Constellation Brands (STZ) 'Disappointed' with DOJ Decision on InBev/Grupo Modelo

January 31, 2013 11:19 AM EST
Constellation Brands (NYSE: STZ) issued the following statement after the DOJ moved to block the Anheuser-Busch InBev-Grupo Modelo transaction.

"Constellation Brands is disappointed with the DOJ decision. The proposed transaction would further establish Crown Imports as a more independent and competitive entity and solidify its position as a major player in the U.S. beer industry. We will provide further comment when appropriate.

Given today`s development, we no longer expect the deal to close during the first calendar quarter of 2013 but we ultimately look forward to an expeditious resolution."
