I disagree, Franc. Of course the board/shareholders could just of said 'No' as easily as saying 'Yes'! If you dangle a big enough worm in front of a bass' mouth it's bound to bite eventually, cheap dollar or not. This wasn't a hostile take over by In-Bev. It was 52 billion buckeroos dangling in front of them. That's a lot of worms BUT if you don't want to sell you don't have to! I would think greed on the part of some shareholders & certainly the B.O.D.'s had PLENTY to do with it!
