Global brewery Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev) subsidiary Anheuser-Busch InBev Finance has completed the pricing of $46-billion in principal bonds to fund a portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of counterpart SABMiller.

The remainder of the net proceeds of the offering, which was expected to close on January 25, would be used for general corporate purposes.

The 2019 fixed-rate notes, the 2021 fixed- and floating-rate notes, the 2023 notes and the 2026 notes would be subject to a special mandatory redemption at a redemption price equal to 101% of the initial price of such notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
