The long drawn-out attempt for AB InBev to acquire Grupo Modelo, a deal that resulted in the Department of Justice filing a suit to block the merger, could be extended even further. According to reports, Anheuser-Busch InBev and Constellation Brands, the latter of which is looking to sell its remaining 50 percent stake in Grupo Modelo for more than $20 billion, have requested with the DOJ another extension of the case. The parties are reportedly seeking more time to settle.
