| Bud is back ... on NYSE |
| After 10 months in Brussels, Anheuser-Busch InBev shares will start trading in New York Wednesday under its former symbol: 'BUD.'
Anheuser-Busch InBev NV shares will start trading in New York Wednesday, 10 months after Belgium's InBev acquired the iconic U.S. brewer and moved its primary listing to Brussels.
U.S.-listed shares, or American Depositary Receipts, of the world's largest brewer will trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the former Anheuser-Busch symbol "BUD" -- a nod to its Budweiser beer label.
Each ADR will represent one ordinary share of Anheuser-InBev common stock, which will continue to trade on Euronext Brussels under the symbol "ABI." |
