@AllAboutBrazil Inbev is the PARENT company to Ambev. Carlos Brito, who is Brazilian, is indeed the company's CEO. Jorge Paulo Lemann, Carlos Alberto da Veiga Sicupira and Marcel Telles, all of them Brazilians, are AB-Inbev's major shareholders, controlling up to 25% of the company, which is based in Belgium and publishes its annual reports in English and in US dollars.
Cool. Go Belgium. But i don`t understand why Heineken doesn`t do more takeovers. These take overs are much faster then expending a brand itself. Though Heineken is doing very well.
why do they call it a merge then? Why are most of the board of directors brazilians? Why was the name changed from interbrew to Inbev? (closer to Ambev if you ask me...). anyways, I think that having headquarters in Belgium just sounded better for their reputation in the beer market, and also for their strong currency. Eventually all upper management will be replaced by brazilians...

@AllAboutBrazil Inbev is based in Belgium, therefore is a belgian company. Most of it shareholders, though, are Brazilians. I think you got confused.

"InBev does not"
Wrong...
They do it once a year, what's the problem about that?

Technically this was a take over, not a merger. Interbrew bought Ambev in 2004, the companies did not merge.
