Carlsberg finds buyer for Russia business
After a long time, Carlsberg has found a buyer for its business in Russia. An agreement was signed on Friday, as the Danish brewer announced in Copenhagen. Who the buyer is, the group left open, as well as the sale amount. The signing of the agreement is a very important milestone in the highly complex separation and sale process, explained Carlsberg CEO Cees 't Hart. The necessary approvals from the Russian authorities are now awaited. The timing of the final closing of the transaction is therefore still unclear, he added.
