8th Circuit Tosses Private Challenge to AB-InBev Merger

The 8th Circuit upeld a district court’s dismissal of a lawsuit challenging the ABInbev merger.   The district court had dismissed the case on the pleadings.   The 8th Circuit decision upheld the dismissal and serves as a refresher of the chronology of the takeover.  Among other things, the plaintiffs lost their attempt to make Carlos Brito and other senior ABI management undergo depositions.
