PepsiCo Waives Clause Paving Way For Carlsberg's Potential Britvic Buy
PepsiCo Waives Clause Paving Way For Carlsberg's Potential Britvic Buy
Danish brewer Carlsberg (OTC:CABGY) said that PepsiCo Inc (NASDAQ:PEP) has agreed to waive a clause in its bottling agreement with Britvic (OTC:BTVCY) making the British company a more appealing acquisition target.
丹麦啤酒生产商嘉士伯（场外交易：CABGY）表示，百事可乐公司（纳斯达克：PEP）同意放弃其与英国束百有限公司（场外交易：BTVCY）的装瓶协议中的一项条款，使得英国公司成为更有吸引力的收购目标。
The development follows Britvic's rejection of a $3.9 billion bid from Carlsberg, potentially paving the way for an increased offer.
此举发生在束百有限公司拒绝了嘉士伯39亿美元的收购要约之后，这有可能为其提高的报价铺平道路。
The waiver will take effect if Britvic's board recommends and completes an acquisition by Carlsberg, Reuters reported.
据路透社报道，如果束百有限公司的董事会建议并完成收购嘉士伯，则豁免条款将生效。
Britvic's shares surged by 10% to a record high of 1,207 pence in London following the news. The move signals Carlsberg's ongoing interest in acquiring the soft drinks manufacturer.
消息传出后，束百有限公司的股价在伦敦市场一举飙升10%至创纪录的1207便士，这表明嘉士伯继续对收购这家软饮料制造商感兴趣。
Carlsberg's interest in Britvic is aimed at expanding its beverage portfolio, particularly its soft drinks segment. Britvic, known for its Robinsons and R. White's brands, holds a significant presence in the U.K. market.
嘉士伯对束百有限公司的兴趣在于扩大其饮料组合，特别是软饮料部门。束百有限公司以其Robinsons和R. White's品牌而闻名，在英国市场上占据重要地位。

Additionally, Britvic's long-term franchise bottling agreement with PepsiCo, covering brands like Pepsi, 7UP, and Mountain Dew, adds value to the potential acquisition.
此外，束百有限公司与百事可乐的长期特许装瓶协议，涵盖百事可乐、7UP和Mountain Dew等品牌，为潜在收购增加了价值。
The change of control clause waiver provides enhanced protection for PepsiCo if Britvic's ownership changes.
控制权条款豁免为百事可乐提供了增强保护，如果束百有限公司的所有权发生变化。
Carlsberg, which already bottles Pepsi products in markets like Norway and Sweden, stands to benefit from extending this partnership.
嘉士伯已经在挪威和瑞典等市场上装瓶百事可乐产品，通过扩大这种合作关系，嘉士伯将获益。
Carlsberg has until July 19 to make a formal offer for Britvic or withdraw. The Danish brewer is still assessing its position, with no certainty of an offer being made.
在7月19日之前，嘉士伯可以正式收购束百有限公司或撤回收购要约。该丹麦啤酒生产商仍在评估其立场，无法确定是否会发出收购要约。
