sabmiller released this statement, basically sabmiller has decided to make an offer to foster's shareholders directly. so far, there's been no willingness to engage and 09% of all shareholders would need to approve the takeover bid. >> interesting. a lot has changed since june when the first takeover, the friendly takeover was announced. market conditions certainly much weaker now than it was then. there. >> are two reasons foster's might be nearing a wall on this. no other company has actually come calling for foster's to join them. basically there's no competition and less of a possibility for a price war. that is related to what's happened in the past month. markets have sunk because of sovereign debt issues in europe. the debt ceiling in the u.s. and the falloff from a slowing global economy. what does that mean? less buying power for any company that does want to do a takeover. foster's will release full-year earnings next week. if that comes out better than expected, that may push sabmiller to do a third offer at the higher price. >> rami inocencio, thank you. >>> and tony fernandez ma
