Heineken will use the funds generated by the notes for "general corporate purposes" |
Heineken has secured a EUR1.75bn (US$2.15bn) cash injection through the placement of two sets of notes on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.
Although the brewer is hoping to buy Fraser & Neave out of their Asia Pacific Breweries JV for around US$4bn, Heineken said earlier today (27 July) that the funds raised by the notes will be used for "general corporate purposes".
Heineken is set to announce its H1 results on 22 August.
