Carlsberg, a Danish multinational brewer, agreed to acquire the remaining 40% stake in CMBC, one of the UK's largest brewers and the leading UK brewer of cask ale, from Marston's, a British brewing company, for £206m. "Today's announcement represents a significant milestone for Marston's as we realise our stake in CMBC. In my first six months with the business, it has become very clear to me that our core capability and key opportunity to unlock value for shareholders is in driving a focused and successful pub business," Justin Platt, Marston's CEO.
