Carlsberg plans to raise holding in Habeco

Carlsberg A/S plans to buy any shares Vietnam won’t be able to sell in the initial public offering of Hanoi-Beer-Alcohol-Beverages Corp., (Habeco), according to Nguyen Van Viet, chief executive officer of the brewer.

Carlsberg will buy the shares at VND50,000 (US$3.2) each if the Vietnamese government permits.

Vietnam has already allowed the Danish company to take a 10 percent stake in Habeco.

The government will auction 34.8 million shares in Hanoi-based Habeco on March 27 with a minimum bid of VND50,000.
