Will InBev’s mystery board member please stand up?
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
We are getting curious, very curious, about who InBev is going to tap as the second new board member to come along with its purchase of Anheuser-Busch. As part of the planned $52 billion buyout, the Belgian brewer agreed to name two current or former board members of St. Louis-based Anheuser-Busch to its own board.
August A. Busch IV, currently chief executive of A-B, was the first person named. But that was a good four months ago, and InBev has not named the second person. As of this morning, a decision had still not been made, an InBev spokeswoman told Lager Heads. We will continue to poke around, but so far the silence from Leuven, Belgium has been deafening.

I imagine they’re waiting to see what happens with the Modelo relationship. If Modelo stays in bed with AB/Inbev you will see them represented on the board in the form of their current member.
I believe their waiting on Modelo, I assume Modelos President would get the membership if they come aboard, but thats to be seen,
