ST. LOUIS — Promising “a new Anheuser- Busch,” top executives at the St. Louis brewer on Friday laid out a new strategic plan to cut costs by $1 billion and boost international sales as they try to fend off the $65-a- share takeover bid by Belgian brewing giant InBev.
Their plan includes buyouts later this year of some salaried employees, higher beer prices and aggressive pursuit of new markets overseas.
