On September 21, 2026, Berentzen-Gruppe Aktiengesellschaft and Sazerac Company, Inc. announced their plans to form a significant spirits platform in Europe. Sazerac will offer EUR 5.55 per share for Berentzen, a 68% premium over its recent average share price. This initiative aims to bolster growth in the European market.
