HONG KONG (Reuters) – Shares in AB InBev’s <ABI.BR> Asia-Pacific unit Budweiser Brewing Company APAC Ltd <1876.HK> were set to open up 1.5% on their market debut in Hong Kong on Monday.

Anheuser-Busch InBev NV (AB InBev), the world’s largest brewer, last week raised about $5 billion in the world’s second-biggest IPO this year, after pricing the Hong Kong float at the bottom of a marketed range.

Shares of Budweiser APAC, whose portfolio of more than 50 beer brands includes Stella Artois and Corona, were set to open up at HK$27.40, compared to its IPO price of HK$27 per share.
