No. 4:13-cv-210 SNLJ

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on plaintiffs’ motion to revise class definition (#73). The
revised class definition reads as follows:
All persons who were: (a) participants in the Anheuser-Busch Companies Pension
Plan in 2008; (b) employed by Anheuser-Busch Companies, LLC or any of its
operating divisions and subsidiaries (the “Controlled Group”) on both November
17 and November 18, 2008; and (c) employed as a salaried employee by Busch
Entertainment Corporation when the sale of Busch Entertainment Corporation to
the Blackstone Group closed on or about December 1, 2009.
No response or objection has been filed to this proposed definition, and it appears that the revised
definition addresses the concerns raised by the defendants as addressed in this Court’s May 16,
2014 Class Certification Order (#69).
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiffs’ motion to revise class definition (#73) is
GRANTED.
Dated this 28th day of July, 2014.
STEPHEN N. LIMBAUGH, JR.
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
