Anheuser-Busch InBev is buying back a South Korean brewery which it sold in 2009 to lower its debt.

Oriental Brewery was sold to private equity companies KKR and Affinity Equity for $1.8 billion. Now the Belgian-based group, which is the world's largest brewer, is repurchasing it for $5.8 billion under terms of the sales which allow it to buy Oriental back after five years.
