SABMiller PLC (SAB.JO) said Tuesday it will continue to seek engagement with the board of Foster's Group Ltd. (FGL.AU) after the Australian brewer rejected its 9.51 billion Australian dollar (US$9.98 billion) offer.

SABMiller sent the proposal to Foster's chairman Monday, in hopes of reaching an agreement on the implementation of a scheme of arrangement.

"We continue to believe that the proposal price is attractive and offers good value to Foster's shareholders," SABMiller Chief Executive Officer Graham Mackay said in a statement.

"SABMiller can conclude a transaction quickly and will continue to seek engagement with the board of Foster's to put an agreed proposal to Foster's shareholders," he said.
