Budweiser Brewing Company APAC Ltd., the Asia Pacific unit of Anheuser-Busch InBev NV, is guiding potential investors that it could price its $9.8 billion Hong Kong initial public offering toward the low end of a marketed range.

The company will stop taking orders from investors in Asia and Europe at 5p.m. in each region and at noon New York time, according to a message communicated to fund managers Thursday. The firm is offering 1.63 billion shares at HK$40 to HK$47 each. The final price hasn’t been set yet and the pricing level is subject to change.
