The $18.33 billion takeover bid for Spain's Altadis SA has recently been approved and will consolidate Imperial's position as the world's fourth-largest tobacco company. It will also mean Imperial leapfrogs British American Tobacco PLC and Japan Tobacco to become Europe's second-largest player behind Altria.
