VICTOR, N.Y., Aug. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Constellation Brands, Inc.

The ASX delisting effort is not a share buyback and does not have an impact on the company's securities listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Additionally, the delisting process does not impact the company's Australian business operations.
