French Firm, Canal+ Group, Offers To Buy Multichoice For $1.69bn - Business 

Nairaland


Canal+ Group, a French TV channel, has offered to buy all the shares in South Africa’s MultiChoice for $1.69 billion.

According to Reuters, Canal+, in a statement on Thursday, said it has already submitted a proposal to this effect.

Canal+, a top shareholder in MultiChoice with a 31.67 percent stake, according to data on London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG), said it would likely pay 105 rand in cash per share — a 40 percent premium to MultiChoice’s closing share price on Wednesday.

The French firm said its offer, worth 31.7 billion rand ($1.69 billion), was non-binding and indicative.

The company is expected to deliver a letter of firm intention to MultiChoice’s board once due diligence has been completed.

“MultiChoice to continue to thrive in Africa will require a strategy that enhances its scale as well as strengthened local and global expertise,” Maxime Saada, chairman and chief executive officer (CEO) of Canal Plus, said in a statement.

“Our potential offer, if successful, would be an important next step for MultiChoice to realise its full potential.”

Confirming the development, MultiChoice, which operates in 50 countries in sub-Saharan Africa, said it had received a letter from the French media company and would update shareholders on any developments.

Canal+ is a subsidiary of Vivendi SE, a French mass media holding company headquartered in Paris.

  ECOWAS: Tinubu Not Responsible For The Exit Of Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger - Bwala - Politics - Nairaland The withdrawal of the three West African nations from @ecowas_cedeao ECOWAS has nothing to do with @officialABAT President Tinubu’s leadership or lack thereof as it is peddled by naysayers . It has everything to do with the dynamics of proxy trade conflicts between @GovernmentRF Russia/China and the NATO. @NATO Nigeria is not at war with both blocs, so we are good and President Tinubu would find a path for lasting peace in ECOWAS. Let’s focus on our nation and together as a people we would find solutions to our age long problems. Make dem dey there dey and make we dey our dey.
