TOP NEWS: Fox Sets Out Competition Remedies For Sky Takeover

Tue, 03rd Apr 2018 07:50

LONDON (Alliance News) - Sky PLC on Tuesday noted two alternative remedy proposals submitted by Twenty-First Century Fox to the UK Competition & Markets Authority.

Fox is seeking to acquire the 61% of Sky it does not already own.

Fox has proposed the creation of Newco, which would be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sky, and the business of Sky News would be transferred into this newly incorporated company.

"Under this proposal, Sky News would operate entirely independently with guaranteed funding by 21CF for 15 years. Additionally, we offered personal undertakings given by 21CF's Executive Chairmen and its CEO not to influence or attempt to influence the editorial choices made by the Head of Sky News," said Fox in a statement.

Alternatively, Fox said, The Walt Disney Co has expressed an interested in acquiring Sky News "whether or not Disney's proposed acquisition of [Fox] proceeds".

In December, Disney said it planned to acquire a large part of Fox, including the Twentieth Century Fox movie and televison studio, cable channels including regional sports networks and key international properties, such as its stake in Sky.

Sky in a statement on Tuesday said: "Sky believes that both of these remedy proposals comprehensively address any plurality concerns the CMA may have, and would guarantee the long-term future of Sky News and its ongoing editorial independence."

Sky advised shareholders to take no action at this stage.
