Regulatory News:
Following the 17 May 2021 announcement of the proposed merger
between the TF1 and M6 groups (Paris:MMT), the France Télévisions
group expressed its wish, if the merger is completed, to divest its
equity interest in Salto (the subscription video on demand service
launched in October 2020 and owned in equal shares by France
Télévisions, TF1 and M6).
Under the terms of an agreement signed today, the TF1 and M6
groups have undertaken that if the merger is completed, they would
buy out the 33.33% equity interest held by France Télévisions at a
definitive value of €45 million. The new group would then own 100%
of Salto, enabling it to develop a streaming project.
Because the agreement is conditional on completion of the merger
between the M6 and TF1 groups, Salto will remain under the joint
control of its three shareholders throughout 2022 to facilitate the
ongoing development of the platform, in line with undertakings made
in connection with French Competition Authority decision no.
