READ: Blackstar makes offer for Times Media Group

Times Media Group (TMG) announced early in December that it has appointed an independent board to consider an offer from investment company Blackstar to acquire its entire ordinary issued share capital.

Blackstar currently owns 32.5% of TMG shares and intends to acquire the remaining 67.5% under the proposed scheme of arrangement.

TMG would then become a wholly owned subsidiary of Blackstar. Blackstar and Times Media CEO Andrew Bonamour said the move demonstrated the investment company’s commitment to the media group.
