SYDNEY--Australian free-to-air broadcaster Ten Network Holdings
Ltd. (TEN.AU) said it would sell an up-to-15% stake in the company
to cable-TV provider Foxtel for 77 million Australian dollars
(US$60 million).
Ten said it would raise another A$77 million through an issue of
new shares to existing investors. The shares to Foxtel and existing
investors will be issued at A$0.15 each, a steep 57% discount to
their most recent trade of A$0.265.
Sydney-based Ten said it would also take a 25% stake in Multi
Channel Network, an advertising sales joint venture between Foxtel
and Fox Sports, and appoint the company as a sales representative
to gain scale and reduce costs. It would also have an option to
take a 10% interest in the Presto online-streaming service.
Foxtel is an equal joint venture between Telstra Corp. and News
Corp. (NWS), publisher of The Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones
Newswires.
