The agreement follows conclusion of exclusive negotiation period where in due diligence was conducted. Post-merger, Sony will be the largest shareholder owning 51% in the merged entity.

We believe this merger is a win-win situation, as it will result in material synergies (~6-8% largely on the revenue side) and drive growth as merged entity will have a cash ammunition of $1.7 billion (inclusive of cash on Zee Entertainment’s books).

Funds will be utilised to accelerate investment in digital business and bid for premium content like sports.
