The Japanese entertainment giant is expected to officially disclose this development to the exchange later.
Sony on January 22 issued notice to Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd. (ZEEL) terminating the agreement dated December 22, 2021, to merge ZEEL and CME.
Sony ended the merger earlier today, which was announced two years ago, as they could not agree on some deal conditions, and has also sought $90 million in termination fees from Zee.
The merger could have otherwise created a USD 10 billion media enterprise in the country.
Sony has announced the termination of its 2021 merger agreement with Zee and is seeking $90 million in termination fees. Zee, in response, refuted the claims made by Sony and emphasized its commitment to protecting stakeholders' long-term interests. Zee is evaluating options and plans to contest Culver Max and BEPL's claims through legal action and arbitration proceedings to safeguard its position.
