investors quit: Doubts over World Cup soccer
The shareholding structure of German pay-TV operator Premiere has undergone
a major reshuffle with financial investors selling most of their stakes.
Private equity investor Permira has announced the offer of 20.76m shares
to institutional investors with Lehman Brothers handling the transaction.
At Premiere's IPO in March, Permira held 23.6% of the shares. Before
the float, Permira was the major shareholder with 55%. The deadline for
selling further shares expired on 9 September. |
