South Africa’s takeover panel has mandated French media giant Groupe Canal+ SA to immediately extend a mandatory offer to acquire additional shares of pay-TV company MultiChoice, following Canal Plus’ attempt to purchase the remaining stake in the company. Despite Canal Plus already being the largest shareholder with a 35.01% stake, surpassing the 35% threshold triggering the mandatory offer, MultiChoice’s board rejected Canal Plus’ initial bid of 105 rand per share, deeming it significantly undervalued. According to the Takeover Regulations Panel (TRP) in its ruling: “Canal+ must take immediate action to comply with the requirements of.. the (Companies) Act and the regulations by making a mandatory offer to the remaining shareholders of MultiChoice.” Moving forward, Canal Plus contended that it was exempted from making a mandatory offer, citing restrictions in the streaming company’s memorandum of incorporation which limit foreign companies to a maximum of 20% of the broadcaster’s voting rights.
