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.
