In other words, it ruled in favour of Luís Delgado, who appealed the decision not to approve the plan.

The CMVM states that the Italian group demonstrated it cannot exert dominant influence over the owner of SIC and Expresso, and therefore, a takeover bid is not required.

MediaForEurope (MFE) will not be required to launch a public takeover bid for Impresa. The CMVM's decision, announced this Tuesday, three and a half months after the agreement between the two groups was formalised on 26 November, ends the deadlock over the deal and paves the way for...
