As expected, CME announced that it has finalized the acquisition of TV Markiza in Slovakia. CME now holds 80% economic and voting interest in the station. The finalization of the acquisition was subject to the approval of the Slovak Antimonopoly Office and the Broadcasting Council. We reiterate our view that by increasing its voting interest in the station, CME is now in a better position to control it and to utilize synergies between TV Nova in the Czech Republic and TV Markiza. We reiterate our Buy recommendationon CME.
