The coming together of ZEEL and Sony will depend on the nod from public shareholders of ZEEL, including the largest shareholder Invesco which is opposed to the union
In a major relief to ZEE, the court restricts Invesco from taking any action or steps in furtherance of the requisition notice including calling and holding an EGM
In a note, MD of ZEEL says that the communications pertaining to Invesco proposals are well-documented, and they speak contrary to the stance taken by the firm
Dr Batra, Chairman & Editor-in-Chief of e4m & BW Businessworld, feels the fight between Zee and Invesco has an equivalence with the trinity of our Gods– Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu & Lord Shiva
Differences arose between Punit Goenka and Invesco with respect to a requirement of the founding family for increasing their stake by subscribing to preferential warrants, Reliance said
Shriram Subramanian, Founder and MD at proxy advisory firm InGovern, has said that Invesco’s actions so far seem to be a takeover battle under the guise of shareholder activism
The company said that the American investment management firm had proposed a merger deal between the company and a large Indian group (Strategic Group) in February this year
The offer was turned down by Zee's Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Punit Goenka as he felt the merging entities of the strategic group were over-valued.
The Mumbai bench of NCLT passed this order after appellate body NCLAT ordered the tribunal to grant reasonable and sufficient opportunity to ZEEL to file its reply
