As previously reported by Scripps Networks Interactive, Inc. (the “Company”) on a Current Report on Form 8-K, on September 3, 2015, Southbank Media, Ltd., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Southbank”), filed with the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (the “PFSA”) the squeeze-out documentation required under Polish law to effect a mandatory squeeze-out of the remaining shareholders in TVN by acquiring all of their shares in TVN at a price of 20.00 Polish Zloty (“PLN”) per TVN share, or approximately PLN 84.0 million in the aggregate (the “Squeeze-out”). In accordance with Polish law, following PFSA’s review of the squeeze-out documentation, a 5-day squeeze-out subscription period commenced on September 23, 2015, during which period Southbank will acquire all of the TVN shares it currently does not own from the remaining TVN shareholders. Additionally, in accordance with applicable Polish law, on September 23, 2015, the Warsaw Stock Exchange (the “WSE”) suspended trading in TVN shares.
The Squeeze-out is expected to be completed on September 28, 2015, following which Southbank intends to delist TVN’s shares from the WSE. The timing of such delisting has not yet been determined.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
