"SCHIBSTED FLAGS FOR 10.1% (NEW) (Direct) 2023-09-13 14:07
STOCKHOLM (Nyhetsbyrån Direkt) Norwegian Schibsted flags for 10.1 percent in Viaplay.
This is according to a press release on Oslo Börs Newsweb.
Schibsted owns 8.0 million B shares within a so-called total return swap.
"Schibsted has a long history of investing in companies close to our core that capitalize on our strength, and seizing opportunities that arise in more uncertain times. Our investment in Viaplay is an example of that – Viaplay's strong position as a streaming provider in the Nordics fits well with our media operations and we are sure that, as a financially focused shareholder, we can support value creation in the company," says Schibsted CEO Kristin Skogen Lund in a comment.
According to the owner data service Holdings, an ownership of 10.1 percent means that Schibsted is the second largest shareholder in Viaplay after France's Canal+, which has 12.01 percent of the capital and 11.3 percent of the votes."
