MFE demands improvement from ProSieben after taking hit
MFE, controlled by Italy's Berlusconi family, holds a nearly 30% stake in ProSieben. "We deem ProSieben a long-term investment and we are focused on the performance on our investment," MFE Chief Financial Officer Marco Giordani told analysts during a post results conference call. "Our message to (ProSieben) management is to act quickly in order avoid further loss to shareholders," said Giordani adding ProSieben's dividend cut and a writedown of its programming asset caused a combined 50 million euro ($53.4 million) hit on MFE's earnings in 2023.

While MFE has indicated it could consider a buyout offer for ProSieben only once the latter shed its non-core assets, the endorsement by banks of a potential takeover strengthens MFE's hand in the shareholder battle the two broadcasters have engaged in ahead of ProSieben's annual general meeting (AGM) on April 30. Dutch-based MFE is the single-biggest investor in ProSieben with a near 30% stake it started building in 2019 as part of plans to create a pan-European TV platform. MFE wants ProSieben to divest its digital businesses and is seeking other shareholders' support for an AGM resolution to push the Bavarian group to start assessing a spin-off of its online assets, comprising e-commerce and dating services.
ReutersProSieben gets ISS, Glass Lewis backing in strategy clash with MFE
BERLIN (Reuters) -Proxy advisers ISS and Glass Lewis on Friday backed ProSiebenSat.1 in the German broadcaster's battle over strategy with top investor MFE-MediaForEurope. ISS and Glass Lewis both recommended that shareholders vote against proposals by MFE and Czech investor PPF at ProSieben's annual general meeting on April 30. MFE, which holds nearly 30% of ProSieben's shares, wants the company to shed its e-commerce and dating businesses to focus on television, in a split that could eventually lead to a buyout approach for the German group's TV business.
