Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
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 S.A. (“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. In accordance with Polish law, a 5-day squeeze-out subscription period commenced on September 23, 2015. On September 28, 2015, Southbank completed the squeeze-out and settled all of the transactions in connection thereto. As a result of the completion of the squeeze-out, Southbank, directly or indirectly, owns 100% of the issued share capital of TVN.
In addition, on September 29, 2015, TVN’s shareholders adopted a resolution to delist TVN’s shares from the Warsaw Stock Exchange (“WSE”). Accordingly, on September 29, 2015, TVN filed with the PFSA and WSE the documentation required under Polish law to effect the delisting of the TVN shares from WSE.
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.
