Days after the announcement of the grand merger of Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd (ZEEL) with Sony Group Corp’s Indian unit, Sony Pictures Networks India (SPNI), there has been some fresh turn of events. The company is now facing a tussle with two of its institutional investors. This has led ZEEL to approach an appellate tribunal on Wednesday to sort out differences amicably.
The institution’s largest shareholders – Invesco Developing Markets Fund and OFI Global China Fund LLC own a combined 17.88% stake in ZEEL. Earlier, the two investors demanded a special shareholders’ meeting, which was rejected by the company’s board.
Meanwhile, Zee Group Chairman Dr Subhash Chandra on Wednesday questioned Invesco’s malicious intent and alleged that it is trying to acquire the company in a clandestine manner. Dr Chandra said that Invesco should resolve the matter peacefully.
If we delve into the details about Invesco, it will not be hard to understand that the Zee Group Chairman’s doubts have very strong roots in the shareholder’s past records which is dubious.
