BSkyB sale nets Granada $725.3 million
Article Abstract:
Leisure and media company Granada Group PLC disposed its 6.5% stake in British Sky Broadcasting PLC by selling it to BT Alex. Brown, an investment bank, for 429 million pounds sterling ($725.3 million) in cash. Granada will utilize the cash payment to strengthen its earnings and pay its debt liabilities. According to Granada's chief executive officer, Charles Allen, the move was appropriate because, as a minority shareholder, the company does not have a strong grip of BSkyB which holds a strong market share in the digital technology market.
