Disney Gets Fox's Blessings
21st Century Fox has accepted Walt Disney Co.’s offer to acquire its entertainment assets.
The $71.3 billion deal marks one of the biggest mergers ever in the U.S. entertainment industry. Disney, however, still needs to get the regulatory nod from several international jurisdictions including China and European Union for the deal to actually materialize. Disney has already agreed to divest Fox’s 22 regional sports networks that compete with its own ESPN, and therefore fulfilled the U.S. Justice Department’s condition for the acquisition’s approval.
Disney’s first bid for Fox's assets came in December at $52.4 billion. But that was followed by Comcast Corp.’s $65 billion offer - which in turn spurred Disney’s counter-bid of $71 billion comprising a mix of stock and cash. However, Comcast decided earlier this month to no longer pursue Fox’s assets.
