RTL Group is responding to the imminent takeover of Sky Deutschland with a targeted share buyback. The media company has announced that it will buy back up to four million of its own shares, which corresponds to around 2.6 % of the share capital. The buyback will take place at a price of between \u20ac30.85 and \u20ac37.85 per share.<\/p>

The background to the buyback is the planned payment of a variable component of the purchase price for Sky Deutschland. By building up its own share portfolio, RTL can settle this component - which amounts to up to \u20ac 377 million - in shares in full or in part. Alternatively, the repurchased shares could also be used for future acquisitions.<\/p>

The acceptance period for the offer runs from 4 to 12 September 2025. Bertelsmann, the majority shareholder with a stake of over 76 %, has already agreed to contribute two million treasury shares, which will be taken into account at the final buyback price.<\/p>

With this measure, RTL is not only signalling strategic flexibility in the context of the Sky takeover, but also confidence in its own shares and the long-term value of the company. Experts see the move as a clever financial instrument for organising larger takeovers efficiently and in line with the market.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t
