21st Century Fox ha provato ad acquisire Time Warner per 80 miliardi di dollari, ma l’offerta è stata rifiutata

(Reuters) – Rupert Murdoch’s 21st Century Fox (FOXA.O) said it made a bid to buy media conglomerate Time Warner Inc (TWX.N) but was rebuffed.

The bid was worth roughly $80 billion, or $85 per share in cash and stock, a source familiar with the situation told Reuters.

Time Warner’s stock jumped 22.5 percent to $87 premarket as the New York Times reported that Murdoch was determined to buy Time Warner and was unlikely to walk away despite the rejection.

Twenty-First Century Fox confirmed that it had made the formal proposal to Time Warner last month.
