The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has set a hurdle on the News Corp (ASX:NWS)-backed Foxtel takeover bid on Austar United Communications (ASX:AUN). The regulator said that Foxtel's proposed $2.5 billion bid would create a near-monopoly and delayed its decision until September.
Foxtel and Austar United Communications' (ASX:AUN) are closing on a merger deal as Foxtel announced a definitive takeover proposal. The agreement will allow John Malone's Liberty Global to buy the rest of Austar shares and hold it for six to eight weeks before selling to Foxtel.
Foxtel's "long overdue" tie-up with Austar United Communications (ASX:AUN) will expand the pay-TV company's coverage to the whole of Australia. Austar's satellite reach will be incorporated into Foxtel's business, which analysts believe will drive down pay-TV prices.
After confirming that talks between major shareholders Foxtel and Liberty Global would proceed, Austar United Communications' (ASX:AUN) shares rose more than 7 percent. The talks can lead to a takeover from Foxtel, but no formal bids have been guaranteed.
Shares rose to $1.315, adding as much as 9 cents or 7.4 percent. Shares in Austar are valued at around $1.63 billion.
Austar United Communications (ASX:AUN) chief executive John Porter puts his foot down and wants the Foxtel-Austar protracted merger talks to end if Foxtel does not follow through. Austar wants to move on and recoup its weak first quarter.
