COMMUNICATION OF RELEVANT INFORMATION
Promotora de Informaciones, S.A. (PRISA) announces the following relevant information, under the provisions of article 82 of Spanish Securities Market Act ("Ley del Mercado de Valores").
Following the Relevant Information dated May 6 and 7, 2014 (with registration CNMV No. 204783 and 204972) PRISA announces that, after its approval by the Board of Directors of the Company at the meeting held today, PRISA has executed with Telefonica de Contenidos, S.A.U. the sale purchase agreement of all the shares DTS Distribuidora de Television Digital, SA (“DTS”) held by PRISA, representing 56% of the share capital of DTS. The agreed price finally amounts to EUR 750,000,000, subject to adjustments at the closing usual in this type of transaction.
Mediaset Espana Comunicacion, S.A., shareholder of DTS, will have a fifteen calendar day period, in order to, as the case may be, exercise the pre-emptive right or the tag-along right in accordance with the provisions included in the bylaws and the shareholders' agreement.
The closing of transaction is subject to the approval of a panel representative of PRISA's financing banks and the prescriptive authorization of the anti-trust authorities.
According to estimates of the Company, this transaction will mean an accounting loss in the consolidated PRISA Group accounts of approximately EUR 2,067 million and in the individual accounts of PRISA of EUR 753 million approximately, that will place the company in an equity imbalance situation. PRISA's restructuring agreement foresees an automatic mechanism of automatic conversion of a portion of the Company's debt into equity loans in an amount sufficient to compensate for this imbalance.
