Twenty-First Century Research Reports
On August 5, 2014, Twenty-First Century Fox Inc. (21st Century Fox) announced that the Company has withdrawn its proposal to acquire Time Warner Inc. (Time Warner). Rupert Murdoch, Chairman and CEO, 21st Century Fox, said, "Our proposal had significant strategic merit and compelling financial rationale and our approach had always been friendly. However, Time Warner management and its Board refused to engage with us to explore an offer which was highly compelling. Additionally, the reaction in our share price since our proposal was made undervalues our stock and makes the transaction unattractive to Fox shareholders. These factors, coupled with our commitment to be both disciplined in our approach to the combination and focused on delivering value for the Fox shareholders, has led us to withdraw our offer." The Company added that its Board has authorized a share repurchase program of $6 billion. 21st Century Fox stated that the repurchase of an additional $6 billion of Class A Common Stock is expected to be completed in the next 12 months.
