Telegraaf Media Groep : TMG initiates sale process for Keesing

Telegraaf Media Groep ('TMG') confirms that the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board have decided to initiate the process to sell Keesing Media Groep ('Keesing'). The last couple of years, Keesing has experienced strong growth within Telegraaf Media Groep both in terms of sales and profitability. According to the judgement of the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board, a potential sale of Keesing will better enable the company to develop its international growth further.

TMG aims to complete the process before the end of this year and considers to hold on to a minority stake in Keesing.

A potential decision to sell Keesing will be submitted for approval to the shareholders of TMG. An extraordinary meeting of shareholders will be convened for this in due time, taking into account the legal term for convocation.

TMG has mandated ING to manage the sale process.
