Le Monde: Ringier refrains from making an offer
Ringier hat in den vergangenen zehn Tagen das Dossier der zum Verkauf stehenden französischen Tageszeitung Le Monde geprüft. Auf ein konkretes Angebot verzichtet das Schweizer Verlagshaus nun aber.
According to Ringier, the deadline set by Le Monde was too short. This meant that neither discussions nor a well-founded analysis of the strengths and weaknesses profile were possible. The company would have liked to have submitted an offer, the statement continues. However, this was only after a detailed due diligence process.
At the end of the week before last, Ringier's interest in a closer collaboration with Le Monde became known. An interface already exists today: Ringier holds a 47 percent stake in the French-speaking Swiss newspaper Le Temps, while Le Monde holds 2 percent.
