NCLAT postpones hearing against Zee-Sony merger to March 18
While the merger itself is no longer active, the legal battle surrounding it continues.
After the deal was terminated in January, Zee apparently has reached out to the Sony executives to reconsider the termination and has also offered for talks this month.
The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) has postponed the hearing regarding the Zee-Sony merger until March 18th.
IDBI Bank, IDBI Trusteeship and Axis Trusteeship had challenged the NCLT (National Company Law Tribunal)’s August 2023 approval of the $10 billion Zee-Sony merger deal.
While the merger itself is no longer active, the legal battle surrounding it continues. Sony called off the merger earlier this year citing Zee's failure to meet certain financial terms and present a plan for resolving them. A termination notice was sent to Zee on January 22, 2024.
Meanwhile, Stakeholders are anticipating a pivotal NCLT hearing on March 12 regarding Zee Entertainment's plea to enforce the stalled $10-billion merger with Sony Pictures Networks.
As Zee pushes for merger enforcement and Sony contests the validity of the petition, the fate of any legal recourse for the Zee-Sony merger hinges on the March 12 NCLT hearing.
