Czech internet group Mall Group, owned by Rockaway Capital of Jakub Havrlant, EC Investment of Czech and Slovak billionaires Daniel Kretinsky and Patrik Tkac and PPF Group of the late Czech billionaire Petr Kellner, sold its online television station Mall.tv fully to Kretinsky´s and Tkac´s media group Czech Media Invest, according to SeznamZpravy.
Mall.tv has become part of the newly established company Czech Video Center, an affiliation of the publishing house Czech News Center of Kretinsky and Tkac. The conditions of the transaction have not been revealed.
The changes in ownership have been speeded up also by the success of the #martyisdead thriller show, which won a prestigious international Emmy award last year. "France, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and the Asian market have shown interest in the internationally award-winning eight-part thriller #martyisdead," said Mall.tv spokesperson Eva Albrechtova.
The Mall Group has been negotiating hard about its future for some time already, the most likely scenarios are either a direct sale of the group (Polish Allegro among the hot candidates) or an IPO.
