goetzpartners advised TDF in the acquisition of Media&Broadcast

goetzpartners acted as financial adviser to TDF.

The two market leaders in France and Germany will be joining forces in a merger of equals and constitute a new group based on two strong pillars in these two countries. The TDF group already has an operational presence in 7 European countries (France, Finland, Hungary, Spain, the Netherlands, Estonia and Poland). Following the acquisition of Antenna Hungaria in May 2007, it will now reach a new European dimension with T-Systems Media&Broadcast’s leading position in the German market. Pro forma, consolidated revenues of the TDF group (of which around 50% will be generated outside France) will now amount to €1.6 billion (2007 estimate), backed by over 5,000 employees in 8 European countries. Major shareholders in TDF are TPG (42%), Caisse de Dépôts (24%), AXA (18%) and Charterhouse (14%).
