Time Inc. and Meredith Merger Rumor Returns
Now that Time Inc. is on its own, the rumor that the publishing house and Meredith Corporation will merge is popping up once again. According to The Street, Meredith might acquire Time Inc. as soon as next year:
Meredith could buy Time in the fourth quarter of 2015, Citi analyst Jason Bazinet predicted. The deal is not likely to occur before then because of the tax-free nature of the Tiime spin-off, the analyst believes. Time shareholders would probably receive $28 per share in a takeover and would have 40%-48% of Meredith’s equity following the deal.
