The fate of the USD 10 billion-merger between Zee Entertainment Enterprises and Culver Max Entertainment is hanging by a thread, with the two parties unable to finalise an agreement as the end of the one-month grace period looms.
The two parties are yet to come to an agreement over Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd (ZEEL) MD and CEO Punit Goenka leading the merged entity after Sony expressed concerns over market regulator Sebi barring him from holding managerial posts in Zee and any of the entities in a fund-diversion case.
Though the Securities and Exchange Board of India order was stayed by the Securities Appellate Tribunal, Sony is not comfortable with Goenka leading the merged entity due to the stringent corporate governance policy in Japan.
The deal, which was signed between Zee Entertainment and Sony Pictures Networks India in 2021, has a stipulated period of two years in which the merger was to be completed before December 21, 2023, including regulatory and other approvals with a grace period of one month to complete the transaction.

By January 21, the one-month grace period for extended negotiations will end. Zee Entertainment on Tuesday said it is “committed” to the merger with Sony Pictures Networks India and is working towards a “successful closure” of the transaction that will create the country’s largest media house worth USD 10 billion.
“We wish to reiterate that the company is committed to the merger with Sony and is continuing to work towards a successful closure of the proposed merger,” ZEEL said in a filing to the stock exchanges.
The filing was submitted in response to a clarification sought by the bourses on reports that Sony might call off the deal.

Consecutive days of upcloses brought cheer to Bank Nifty traders, an event that has occurred for the first time since hitting record peak in September. Yet, we are yet to clear the congestion resistances of the last fortnight. This along with the 50DMA at 44,760 presents a very formidable hurdle for bank nifty. This forces us to continue with a cautious approach, rather than embarking on an outright recovery play. But, given the three day ascent seen in MACD forest, and the oversold territory from which the index is coming off, there is still a reasonable window to pick upswings, but prospects appear limited as long as the 50DMA stays above.
