福克斯220亿美元收购Roku获两公司股东放行 仍待司法部反垄断审查

福克斯公司与流媒体平台Roku 10月14日分别召开特别股东大会,双方股东均批准福克斯以220亿美元收购Roku。福克斯B类股东99.9%赞成;Roku股东81.5%赞成。
交易作价每股160美元,约142亿美元现金加福克斯A类股票;完成后福克斯股东将持有合并后公司约73%股份。交易仍待司法部反垄断审查——司法部9月已发出第二轮问询,福克斯称“完全在预料之中”。公司预计2027年上半年完成交割。
合并后将整合Roku的电视操作系统与Roku Channel、福克斯的Tubi免费流媒体业务,做大广告支持的流媒体版图;Roku覆盖约1亿流媒体家庭,Tubi月活约1.1亿。Roku创始人安东尼·伍德将留任并加入合并后董事会。交易于今年6月宣布。

Fox's $22 Billion Acquisition of Roku Wins Both Companies' Shareholder Approval, Still Faces Justice Department Antitrust Review
Fox Corporation and streaming platform Roku held separate special shareholder meetings on Oct. 14, and shareholders of both companies approved Fox's $22 billion acquisition of Roku. Fox's Class B shareholders voted 99.9 percent in favor; Roku shareholders voted 81.5 percent in favor.
The deal is priced at $160 per share, comprising about $14.2 billion in cash plus Fox Class A stock; Fox shareholders will hold about 73 percent of the combined company after closing. The transaction still faces U.S. Justice Department antitrust review; the department issued a second request for information in September, which Fox called completely expected. The companies expect the deal to close in the first half of 2027.
The combined company will bring together Roku's television operating system and the Roku Channel with Fox's free streaming service Tubi to build a larger advertising-supported streaming business. Roku reaches about 100 million streaming households, and Tubi has about 110 million monthly users. Roku founder Anthony Wood will stay on and join the combined company's board. The deal was announced in June.
