KirchMedia and ProSiebenSat.1 Media AG jointly announced today their decision to terminate discussions on the merger proposed in September 2001. The Management Board of KirchMedia and the Executive Board of ProSiebenSat.1 Media AG agree that in light of the economic climate and the current situation of KirchGruppe the merger is not feasible in the foreseeable future. The two companies will continue to work together, as they have always successfully been doing, to maximise value in the interest of both, taking also advantage, where possible, of cost reduction potential already identified during the merger preparation.
