Britain`s takeover regulator said on Wednesday that it would review its ruling that Walt Disney might have to acquire UK broadcaster Sky for at least 14 pounds a share.
The Takeover Panel said its hearings committee would meet on July 27 to examine the regulator`s decision last week after "various interested parties affected by the ruling" asked for a review.
The Panel`s decision that Disney should make a mandatory offer of at least 14 pounds a share for Sky only applies if Disney`s offer for Twenty-First Century Fox, which owns 39 percent of Sky, completes before either Fox or Comcast succeed with their competing offers to take control of the British pay-television company.
Sky`s independent directors have recommended a 14.75 pounds a share offer made by Comcast last week that trumped a 14 pounds offer submitted by Fox.
