Chemiskor to acquire struggling Internet portal Ahoj.pl

Local media player Chemiskor over the weekend announced it will purchase beleaguered Internet portal Ahoj.pl after it bought debts of the portal worth zl.2 million from OMD Poland media house in February of this year and shortly thereafter began negotiations with The Mothership Poland (TMP), Ahoj’s current owner, for a possible acquisition. Last week Ahoj spokesman Marcin Gruszka announced that talks were taking place between TMP and Chemiskor. On Saturday, Chemiskor and TMP released a joint statement confirming that Chemiskor would pay about zl.8 million by September 30 to complete the deal. Chemiskor says it will reveal details of its new Internet strategy and the location of Ahoj’s headquarters at a press conference set to take place within the next three weeks.
