RMF and ComArch deny selling stake in interia.pl portal
One of Poland's largest radio stations RMF is rumored to be about to sell
50% of its shares in the internet portal Interia.pl for about $8 million.
However, deputy president of ComArch (RMF's partner in Interia) Rafal Chwast
says, "It is nonsense, as nothing like this is taking place." RMF and
Comarch are having talks regarding finding a strategic investor. Initially,
the portal was to be listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE), but the
management board of WSE was taking too long to make a decision about
allowing Interia.pl onto the floor, so both companies decided to allow a
third investor in the portal. "Only when it comes true, we will be able to
say how much we will spend on investment this year. This depends on the
decision of the third investor," said Chwast. (Prawo i Gospodarka, July
