TVN's shares closed at PLN 17.62 on Tuesday, Reuters pointed out. In line with the Polish law, Scripps is required  to launch a tender to increase its stake to at least 66 percent within three months of completion of the stake purchase. The American company said on Tuesday that it is going to put on sale the remaining public ownership in TVN, and withdraw it from the WSE. However, Scripps did not set a price for the offer.
