JTBC to pick preferred bidder in January

JTBC, which is undergoing corporate rehabilitation, has officially begun its management sale process. On November 9, its sale manager EY Hanyoung issued a public notice stating the sale will proceed via open competitive bidding, including a third-party allotment capital increase and corporate bond issuance. Letters of intent will be accepted for four weeks, followed by preliminary due diligence and final bids, with a preferred bidder candidate to be selected in January next year, Yonhap and Chosun Ilbo report. The sale timeline was pushed from an earlier plan, with Chosun Ilbo noting that complaints from bidders over short due diligence periods during the JoongAng Ilbo sale influenced the schedule. Korea's media are closely watching the process, with Maeil Economic Daily highlighting JTBC as a key M&A market event next week, while Chosun Ilbo separately reported that the public auction price for JTBC's Ilsan studio has fallen below the loan principal, raising concerns for lenders Hana Bank and Gyeongnam Bank over recovery.
