 Bertelsmann bolsters portfolio
The agreement between Bertelsmann and GBL - whose stock is majority-owned by private entrepreneurs Albert Frère and Paul Desmarais - involves a share swap in which GBL's shares in the RTL Group are to be exchanged for 25.1% shares in Bertelsmann.
While the deal leaves Bertelsmann the effective owner of RTL Group, 22% of the Group is still owned by Pearson and the remaining 11% is in free-float.
While the acquisition of the RTL Group is certainly a positive step for Bertelsmann, providing a rich seam of additional content and multiple new routes to market, its recent agreement with the now infamous Napster is under threat after judiciaries in the US and Europe effectively ruled the company's service illegal.

Bertelsmann is owned by three major shareholders - the Bertelsmann Foundation, The Mohn family, and Bruxelles Lambert.
The Mohn family and the Bertelsmann Foundation are pretty much the same thing (BVG) and control 75% of Bertelmann AG.
Which means, Bruxelles Lambert has voting rights (25%), but that's not really important, as there are only two parties that are allowed to vote, and the other party's vote weighs in at 75%.

 BW Online | February 5, 2001 | Bertelsmann: Building a Video Napster
At least, that's one of the messages to be drawn from German media giant Bertelsmann's acquisition of a majority stake in RTL Group, Europe's biggest TV company, announced on Feb. 5.
By acquiring an additional 30% stake in RTL from Groupe Bruxelles Lambert, boosting its own stake to 67%, Bertelsmann can try to create Napster-like links with the most powerful television company this side of Hollywood.
That could have huge repercussions, because in three years, Groupe Bruxelles Lambert can sell that stake on the stock market, turning Bertelsmann into a publicly listed company for the first time in its 166-year history.
