Highlight Communications

Turkish media group Acunmedya has bought a 50-per-cent stake in German sports broadcaster Sport1 for €30m ($32.5m) following an agreement struck with owner Highlight Communications.

The purchase of 3.5 million new shares in Highlight Event and Entertainment (HLEE) has pushed the shareholding of Alexander Studhalter below 20 per cent, as Highlight seeks to minimise risks to the company posed by restrictions placed on the Swiss businessman by US authorities.
