In an announcement to regulators, Mediaset said it has no plans to acquire additional voting rights in ProSiebenSat.1 Media in the next 12 months or to exercise influence on the appointment of management.

Mediaset founder Silvio Berlusconi said he has no “concrete” plans to acquire additional voting rights, “except for shares subject to instruments already held”.
