Reworld Media/Arnoldo Mondadori Editore Merger Approval

An Analysis Group team was retained on behalf of French media company Reworld Media in its successful merger with Mondadori France, a subsidiary of Arnoldo Mondadori Editore. The team, led by Managing Principal Antoine Chapsal, Principal Emmanuel Frot, and Manager Mario Luca, submitted an economic assessment of the proposed merger to the French Competition Authority (FCA) in which they examined the non-price effects associated with the merger. The FCA approved the merger, determining the sale of one Reworld Media magazine in the concentrated general-interest car magazines market to be the only necessary remedy.
