Linklaters announced that it has advised the Funke Media Group on the sale of select magazine titles to the Klambt Media Group -- a sale required by the German Federal Cartel Office to ensure approval of combination between Funke and Axel Springer, initially reported by CEE Legal Matters on May 7, 2014.

The portfolio of TV guides sold off includes, among others, Funke Media Group’s own TV guides, as well as the Bildwoche, Funk Uhr and TV NEU TV guides, which it had previously acquired from Axel Springer. It remains now only with respect to the establishment of joint ventures for the advertising marketing and distribution of print and online offers agreed by Funke and Springer that the antitrust merger clearance still remains to be granted.

The Linklaters team was led by Nikolaos Paschos and Christoph van Lier, with assistance by Achim Kirchfeld, Eva Reudelhuber, Sebastian Benz, Daniel Pauly, Tim Mundhenke, Judit Kormoczi, Przemyslaw Lipin, Nadine Annette Geppert, Hubertus Witte, Eva Kotthaus, Fabian Rosner, Julian Bohmer, Marco Huchzermeier, and Alexander Ofiarkiewicz.
