MultiChoice Group Limited / Claim review
Did Canal+ acquire MultiChoice, and when was it cleared?
confidence: highas of 10 Dec 2025
Confirmed fact · as of 10 Dec 2025
Yes. Canal+ SA made a mandatory offer for MultiChoice under South African takeover rules; after conditional competition approval in July 2025, Canal+ reported on 13 October 2025 that the offer had succeeded (about 94 percent) and completed a compulsory squeeze-out, making MultiChoice a Canal+ subsidiary. MultiChoice was delisted from the JSE on 10 December 2025.
A Canal+ SA (regulatory announcement via Investegate/RNS), Implementation of MultiChoice Mandatory Offer (8 Oct 2025) · retrieved 31 Oct 2026 · A Canal+ SA (regulatory announcement via Investegate/RNS), Results of Mandatory Offer to MultiChoice Group shareholders (13 Oct 2025) · retrieved 31 Oct 2026 · A JSE Limited (SENS), Termination of listing of MultiChoice Group Limited securities on the JSE (8 Dec 2025) · retrieved 31 Oct 2026
Reasoning
The mandatory-offer and results announcements and the JSE delisting notice are primary records showing completion; the competition approval is supported by trade reporting and marked as attributed.
A claim review answers one narrow factual question from the cited sources. It is not a verdict on the company.
