Subject: Application number 2001-1269-9 – Approved
Intra-corporate reorganization changing effective control of Groupe
TVA inc., following the wind up of certain Groupe Vidéotron ltée
subsidiaries, without changing ultimate control of Groupe TVA inc.
Dear Sir:
This letter is to inform you that the Commission approves your
application for reorganization filed on behalf of Groupe TVA inc. to carry
out an intra-corporate reorganization to transfer the effective control of
the licensee company Groupe TVA inc. to Groupe Vidéotron ltée. The
Commission understands that the reorganization will be effected through
the following transactions:
the winding up of 9076-1859 Québec inc. (the parent corporation of
9076-1883 Québec inc.), into Groupe Vidéotron ltée; and the winding
up of 9076-1883 Québec inc., the principal shareholder of Groupe TVA
inc., into Groupe Vidéotron ltée.
Groupe TVA inc. is the licensee of CFCM-TV Québec, CHEM-TV
Trois-Rivières, CFER-TV Rimouski, CFTM-TV Montréal, CHLT-TV Sherbrooke,
CJPM-TV Chicoutimi, as well as of the TVA television network and Le Canal
Nouvelles.
The goal of the reorganization is to simplify the ownership structure
of Groupe TVA inc. broadcasting undertakings without changing its ultimate
control or level of participation in the affected undertakings. The
Commission notes that, following the reorganization, Quebecor Média inc.
will continue to have the ultimate control of Groupe TVA inc.
The Commission will modify its records to reflect the changes as shown
in the attached appendix.
All letters of approval issued by the Commission are made available for
public examination at the Commission’s central office. The Commission
asks that you append this letter to your licences.
Yours sincerely,
Ursula Menke
Secretary General
