Our notes
Annual & Sustainability Report 2025 (directors' report): at 31 Dec 2025 largest shareholders Groupe Canal+ SA 29% and PPF Cyprus Management Ltd 29% of votes, Nordea Funds 13%, no other >5%; share-transfer restrictions under the Canal+/PPF cooperation agreement. No single majority owner: 'eu-controlled' rests on both blockholders being EU-domiciled. Listed on Nasdaq Stockholm. Take-private talks by the two were reported in March 2026 (press only, unconfirmed). Operating subsidiary Viaplay Group Sweden AB LEI 549300T111IIX2U27H83; old Viaplay AB LEI 549300SO8EEFAUQJFF10 RETIRED. Re-checked 2026-10-18: Viaplay's own release convening the Nomination Committee for the 2027 AGM (viaplaygroup.com/en/newsroom/press-releases/viaplay-groups-nomination-committee-convened-2483651) still lists members appointed by Groupe Canal+ SA, PPF Cyprus Management Limited and Nordea, and the company still describes itself as listed on Nasdaq Stockholm, so no completed take-private is visible in primary sources. Web search was unavailable for this re-check.
