Daily Mail & General Trust chair’s family would buy about 70% of group that it does not already own
Lord Rothermere is considering taking the Daily Mail private in a deal that could value the newspaper group at £810m, a move that would end a 90-year run as a publicly listed company on the London Stock Exchange.
The Rothermere family has put forward a potential offer that would involve buying about 70% of the Daily Mail & General Trust (DMGT) group that it does not already own. The move would give Rothermere, who is also chairman of the group, full control of DMGT and take the company off the stock exchange.
