Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd.(ZEEL) Forms Independent Advisory Committee
Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd has taken a significant step to address shareholder concerns by establishing an independent advisory committee. The committee, led by retired Judge Satish Chandra from the Allahabad High Court, aims to restore confidence among shareholders. Alongside Judge Chandra, Uttam Agarwal and P V Ramana Murthy, both independent Directors of the company, will serve on the committee.
The decision to form the committee comes in response to the widespread circulation of misinformation, market rumors, and speculation, which have contributed to negative public sentiment about the company. This negative sentiment has resulted in a decline in investor wealth, prompting the Board of Directors to take proactive measures.

Merger With Sony Pictures Network(SPN)
In recent weeks, Zee Entertainment’s stock has faced significant volatility, particularly following the termination of a proposed merger deal with Japan’s Sony. Despite efforts to extend the closing period, Sony ultimately decided to scrap the deal, citing failure to meet closing conditions. This development led to a decline in Zee’s stock price, prompting further scrutiny from investors.
Following the termination of the merger deal, both Zee Entertainment and Sony Group have initiated legal proceedings. Sony has initiated arbitration proceedings before The Singapore Arbitration Center (SIAC), seeking a termination fee of $90 million. In response, Zee Entertainment has filed a petition before the Mumbai bench of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), seeking enforcement of the failed merger scheme.
The establishment of the independent advisory committee underscores Zee Entertainment’s commitment to addressing shareholder concerns and restoring confidence in the company. With experienced professionals like Justice Satish Chandra at the helm, the committee is well-positioned to navigate the challenges ahead and work towards a positive outcome for all stakeholders.
