On top of the ten million shares that Talos has purchased, it has also acquired a warrant for up to one million more shares at €6 each. PRISA operates in the fields of education, information and entertainment through via various media formats.
Robert Brazell, Talos’ chairman who has been openly critical of traditional media companies in books and articles, said, "PRISA is the first intelligent, diversified, customer-centric, device agnostic, media group I have seen in ten years. PRISA has successfully transitioned in the new media model and will continue to dominate the modern Spanish-speaking media for the next 20 years."This PRISA partnership has moved all over our firm during the past few months," added Brazell. "It began as a strategic partnership, then migrated to our structured lending people, and finally ended up with our capital group. When our team presented the in-store media partnership, we became more interested in PRISA's core business. The more we drilled down past vision into technology and asset integration, the more we wanted to own part of this business." Source
