(AACI) announced yesterday that they are possibly looking to sell. AACI's controlling shareholders, Executive Chairman Michael MacMillan and his partner Seaton McLean hold 67% of the voting rights and are looking to unload their own through their Southhill Strategy, Inc. company. The AACI Board has formed a special committee connected to the potential sale. However, if the sale of the Southhill interest does not happen, the chances of an AACI sale are unlikely. AACI is the co-producer of the CSI franchise. The fourth largest global ad agency, Paris-based Publicis Groupe SA has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Digitas Inc. for $1.3 billion in cash, $13.50 for each outstanding share. The intent of the buy according to Publicis is to sell more Internet-based advertising. Under the proposed deal, Publicis will purchase 100% of Digitas' shares of Inc. as a friendly cash tender offer. This will be Publicis' eleventh takeover so far in 2006 as part of the company's expansion plan. The buy has been approved by both companies' boards but is subject to the government's antitrust approval with an expected close sometime in January or February 2007. Korea's Hanaro Telecom has signed another VOD agreement this week with a U.S. company.
