Ten Network’s shares went into a trading halt on 13 June 2017, pending a board meeting to discuss the free-to-air broadcaster’s future after three key shareholders elected not to guarantee a new loan facility. KordaMentha is expected to be appointed as administrator following the decision by Lachlan Murdoch, Bruce Gordon and James Packer, who had guaranteed the current $A200m loan facility that expires in late 2017. Murdoch and Gordon have been touted as potential bidders for Ten if cross-media ownership laws are relaxed.
