During the company’s conference call, executive chairman Steve Lacy said:
We have made significant progress and anticipate agreements to sell Time, Sports Illustrated, Fortune and Money, along with our 60% equity interest in Viant in our early fiscal 2019.
The company’s 2019 fiscal year started July 1.
In May, Keith Kelly of the New York post reported that bids for the magazines are “surprisingly strong with the Fortune/Money combo and Time drawing bids close to $200 million each.”
Meredith put the magazines up for sale in March. At that time, it said, “They have different target audiences and advertising bases, and we believe each brand is better suited for success with a new owner.”
