「陳國強、王雪紅及普羅維登斯行政總裁尼爾森（Jonathan Nelson），將被推選加入TVB 董事會，而現任管理層將保持不變，包括主席邵逸夫、副行政主席梁乃鵬與副主席兼董事總經理方逸華等。」

此事甚有意思。

一箭三鵰！ 王雪紅入主香港TVB●經濟日報（2011.01.27）

宏達電暨威盛董事長王雪紅入主香港老牌無線電視台TVB。香港傳媒集團電視廣播（TVB）昨（26）日晚間9時公告，公司大股東邵氏兄弟公司所擁有的26%股權，將全數售給王雪紅參與的投資集團，該集團將成為TVB最大股東。

王雪紅買下原股東邵逸夫手中持股，電視業同業聞訊大呼這是「一箭三鵰」的好策略，王雪紅將立足香港，持有台灣TVBS，更可跨足大陸市場，搶占大中華區華人內容商機。

王雪紅昨（26）日透過宏達電、威盛發言管道表示，在交易案未完成前，不方便對該案表示任何評論。據瞭解，因該筆交易尚未完成，要等到3月底才會塵埃落定，屆時威盛集團將對外說明。

根據電視廣播的公告，買下TVB的投資集團是由香港上市公司德祥企業主席陳國強為首，合夥人還有王雪紅、美國私募基金普羅維登斯（Providence Equity Partners）。該投資集團昨天與邵氏兄弟簽定協議，相關出售事宜今年3月31日完成。

根據公告，邵氏兄弟共出售電視廣播逾1.1億股，若依TVB昨天收盤價港幣45.9元（約新台幣171.2元）計算，交易規模起碼有港幣52.27億元（約新台幣195億元），TVB昨天股價上漲2.91%。但有消息傳說，這筆交易高達港幣90億元（約新台幣336億元），其中約半數金額將由台灣方面進行融資。

電視廣播昨晚也發表聲明，陳國強、王雪紅及普羅維登斯行政總裁尼爾森（Jonathan Nelson），將被推選加入TVB 董事會，而現任管理層將保持不變，包括主席邵逸夫、副行政主席梁乃鵬與副主席兼董事總經理方逸華等。

電視廣播大股東邵氏兄弟掌門人邵逸夫出售股權消息早在去年9月就傳出，但王雪紅與陳國強從來不是檯面上的買主。

香港明報指出，陳國強擅長收購空殼公司，注入資產並尋覓買家以較高價出售，有「殼王」之稱。他曾持有的上市公司高達15間。

據電視廣播公告，持有電視廣播6.23%的邵氏基金將在3月底把部分股權出售給獨立第三者，屆時邵氏基金與王雪紅參與的投資集團，加上方逸華，將持有電視廣播30%股權。
