Today Zee Entertainment Enterprises share price was trading above 17% at Rs 299.90. In September 2021, Invesco had asked the board of Zee to hold an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) as the company was not running smoothly, according to Invesco.

Invesco wanted to remove 3 directors from Zee’s board, including Punit Goenka, CEO of Zee.

However, Zee’s board did not respond to this request, after which Invesco approached the NCLT (national company law tribunal). In response to this, Zee approached the High Court.

After this, in December 2021, Zee announced the merger with Sony. Invesco wanted to hold an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) to add 6 new independent directors to the board of Zee.

But yesterday Invesco said that they will not hold this EGM because after Zee and Sony merger the board of the newly combined company will be reconstituted so that their objective of strengthening the board will be achieved.

Due to this, there was a sharp jump in the share price of Zee today.
