Disney‘s deal with 21st Century Fox is seen giving the movie and television assets an enterprise value of $60 billion, sources told CNBC.
Fox shareholders would hold 25 percent of the new Disney, the sources told CNBC. A deal could be announced as early as Thursday, as CNBC reported earlier this week. But there is not expected to be an announcement regarding the management of the new company, the sources said.
The Fox that remains after the deal is complete, including the news and sports businesses, would have earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of $2.8 billion.
