ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE
ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE is a German Societas Europaea (SE) registered with the Munich Local Court (Amtsgericht München) under registration number HRB 219439, with its registered office in Unterföhring, Bavaria. Registry extracts reviewed for this profile show the entity’s current status as active. The legal entity traces back to ProSiebenSat.1 Media AG, formed in 2000 through the merger of ProSieben Media AG and SAT.1 Holding GmbH; the AG was converted into its current SE legal form on 7 July 2015, according to a Munich Handelsregister filing extract. An active registry status confirms that the company remains formally registered; it does not by itself indicate that the company is currently trading, solvent or compliant with any particular regulatory regime.
ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE operates as the parent entity of a German-headquartered entertainment group active in free-to-air television broadcasting, digital streaming, content production and a number of diversified digital businesses. Its broadcasting portfolio includes the channels SAT.1, ProSieben, kabel eins and sixx, distributed primarily across Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Joyn, the group’s streaming platform, offers advertising-funded and subscription video-on-demand alongside live-TV streaming. Additional reported business lines have included television and film production through Seven.One Studios and related production companies, an online dating and video business built around the ParshipMeet platforms, and, until recent divestments, e-commerce activities held through NCG – NUCOM GROUP GmbH, including the online perfumery Flaconi.
Ordinary shares of ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE (ISIN DE000PSM7770, ticker PSM) are admitted to trading on the regulated market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (Xetra) and are also listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. The company’s share capital is reported at EUR 233,000,000, divided into 233,000,000 registered no-par-value shares. The stock is currently a constituent of Deutsche Börse’s SDAX index, having previously been included in the higher-tier MDAX index.
For the 2024 financial year, ProSiebenSat.1 reported consolidated Group revenue of EUR 3,918 million and consolidated adjusted EBITDA of EUR 557 million, with a Group-wide headcount of approximately 6,212 employees, according to the company’s published 2024 Annual Report. These figures are presented on a consolidated basis for the ProSiebenSat.1 Group and should not be read as the standalone, unconsolidated results of ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE as a single legal entity.
During 2025, ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE was the subject of a voluntary public takeover offer that, following a competing acquisition proposal that was ultimately not pursued to completion, was settled on 16 September 2025 and resulted in a change of control. In October 2025, the company announced a related reorganisation of its Executive Board, including the appointment of a new Group Chief Executive Officer with effect from 21 October 2025. Further detail on the resulting shareholder base and corporate-group relationships is set out in the separate shareholder and group-structure sections of this profile.

Shareholders of ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE
As a company listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE is subject to Germany’s Securities Trading Act (WpHG) voting-rights notification regime rather than a full public shareholder register, so disclosed holdings cover only shareholders that have crossed statutory notification thresholds, not the complete shareholder base. According to the company’s investor relations disclosures, as of 31 March 2026 ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE held 0.1% of its own shares as treasury stock and 24.3% of shares were held in free float, implying that the remaining approximately 75.6% was held by disclosed major shareholders. The dominant disclosed shareholder is MFE-MediaForEurope N.V., a Netherlands-registered, Milan-listed media company, which the company’s own announcements state secured a 75.61% stake in ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE following settlement of a voluntary public takeover offer on 16 September 2025. Before that offer concluded, PPF Group N.V. (through PPF IM Ltd) had built a reported stake of up to approximately 15.7%, which it tendered in full into MFE’s offer and exited entirely in September 2025 rather than pursuing its own competing partial offer. No share-class distinctions are reported; ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE has a single class of registered ordinary shares.
Data availability
Shareholder information for this entity is classified as Major shareholders only: German and EU disclosure rules require public notification of significant voting-rights holdings in a listed company, but do not require publication of a complete shareholder register, so smaller institutional and retail holdings within the reported free float are not individually identified. No verified ultimate beneficial owner at the natural-person level was identified for this profile; MFE-MediaForEurope N.V. is itself a distinct listed company, and no complete, single-dated ownership chain from MFE-MediaForEurope N.V. to an individual person was located, so no UBO percentage is presented here.

Directors and officers of ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE
ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE has a two-tier board structure typical of a German SE, comprising a Management Board (Vorstand) and a Supervisory Board (Aufsichtsrat). According to the company’s own investor relations disclosures, the current three-member Management Board consists of Marco Giordani (Group Chief Executive Officer), Luca Poloni (Group Chief Operating Officer) and Bob Rajan (Interim Group Chief Financial Officer). The seven-member Supervisory Board is chaired by Maria Kyriacou, with Michael Eifler as Vice Chairman; other members are Leopoldo Attolico, Katharina Behrends, Thomas Ingelfinger, Simone Scettri and Simone Sole. Registry-derived officer data on file for this profile lists 65 recorded officer entries spanning appointments and resignations back to 2001, but the extract available for this profile is limited to five records, all already marked as resigned, and does not itself surface the current Management or Supervisory Board; the current-board information above is therefore taken from the company’s own published disclosures rather than the on-file registry extract. Nationality is not disclosed in any of the sources reviewed for this profile.
Recent officer changes
Marco Giordani was appointed Group Chief Executive Officer with effect from 21 October 2025, succeeding Bert Habets, who moved into a senior-advisor role to the company; the change was announced as part of a wider Executive Board reorganisation following the change of control described in the group-structure section. Bob Rajan was appointed Interim Group Chief Financial Officer in the same October 2025 reorganisation, succeeding Martin Mildner. Michael Eifler and Simone Sole were appointed to the Supervisory Board by court order effective 8 and 9 October 2025 respectively, each to serve until the close of the 2029 Annual General Meeting.
Data availability
Officer information for this entity is classified as Partial: the on-file registry extract is limited to a small, historical sample of a much larger recorded set and does not reflect the current board, while current Management and Supervisory Board composition has been supplemented from the company’s own investor relations pages as of the retrieval date below. Nationality and country of residence are not disclosed in any source reviewed for this profile.

Group Structure
Group structure of ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE
ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE is not an independently controlled listed company. Following settlement of a voluntary public takeover offer on 16 September 2025, the company’s own announcements confirm that MFE-MediaForEurope N.V. holds 75.61% of ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE’s share capital and voting rights, making MFE-MediaForEurope N.V. the verified immediate parent. MFE-MediaForEurope N.V. is itself a separately listed company (principally traded in Milan); this profile does not independently verify any further, higher-level parent above MFE-MediaForEurope N.V., so no ultimate parent beyond MFE-MediaForEurope N.V. is confirmed here. Internal corporate-linkage data reviewed for this profile associates ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE with a large number of operating and holding subsidiaries organised beneath intermediate entities such as Seven.One Entertainment Group GmbH (broadcasting, production and advertising sales, including Seven.One Studios and Studio71), ParshipMeet Holding GmbH (online dating and social platforms, including eharmony and The Meet Group entities) and, until recent divestments, NCG – NUCOM GROUP GmbH (e-commerce, including Flaconi GmbH), spanning Germany, the United States, the United Kingdom and several other countries. These subsidiary-level relationships come from internally compiled linkage data rather than a fresh registry check of each entity for this profile and are presented as unverified for this specific research pass.

Recent structural changes
MFE-MediaForEurope N.V. settled a voluntary public takeover offer for ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE on 16 September 2025, securing a 75.61% stake and a change of control, per the company’s own newsroom announcement. In the same process, PPF Group N.V. (through PPF IM Ltd), previously a major shareholder with a reported stake of up to approximately 15.7%, tendered its entire holding into MFE’s offer in late August/early September 2025 and exited as a shareholder rather than pursuing its own competing partial acquisition offer.
Data availability
Group-structure information for this entity is classified as Partial: the immediate-parent relationship with MFE-MediaForEurope N.V. is verified through the company’s own official disclosures, but the wider subsidiary network is drawn from internally compiled linkage data that was not independently re-verified against each entity’s national registry for this profile, and no ultimate parent above MFE-MediaForEurope N.V. was confirmed.
