Brave Bison Group PLC (LON:BBSN) has confirmed it is in merger talks with Zinc Media Group PLC (LON:ZIN).
Confirmation of the press reports lit a fire under the share prices of both media groups.
Brave Bison, formerly known as Rightster, was up 26.3% at 1.8p, and Zinc Media, formerly known as Ten Alps, was up 13.2% at 1.16p.
Zinc Media made the approach to Brave Bison and talks are still in the preliminary stage. As per usual, there was the standard caveat that there is no guarantee a merger agreement will emerge from the talks.
