Freenet Nears Deal to Buy Out Minority Waipu.TV Investors

Freenet AG is reportedly nearing a deal to buy out minority investors in its TV streaming platform Waipu.TV after abandoning plans to list the business, according to people familiar with the matter. The German telecom group could announce the transaction as soon as the coming days, the sources said. Details of the proposed buyout—such as the size of the stake being acquired, valuation, or terms—were not included in the brief report. The update suggests Freenet is looking to consolidate control of Waipu.TV rather than pursue a public offering, potentially streamlining decision-making and ownership structure.
