Why? Because the other 50% stake in SLEC, owned by EM. TV, a debt- ridden
German media company, is up for sale. EM. TV badly needs to sell this stake in the near future to keep its bankers at bay. The uncertainty created by the dispute between Mr. Ecclestone and Mr. Mosley might depress the value of EM. TV\\'s holding. Could that work to Mr. Ecclestone\\'s advantage? Quite possibly. The lower the value of EM. TV\\'s stake, the higher the relative value of an option Mr. Ecclestone holds to sell a further 25% of SLEC to EM. TV for around $1 billion--and the better the deal Mr. Ecclestone might be able to extract for surrendering the option. Whoever buys EM. TV\\'s stake in SLEC will have to negotiate with Mr. Ecclestone over this instrument. The Economist understands that Mr. Ecclestone has the right to veto a plan proposed last December by Kirch, a privately owned German media group, to buy half of EM. TV\\'s holding for $550m.
In the coming weeks, Mr. Ecclestone will doubtless be deploying his formidable negotiating skills to best advantage. It would be rash to bet against his securing a good deal out of EM. TV\\'s difficulties. His dispute with the FIA may then be easily resolved. As usual, he holds all the cards. 36.
