Reed International has today confirmed that it is in discussionwith the three other principle shareholders in BSB Holdings – Pearson , Chargeurs and Granada – with a view to selling them its indirect 4% interest in BSkyB. The negotiations have arisen in connection with the re-financing of the £450m Guaranteed Loan Facility which certain of the shareholders have been supporting since 1990.
