Fox completed its purchase of Roku, paying about $14.1 billion in cash and issuing about 144.5 million shares. Fox gains Roku, but the filing gives no expected business gains to weigh against the cost.
The deal gives Fox control of Roku, but it also uses cash and adds shares. The filing lists the terms, not expected savings, sales gains, or other business results. It does not show whether Roku's business makes up for the purchase cost.
Roku shareholders are entitled to about $95 in cash and about 0.98 Fox share for each share. The filing does not compare this payment with Roku's prospects or value, so it does not show a better or worse outlook for Roku.
