The two will pay around $7.51 for 11.5 million of CME&#8217;s Class A shares. CME plans to repay the loans with the proceeds from the equity subscriptions. If this takes longer than 180 days, CME has the option to sell to Time Warner and Time Warner has the right to acquired additional shares paid for with the outstanding loans.
