French group Mediawan MDW.PA announced on Monday a raft of deals, including the acquisition of Lagardere Studios, as part of a broader expansion laid out by its founders, who will also establish a new holding company for the business. Japanese power generator JERA said it has agreed with France's state-owned investment firm ADEME Investissement and French floating wind technology supplier Ideol on key terms for forming a joint venture to develop floating offshore wind farms. South Africa's Omnia Holdings OMNJ.J said it is in talks to sell its Oro Agri division as part of the chemicals and fertiliser maker's turnaround and restructuring plans. Mining and metals company Eramet ERMT.PA has put its steel unit Aubert & Duval up for sale, and the sale could attract French aerospace group Safran SAF.PA , French paper La Tribune reported on its website. Japan's Toshiba Corp 6502.T said it planned to sell its 40.2% stake in flash memory chips firm Kioxia Holdings and will return a majority of the net proceeds to shareholders.
