Liberty Global, the US media and telecoms group founded by billionaire John Malone, has sold roughly half of its long-held 10% stake in ITV.
The British broadcaster has been the subject of persistent takeover rumours and has seen its share price dip by 8% to 68.5p since the news.
Liberty said it was selling about 191 million shares, worth approximately £140m at ITV’s latest closing price.
The sale, managed by BNP Paribas and Deutsche Bank, reduces the firm’s holding to around 5%.
