‘My Brilliant Friend’ Renewed for Season 2 at HBO
HBO and Italy’s RAI have renewed the Elena Ferrante adaptation “My Brilliant Friend” for a second season, the two companies announced on Tuesday.The Italian-language drama is set to conclude its eight-episode first season later this month, while the second outing is to be based on “The Story of a New Name,” the second book in Ferrante’s series.
“We’re thrilled that Elena Ferrante’s epic story has resonated so powerfully with viewers and critics, and we look forward to the continuing journey of Elena and Lila,” HBO programming boss Casey Bloys said in a statement.

“RAI is deeply proud of the extraordinary success of ‘My Brilliant Friend.’ It’s an important milestone that confirms our commitment to focusing on international co-production, as well as on the value of Italian talent,” said RAI CEO Fabrizio Salini.
An adaptation of the acclaimed 2012 novel of the same name, the first season of “My Brilliant Friend” is the tale of Elena Greco (Elisa Del Genio as the younger version, Margherita Mazzucco as a teenager) and the most important friend in her life. She met Raffaella Cerullo (played by Ludovica Nasti and Gaia Girace), whom she has always called Lila, in the first year of primary school in 1950.
Set in a dangerous and fascinating Naples, their story goes on to cover more than 60 years of their lives — across three additional books in the series — and explores the mystery of Lila, “Elena’s brilliant friend and – in a way – both her best friend and her worst enemy.”

“We are profoundly proud that this story will continue to captivate audiences worldwide,” adds Lorenzo Mieli, CEO of Wildside and a producer of the series, along with Mario Gianani and Domenico Procacci. “We are even prouder that this result was achieved through the creativity, vision and passionate commitment of an extraordinary [sic] talented team of Italian professionals, led by Saverio Costanzo.”
Saverio Costanzo directed all eight episodes of the first season, with story and screenplays by Ferrante, Francesco Piccolo, Laura Paolucci and Costanzo. Paolo Sorrentino and Jennifer Schuur are the executive producers.

For more than twenty years the Paley International Council Summit has brought together world dignitaries and CEOs from today’s top media and technology companies to advance the exchange of ideas and foster a sense of community. This year’s theme Rethinking the Game: Moving Media Forward in 2019 and Beyond, tackled the most vital issues facing today’s media landscape, featuring the most significant leaders in media, government, and technology.
“We were honored to return to London for very timely and informative conversations on the issues facing the global media landscape,” said Frank A. Bennack, Jr., Chairman of The Paley Center for Media and Executive Vice Chairman of Hearst. “The Paley International Council Summit is unique in providing a neutral platform to open discussions at the highest level in times of transformation, disruption, and opportunity, with leaders who have shaped the industry and its future.”
“This year’s Paley International Council Summit not only addressed the pressing issues facing the media industry, but also explored the global issues facing all organizations including safeguarding national and cyber security, maintaining trust and transparency, and developing brands that align with the core values of today’s consumers,” said Maureen J.

Ahold Delhaize announces pricing of cash tender offer for up to $350 million principal amount of its 5.70% senior notes due 2040
Zaandam, the Netherlands, December 4, 2018 - Koninklijke Ahold Delhaize N.V. (the "Company" or "Ahold Delhaize") announced today the pricing of its previously announced offer to purchase for cash up to $350,000,000 principal amount (the "Maximum Tender Amount") of its 5.70% Senior Notes due 2040 originally issued by Delhaize Group NV/SA (which entity merged into the Company effective July 24, 2016) (the "Notes"). The Company refers to its offer to purchase the Notes as the "Offer".
The Offer is being made upon the terms and is subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated November 19, 2018 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Offer to Purchase").
The "Total Consideration" for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer was determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to the fixed spread specified in the Offer to Purchase over the yield based on the bid-side price of the Reference U.S. Treasury Security specified in the Offer to Purchase. The reference yield (as determined pursuant to the Offer to Purchase) listed in the table below was calculated at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, today, December 4, 2018, by the Dealer Managers (as defined below). The Total Consideration includes an early tender premium of $50 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase by the Company. All payments for Notes purchased in connection with the Early Tender Time will also include accrued and unpaid interest from the last interest payment date for the Notes up to, but excluding, the Early Settlement Date, which is currently anticipated to be December 6, 2018.
The following table sets forth certain pricing information for the Offer:
*CUSIP/ISIN Nos.* *Title of Security* *Reference Security* *Reference Yield* *Fixed Spread (basis points)* *Total Consideration**^**(1)(2****^)* *Early Tender Premium**^**(1)****^(2)* *Tender Offer Consideration^(2)*

(1) The Total Consideration includes the Early Tender Premium.
(2) Per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes.
Although the Offer is scheduled to expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on December 17, 2018, the Company does not expect to accept for purchase any tenders of Notes after the Early Tender Time because the aggregate principal amount of Notes that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the Early Tender Time exceeded the Maximum Tender Amount.
J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Merrill Lynch International are acting as the dealer managers (the "Dealer Managers") for the Offer. The information and tender agent for the Offer (the "Information and Tender Agent") is D.F. King & Co., Inc.
Requests for documentation for the Offer should be directed to D.F. King & Co., Inc. at (866) 342-8290 (U.S. toll-free) or (212) 269-5550 (banks and brokers) or by email at AD@dfking.com.
