Two more suitors approach SCi

Time Warner and Chinese firm show interest in Tomb Raider company

SCi Entertainment has now had three bid approaches this month, according to a report in the Times Online.

Amid speculation, shares in SCi rose by 5 per cent on Friday to 349 3/4p, valuing the company at around GBP 300 million (EUR 430.6m).

Time Warner already owns ten per cent of SCi Entertainment.
