The most recent information from NINE/Fairfax is that they will continue to manage distribution of ACM and IPS titles until at least 30 June 2020.

What is unclear at this stage is whether ACM and IPS propose to alter contractual and remuneration arrangements down the track. If either ACM or IPS want to make their own distribution arrangements separate to NINE/Fairfax prior to 30 June 2020, it is likely NINE/Fairfax will facilitate an early exit from proposed arrangements for either ACM and/or IPS.
