As of today, Burda International CZ is the only owner of Extra Online Media. We previously owned Extra Online Media through Pale Fire Capital (75%), with CEO Tomáš Kačena holding a 25% stake. Kačena will remain the CEO of EOM and will report to Petra Fundová, the CEO of Burda International CZ. Burda and Extra Online Media will continue to operate as separate entities.
Extra Online Media (EOM) was founded in 2013 and has become one of the major players in the online media sector. Its publishing portfolio reaches nearly 5 million unique users monthly. EOM includes flagship website eXtra.cz, as well as the cooking website Toprecepty.cz, women’s website Lifee.cz, and other websites such as G.cz, Extralife.cz, and OneTv.cz.
“When we founded Extra Online Media ten years ago, our goal was to create a new publishing company that would play a significant role in the media sector. By joining forces with one of the largest European publishing houses, we are now able to achieve this goal,” added Kačena. He expects further development through the “highly experienced professionals and technical know-how” at Burda.
We wish Burda success in the development of EOM under the leadership of Ms. Fundová.
