Bertelsmann earns 230 mln dm on AOL stake sale-paper FRANKFURT, Feb 24 (Reuters) - German media group Bertelsmann AG <BTGGga.F> has earned 230 million marks by selling a tenth of its shares in America Online (AOL) <AOL.N> via the stock market, according to a newspaper report on Wednesday. "Our profit is 230 million marks," Boersen-Zeitung newspaper quoted Bertelsmann Chief Executive Thomas Middlehoff as saying in an interview. He added that following the sale, Bertelsmann still had an AOL stake worth about two billion marks ($1.12 billion). Middelhoff also said Bertelsmann remained interested in increasing its stake in the Premiere Pay-TV channel -- currently 37.5 percent -- but that if that proved impossible, a sale or reduction of the stake was possible. The paper quoted him as saying Bertelsmann did not intend to make major acquisitions in the next two years but was always ready to seize an opportunity. Referring to the planned flotation of Barnesandnoble.com and Pixelpark, Middelhoff said Bertelsmann would retain the majority of those units. ($1=1.779 Mark) REUTERS Rtr 03:47 02-24-99
