Let the group T be the direct product of groups Si (i = 1, … r) where for a given group Ai, Si is the direct product of ni factors Ai × Ai × … × Ai. Let B be a group that has a faithful permutation representation Γi of degree ni. (i = 1, …, r). Consider G, the split extension of T by B defined by letting B act on T as follows.

Each Si is normal in G. If and bB then where . It is proved that if T is an M-group and all subgroups of B are M-groups, then G is an M-group. This is a generalisation of a result of Gary M. Seitz, Math. Z. 110 (1969), 101–122, who proved the particular case where r = 1 and Γ1 is the regular representation of B.
