eOne: Lionsgate & Legendary Remain Among 4 Potential Buyers As Hasbro Company Sale Nears Finish Line
17.04.2023 - 22:05 / deadline.com
Here is the latest I hear on eOne. Lionsgate and Legendary (with Apollo) are still in contention to acquire a majority stake in the indie film and TV studio, which has been put up for sale. I hear there are two other suitors, private equity firm CVC Capital Partners and distributor GoDigital Media Group. Deadline reported a month ago that Fremantle also was among the bidders. According to sources, the indie is no longer pursuing eOne as the target price has climbed up beyond what they were willing to pay for the assets.
I hear the final bids are due by end of the month. Reps for Hasbro, Lionsgate, Legendary, CVC Capital and GoDigital had no comment or didn’t respond to requests for comment.
The assets that have been put up for sale by the toymaker include all scripted and unscripted TV production (except for the Family Brands division housing such staples as Peppa Pig and PJ Masks), all film production and related global distribution, as well as a 6,500-plus title content library and Hasbro’s interest in eOne’s Canadian film and TV business.
The process has been described by sources as not being very robust. Its current stage would fit into the time frame Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks provided in February.
“We expect to have an update in the second quarter,” he said at the time.
Hasbro bought eOne in 2019 for $4 billion when the company was divided into three divisions: Music, which has been sold; Family Brands, which Hasbro has rolled into its brands licensing and merchandising operation; and Film and TV. Hasbro previously sold eOne’s music business to private equity firm Blackstone in 2021 for $385 million.
The pursuit of eOne is driven largely by potential buyers’ interest in acquiring revenue and library titles.
