The proposed name change seems,on the face of it,a little bizarre.Management need to continue to focus on operational matters,namely:adding new material in a cost effective manner, sweating the library assets,reducing office and management costs.Now,if they were proposing to do a share buy-back,it would have an instant effect on the share price (However,this is unlikely with the preference shares floating around.)

What has Sagansky ever done, since his name came up on the radar he's been a disaster. Why would anyone want to punt on his track record with nothing more than a wish list as a business plan ....

Sagansky ipo-ing US new venture with the intention of making media and entertainment acquisitions.

This is just 1 of a handful of articles out there.
=====================================================================

Harry Sloan and Jeff Sagansky planning IPO for media acquisition company
February 15, 2011 | 1:31 pm

Former Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer chief Harry Sloan and onetime CBS and Sony Pictures senior executive Jeff Sagansky are looking to raise at least $175 million to hunt for media and entertainment acquisitions.

Global Eagle Acquisition Corp, a new Los Angeles-based company co-founded by the two entrepreneurial media veterans, on Tuesday registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission to sell a minimum of 17.5 million shares at $10 each in an initial public offering.

According to the SEC filing, Global Eagle has not identified any acquisition assets or engaged in any talks with potential targets. However, the firm will seek to use its founders' industry experience and connections to buy 100% or a controlling interest in one or more companies in the media and entertainment arena.

Given the amount of money it is iniitally raising and the company's stated desire to have a majority stake in any acquisitions, it would not be able to pursue and sizable deals like the recent $663 million sale of Miramax to a group of private investors. However, with the economy still in a slump and many film and television libraries losing value given the slump in DVD sales, there may be less expensive and even distressed assets that Sloan and Sagansky could target.

Any company the new venture buys would then become part of a publicly traded company through Global Eagle's shares, which are expected to be traded on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board, a system for stocks not high profile enough for the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ.

The registration statement for Global Eagle represents the first public move by Sloan since he left financially troubled MGM in 2009, which recently emerged from bankruptcy under new management. Sagansky, meanwhile, already runs Winchester Capital, a private movie and television finance company based in New York. The two previously served together on the board of film and TV studio Lions Gate Entertainment.

Sloan is chairman and chief executive of Global Eagle, while Sagansky is president. James Graf, Sloan's brother-in-law who previously worked in corporate finance, is serving as chief financial officer. After the IPO, the three executives would own 18% of the company.

According to the SEC document, Global Eagle will have up to two years after its public offering to close its first acquisition. If it doesn't, the company would be required to repurchase its stock from its remaining capital.

The company has not set a date to start selling its stock.

A spokesman said Sloan could not comment. Sagansky did not respond to a request for comment.

Maybe the shareholders could come up with another name...discontent media!

[mike953] 25/2/2011 09:26

I think I'll change my name too if my net worth moves up by such a big increment!!

[diesel] 25/2/2011 08:05

So that's why business is bad and the share price is close to an all time low....brilliant idea give them all a big bonus, even better a week in Cannes at the beginning of April....

[fft] 25/2/2011 07:20

IMHO, what a waste of management time and company money. new business cards, listings pages, notepaper, company logo stuff, advertising etc etc.

Perhaps the biggest benefit to management is that all the new charts, threads, share price indicators for CMCP wont show the old CFL shambles....

[cardiffian] 25/2/2011 07:17

I also notice that ETO have proposed a placing for 8m shares at 145p...explains the recent, clearly manipulated pull-back in the share price. The cash to be used for 'a range of small, earnings enhancing acquisition opportunities'...could CFL, sorry CMCP, be on that list ?

[cardiffian] 25/2/2011 07:07

Change of name proposed...Content Media Corporation certainly sounds more impressive...but could that be a pre-cursor to something else, like a possible US listing or is it just my mind running amok ?

[cardiffian] 24/2/2011 21:34

OK so we have 'xtreme taxidermy' being produced for Animal Planet and below is the earliest article I think there is wrt the commissioned progamming for TLC -'Outrageous Kid Parties'....2 down, 1 to go.

For some reason, Collins Ave. have only just decided to add a host of linked articles on the commission. The 1st of 4 episodes aired 3 days ago.

It must have slipped thru my google searches too...ah well, better late than never.

great clip, cheers cardiffian.

For those of you who might be thinking of going to a cinema to watch 'Ironclad' next week, then perhaps you might want to avoid watching the exclusive clip on the link below.

For info only:

Although the Metrodome website has no quoted dates for release either theatrically, VOD or DVD-wise, 'Age of Heroes' apparently hits the UK cinemas on Mar 11th.

Will somebody explain to me why the juggling of the shares between Sagansky and McCluggage ? They did the exact reverse (except the daughter bit) in October !

[latics2] 14/2/2011 11:11

Director transfer to director?

[diesel] 13/2/2011 20:55

my old man is from north of the border and at 88 is still waiting to see Scotland win the 5/6 nations, I kind of hope he'll live long enough...
probably as much chance as this company has of returning to 20p!!!
