Posted at 25/2/2011 21:52 by cardiffian 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. - Ben Fritz |
Posted at 02/12/2010 19:15 by peel green no problem with Herr A being on board as a NED as Syntek have a big stake that needs board representation; however the lack of independent NEDS indicates that a voice supporting small or third-party investors (and, very unlikely - corporate investors, such as City funds) is not at all welcome. Ah well, no-more from me for a while, unless miracles happen. |
Posted at 12/10/2010 08:12 by diesel if the rise we have now holds we are appear to have broken out of the lows held all year. Now while very few investors will be in profit yet, many may have told themselves that with any recovery they will sell and move on. Although this has risen over 100% in less than a month there is little appetite to sell, is this a sign that there is renewed confidence?Although there was little in the AGM trading statement to cheer investors there have been a few good deals of late. |
Posted at 25/7/2010 20:11 by diesel fft, interesting post, don't forget that they also have a 20% stake in Phase 4, and other interests like Collins av..I totally sympathise with sscrabbles view on salaries, I think Schmidt is on over £300kwhich may have been almost acceptable when the company was worth 20x present value, I guess salaries never go backwards we can only hope that again there will be no bonuses. The future...well I think if we assume that the company is now stable and can slowly reduce debt and end the year flat or slight profit then I think this is way undervalued, but who is going to buy into this present story? The management are hardly selling a rosy short/medium term, and the debt and pref shareholders weigh heavily. The strategy is probably right but the lack of delivery is disappointing. Collins av esp. seems to have started with a bit of a damp squid. I'm still holding what I have left but my fear over the short term is either some sneaky management buyout or that any improvement will be seen by long suffering investors as an opportunity to jump ship so wiping out any gain. |
Posted at 22/7/2010 18:50 by diesel Looks to me that the Library, is worth about the same as the debt and pref shareholders dues. Therefore the value of the company is on the added value they can bring.While not inamoured with the performance of CFL or the management pay structured, the results do show that progress has been made to stop the losses and show a small profit, plus the paying down of some of the debt. If they can reduce the debt further this will not onl increase the value of the company but improve profits from reduced interest charges, this has to be their top priority. I am not sure where the share price should be at present , I would have expected a slightly better response to the raw numbers, but the managemet statements gave no sign of optimism to future earnings, so unlikely to attract too many new investors. |

Posted at 06/5/2010 13:26 by diesel sscrabble...send them an email, maybe if they get a few from investors it will provoke a response...Cardif...good to see you back in action, thanks for the info, maybe it's having an effect someone has just bought 200k shares, not that that represents much in monetary terms, but it is the first big buy for months. |
Posted at 27/4/2010 14:21 by cardiffian Still here diesel.I just can't be bothered posting anything anymore, maybe when the results are finally out, I'll recover some of my lost enthusiasm. As far as us getting an IMS before the results, I wouldn't hold my breath, if I were you. They had their chance prior to year end and they...intentionally or otherwise...decided to leave us all in the dark. I keep wondering whether there might be a connection between the company's on-going silence and the dripfeeder but as we're now in a closed period, is it at all possible for say Syntek via a broker still working through a sell order to still be selling ??????? or does that contravene a regulation. Pure speculation on my part of course, probably no connection whatsoever, I guess time will tell. sscrabble...I know just how you feel, I too am losing a packet. I'm too ashamed to say how much. Let's just say if it had been a couple of thousand, I would have written it off and moved on. Instead I have to sit here twiddling my thumbs, waiting for the bod to encourage new investors...private or instis..into this company and thereby lifting the share price What a sad state of affairs !!! |
Posted at 25/3/2010 14:17 by cardiffian I notice at the bottom of the 'press release' it has the name 'The Lippin Group'...an industry PR company...which in itself is no bad thing - announcing to the industry the deals CFL attain, it's surely good to advertise one's experience and success but at what expense ? I bet they're not cheap ! Would it not be more financially prudent to pay RNS and thereby advertise your deals to everybody including us mere shareholders and any potential investors.But then wdik. Maybe they're just testing the waters with 'Lippin'. I've not noticed the name before. |
Posted at 13/3/2010 12:03 by diesel Thanks Cardi...your posts keep this thrread alive even though the share price has flatlined.PG.. as for Allumination, well it was alluminating! seems to me that most of the problems there and here are down to the way this industry operates. There's this feeling that running the business for profits is secondary to the "luvvies" approach of titles (Presidents, VP's) reputations (industry veterans), attending festivals etc..and general empire building. Allumination brought us McCluggage and Sagansky who managed to get 15% of the stock, and what have they done since? Fortunately most of my investments are in oils and mining companies, small investment here which may be liquidated following next statement, maybe a couple of weeks time. Good luck fellow disappointed investors. |
