Lionsgate Studios Reportedly Attracts Takeover Interest from Bollore and Banijay Lionsgate Studios Corp. (NYSE:LION) the entertainment company behind the "Hunger Games" and "John Wick" franchises, is exploring a sale and has attracted takeover interest from Bolloré SE (ENXTPA:BOL), as consolidation accelerates across the media industry, three people familiar with the matter said. The company, which has a market value of about $3.8 billion, has been working with an investment bank to evaluate inbound approaches, the sources said, requesting anonymity because the discussions are confidential. Sources warn a deal is not certain, and Lionsgate could still remain independent. Banijay Group N.V. (ENXTAM:BNJ), the television production company behind hits such as "Big Brother" and "Survivor" that earlier this year completed its merger with All3Media, is among other suitors that have considered a bid for Lionsgate Studios, two of the people said. A bid from Banijay may take time as the company remains focused on integrating All3Media, another source added. Bollore wants to bolster the production capabilities of Canal+, the pay-TV company in which it holds a controlling interest. Lionsgate and Banijay declined to comment. Bollore did not respond to a request for comment made outside of business hours. Shares in Lionsgate jumped as much as 9% in after-hours trading following the report by Reuters on possible takeover interest. The interest reflects a broader push by European media companies to build scale and secure sought-after intellectual property as they compete with global streaming giants. Lionsgate Studios owns a catalogue of films and television series that includes "The Twilight Saga" franchises and the recent Michael Jackson biopic "Michael," which grossed more than $1 billion at the box office. The discussions come as Lionsgate director and shareholder Mark Rachesky earlier this month transferred the roughly 10% stake he holds through his private equity fund into a newly created investment vehicle backed by RenWave Kore, according to a securities filing. RenWave Kore, founded in 2024 by Cody Kittle, a former portfolio manager at activist investor Elliott Investment Management, is backed by Sequoia Heritage. The valuation sought by shareholders could make it difficult for bidders to reach an agreement, two of the sources said. One of them added that previous interested parties walked away because of price expectations. Investors are paying 26 times expected pretax profit for shares in Lionsgate, according to LSEG data, a premium to peer companies. 실시간 뉴스 • Jul 11
Banijay Group Completes Merger With All3Media Forming Leading Global Production Giant Banijay Group and RedBird IMI have completed the merger of Banijay Entertainment and All3Media, creating what is described as the world’s largest independent production company, headquartered in London with operations across 25 territories.
The combined Banijay Entertainment will be led by Jeff Zucker as Chairman, Marco Bassetti as CEO and Jane Turton as Deputy CEO, bringing together senior leadership from both legacy businesses under a single structure.

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of Dutch stocks, typically moving 4.8% a week.

Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (2.8x net interest cover). Minor Risks Negative equity (-€4.2m).

FL Entertainment N.V. Creates 'Banijay Events' & Appoints François De Brugada as CEO FL Entertainment announced the creation of “Banijay Events”, a live events offering which will capitalise on the company’s expertise and success in content production, as well as expand its capabilities within the wider entertainment industry. The newly developed offering will be led by current Chief Executive Officer of Banijay France, François de Brugada. This announcement follows FL Entertainment’s recent new ventures – an investment into The Independents, and the acquisition of Balich Wonder Studio by Banijay. These investments in the events business, combined with the creation of Banijay Events, showcase FL Entertainment’s ambition to become a global leader in the production of live events. The new offering will sit as part of FL Entertainment’s leading global content production and distribution operations, led by Banijay’s Chief Executive Officer, Marco Bassetti. This strategic initiative is based on the assessment that the live events production industry has significant growth potential. It remains largely unconsolidated and has a business model very similar to that of content production and distribution, on which media and entertainment powerhouse, Banijay, was built. Banijay reached €3.2 billion in revenues for 2022, proving the strength of its long-term creative strategy and approach, on which FL Entertainment will further capitalise. Brugada has served as CEO of Banijay France since 2015, building an ecosystem of the best talents, labels and IP, firmly positioning the group as the country’s undisputed production leader. Having gathered a local holding currently comprising more than 15 production labels, Brugada was responsible for nurturing a local catalogue of almost 3,000 hours of diverse, premium content each year, a portfolio that has continued to evolve and prosper under his guidance. Having first joined Banijay at its inception in 2008 as EVP for Content, Brugada was then appointed Chief Operating Officer, partnering closely with Chairman, Stéphane Courbit, to support the organisation’s initial international expansion ambitions across France, Spain, the US, Nordics, Germany and Australia. In this position, he also initiated internal cross-territory format sharing and helped develop and position the organisation’s worldwide brand. Evolving and executing the group’s dedicated strategy, Brugada will be tasked with growing this part of the business, developing synergies with the rest of the group, and identifying additional companies to build its dedicated portfolio. Recruitment is currently underway to find a replacement CEO for Banijay France, with Brugada remaining in place until at least September, to ensure a smooth and effective transition period.
