Abu Dhabi-backed RedBird IMI has completed its acquisition of UK media company <\/strong>All3Media<\/a><\/strong> from Warner Bros and Liberty <\/strong>for GBP 1.5 bn, according to a statement<\/a>. The acquisition was approved by regulators in the US, UK, and Germany. RedBird IMI head and former CNN Global President Jeff Zucker will now chair All3Media's board, with group CEO Jane Turton and COO Sara Geater retaining their roles.<\/p>\n

REFRESHER-<\/strong> RedBird IMI finalized an agreement to acquire All3Media from Warner Bros and Liberty earlier in February<\/a>.

About All3Media: <\/strong>All3Media is the largest independent production company in the UK, with 50 production labels and a distribution catalog of over 30k hours under its management. The company has a global presence in the UK, US, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, and New Zealand, and produces 4k hours annually for several platforms.<\/p>\n

ADVISORS-<\/strong>RedBird Advisors<\/strong> acted as financial advisor to RedBird IMI and RedBird Capital Partners, while Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher<\/strong> acted as its legal advisor. JP Morgan<\/strong> acted as financial advisor to Warner Bros and Liberty Global, and DLA Piper<\/strong> acted as their legal advisor.<\/p>\n
