Sony to Lift Stake in Peanuts to 80% With CA$630 Million Deal

MT Newswires Live08:18

Sony Group (TYO:6758) unit Sony Music Entertainment (Japan) and Sony Pictures Entertainment said they have agreed to buy WildBrain's roughly 41% stake in Peanuts Holdings LLC for CA$630 million, lifting Sony's indirect holding in the Peanuts business to 80%, according to a Friday filing on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

Following completion, Peanuts Holdings will become a consolidated Sony subsidiary, with the Schulz family retaining the remaining 20%. Sony Music will lead management of the business alongside Sony Pictures.

Sony said it expects to book a remeasurement gain on its existing 39% interest once the deal closes.
