Prime Focus arm terminates business agreement with Sports Venture

17 Jun 2022 , 10:58 AM

The companies decided to break off the business combination agreement as a result of current unfavorable special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) market conditions and other factors. Alan Kestenbaum, chief executive officer and chairman of the board of Sports Ventures commented, Due to current SPAC and equity market conditions, it was mutually determined that the best option for all parties at this time is to terminate the transaction. Namit and his team are leaders in the market, producing stunning and award-winning work that swept the awards this year. DNEG has a bright future and we wish everyone there much success. Namit Malhotra, chairman and CEO of DNEG said, Due to the headwinds in the SPAC marketplace and general market volatility, we have decided to terminate our SPAC process with Sports Ventures. Alan and the team at Sports Ventures have been great partners in this process, and we wish them well as they move forward. We feel incredibly optimistic about DNEGs future and the company continues to demonstrate impressive financial results, with our highest-ever revenue growth announced earlier this week. Our strong pipeline reflects the significant demand for our industry-leading visual effects and animation services, as evidenced by our recently announced multi-year deal extension and VFX services renewal agreement with Netflix through 2025. Sports Ventures will consider other acquisition opportunities, subject to market conditions and timing. Sports Ventures Acquisition Corp. is a blank check company organized with the purpose of effecting a merger similar business combination with a major entertainment powerhouse.
