yeah i heard about that this morning
at first i thought Marvel was being stupid for selling out since they just made their own production company and they have a great line up and the idea of making the films part of the same world was a BIG FAT +
but then i heard how much they sold for rofl insane but worth it
Quote:
The acquisition, which has been approved by the boards of both companies but still must be approved by Marvel shareholders, started to come together several months ago when Disney’s chief executive, Robert A. Iger, reached out to Marvel’s chief executive, Ike Perlmutter. Talks heated up in the last two weeks, with Disney agreeing to one of Marvel’s top demands: that stock be part of the deal.
Under the deal, Marvel shareholders will receive $30 a share in cash plus about 0.745 Disney shares for each Marvel share. The deal is valued at $50 a share, a 29 percent premium on Marvel stock.
