Дом Новости As of now, there is no publicly confirmed information that a major company has decided to go private following a specific "Go Private" announcement tied to a high-profile deal or event. However, if you're referring to a recent development—such as a company like Dollar General, Nvidia, or even a rumored move by Apple, Microsoft, or another tech giant—here’s a general overview of what "going private" means and why it might happen: What Does "Going Private" Mean? Going private refers to a company that was publicly traded on a stock exchange (e.g., NYSE or NASDAQ) purchasing all outstanding shares from public shareholders, delisting from the exchange, and becoming a privately owned business. Why Do Companies Go Private? Avoid Regulatory Scrutiny: Public companies face strict reporting requirements (e.g., SEC filings), which can be time-consuming and costly. Strategic Flexibility: Private companies can make long-term decisions without pressure from quarterly earnings expectations. Mergers & Acquisitions: Going private can allow management to restructure, merge, or sell off assets more easily. Management Control: Often, executives or private equity firms buy out public shareholders to take full control. Notable Examples (Recent or Historical): Dollar General (2020): Announced a $22 billion buyout by private equity firm Silver Lake, though it was later withdrawn due to regulatory concerns. ViacomCBS (2022): Split into two companies, one of which (Paramount Global) has explored going private. Texas Instruments (2023): While not going private, it has faced speculation about a potential buyout. Amazon (2023–2024): Rumors about a possible private buyout have circulated, but no action has been taken. Current Climate Private Equity Activity: In 2023–2024, private equity firms have been active in acquiring public companies, especially in tech, industrials, and consumer sectors. Market Volatility: Economic uncertainty and interest rate changes have made going private more attractive for some firms. If you’re referring to a specific company or recent news item, please provide more details (e.g., company name, date of announcement), and I can give a more accurate and up-to-date analysis. For now: 👉 No major company has officially confirmed a "go private" move in early 2024 unless you're referring to a rumored or pending transaction. Always verify through trusted sources like Bloomberg, Reuters, or the SEC’s EDGAR database. Let me know if you’d like help tracking a specific deal.

EA, по сообщениям, приближается к сделке на сумму в 50 млрд долларов с целью выхода на частный рынок, что может стать крупнейшим леверидж-выкупом в истории.

Подробности о том, что может стать историческим сдвигом для издателя, ответственного за игры Madden и Battlefield, поступили из отчета Wall Street Journal. По данным источников, в сделке участвуют частные инвестиционные фонды, включая фирму Silver Lake и государственный фонд инвестиций Саудовской Аравии (PIF). Также, по сообщениям, в сделке участвует инвестиционная фирма Affinity Partners, возглавляемая女婿ом Дональда Трампа, Джарредом Кушнером.

Если слухи подтвердятся, официальное объявление может последовать уже в понедельник. Рыночная капитализация EA составляла около 43 млрд долларов до публикации материала в Wall Street Journal. С момента появления информации о возможном переходе компании в частные руки ее стоимость выросла почти на 15%, достигнув примерно 48 млрд долларов.

Сделка на сумму 50 млрд долларов по выкупу EA из публичного рынка превысит выкуп нефтяной компании TXU в 2007 году, который составил 31,8 млрд долларов, на 18 млрд долларов. В случае завершения сделки она станет крупнейшим леверидж-выкупом в истории (без учета инфляции).

Участие PIF в сделке укрепит растущую позицию Саудовской Аравии в игровой индустрии. В настоящее время PIF владеет 10% акций EA, а в 2022 году стал одним из крупнейших акционеров Nintendo, приобретя 5,01% акций. Также ранее в этом году разработчик игры Pokémon Go Niantic сообщил, что продал свой каталог игр мобильному издателю Scopely, который принадлежит компании Savvy Games и PIF.

Ubisoft столкнулась с критикой после объявления о выходе дополнения Assassin’s Creed Mirage, действие которого разворачивается в Саудовской Аравии, в прошлом месяце. Содержание было анонсировано вскоре после публикации отчета французского издания Les Echos, в котором подробно описывалась потенциальная сделка между издателем и PIF. Согласно информации от GameFile, сотрудники Ubisoft также выразили обеспокоенность в связи с партнерством с спорным субъектом.

В то же время, Silver Lake владеет частью акций компании-разработчика игровых движков Unity. Если сделка с EA состоится, PIF, Affinity и Silver Lake станут новыми владельцами компании после ее перехода в частные руки.

В недавних релизах издателя — несколько продуктов EA Sports, включая EA Sports FC 26 и Madden NFL 26, а также Skate. В следующем месяце разработчик EA DICE запланировал релиз Battlefield 6 — выход, который ожидается ключевым моментом как для франшизы, так и для компании в целом.

IGN обратилась к EA с просьбой прокомментировать ситуацию.
