EQT Consortium Offers €1.5B Takeover Bid for Believe
A consortium consisting of EQT, Denis Ladegaillerie, and TCV has launched a $1.64 billion takeover bid for Believe, a music company. The consortium has secured agreements to acquire around 75% of Believe and plans to make a cash tender offer for the remaining 25%. If the acquisition is approved, the consortium aims to re-privatize the company and consolidate the independent music market. Believe is set to announce its fiscal results for 2023 in March and expects organic revenue growth of 14% YoY and an adjusted EBITDA margin slightly above 5.5% for the year.
