Endeavor Considers Going Private Amid Stock Surge and Strategic Review
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Deadline
Silver Lake, the largest shareholder of tech and media investor Endeavor, has announced plans to propose taking the company private. This comes after Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel revealed that the company is evaluating strategic alternatives. Silver Lake, which owns 71% of the voting power of Endeavor, stated that it firmly believes in Endeavor's business and is not interested in selling its shares to a third party or entertaining bids for its assets. Going private would be a significant shift for Endeavor, which went public earlier this year. The company's stock has been underperforming, and the strategic review aims to maximize value for shareholders.
