Final Order Approving Plan of Arrangement
Entertainment One announces that it has obtained a final order
from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List)
approving its previously announced statutory plan of arrangement
(the "Arrangement") under section 192 of the Canada Business
Corporations Act pursuant to which an affiliate of Hasbro, Inc.
will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of
Entertainment One for GBP5.60 per share in cash. Receipt of the
final order follows the special meeting of Entertainment One
shareholders held on 17 October 2019, at which the Company's
shareholders approved the Arrangement by special resolution.
The transaction remains subject to receipt of certain regulatory
approvals and other customary closing conditions. The transaction
has received several regulatory approvals so far, including early
termination of the waiting period under the Hart Scott Rodino
Antitrust Improvements Act in the U.S. and antitrust approval in
Germany. The transaction is expected to close during the fourth
quarter of 2019.
