Kirkland & Ellis advised Mediawan, a French audiovisual content company, on the implementation of its new €500 million term loan facility and €225 million revolving facility in the context of its combination with Leonine, one of the largest independent studios in the German-speaking market. The seven-year term loan facility was used to, amongst other things, refinance existing indebtedness of the combined group and fund future growth. The combination creates one of Europe’s premier independent studios with a global presence across 13 countries, 85 labels, a catalogue of approximately 30,000 hours of premium content and revenue exceeding €1 billion.
The Kirkland team consisted of debt finance partners Ian Barratt and Kalish Mullen, with the support of debt finance associates Toni Prskalo and Matias Versavel.
