EUROPACORP, and the partners FRONT LINE and EUROMEDIA, sell their shares in Studios de Paris to EAGLE PICTURES FRANCE, a company controlled by Tarak BEN AMMAR, historical partner of Studios de Paris.
These 9 studios with a total surface area of 9,725 m2 will benefit from the synergies offered by EAGLE PICTURES, an Italian film production and distribution company. They will thus continue to represent a center of excellence for the French film industry and be an attractive factor for the entire sector.
The enterprise value retained for the transaction is €33 million and allows for the repayment of all debts owed to the selling partners and the payment of shares for a total amount of approximately €5 million, to be distributed in proportion to the amount of capital held.
