KKR斥資10億美元收購體育投資商Arctos




KKR斥資約10億美元收購體育投資公司Arctos,彭博新聞報導

全球投資公司KKR已同意收購專注於體育領域的私募股權公司Arctos Partners,此交易令Arctos估值約達10億美元,據彭博新聞週二引述知情人士報導。

Arctos是一個專注於職業體育俱樂部的投資平台,持有美國多個主要聯賽球隊的股份,包括國家籃球協會(NBA)、美國職棒大聯盟(MLB)、國家冰球聯盟(NHL)及美國職業足球大聯盟(MLS)等。

報導指出,此筆交易還包括對Arctos高層管理人員的激勵計劃,其中包括共同創辦人Ian Charles,這些激勵措施有可能將估值推高至約15億美元。

根據協議,Charles將繼續擔任該業務的負責人,並和其他Arctos高層一同獲得這家紐約收購巨頭KKR的股份。

雙方目前正尋求美國主要職業體育聯賽的批准,以完成此交易。

聯賽對交易的批准取決於多項條件,包括審查以避免涉及運動員的利益衝突,例如是否會影響運動員為KKR旗下企業代言等問題。

KKR計劃利用其資產負債表資金完成收購,並將Arctos整合到其資產管理業務中。

目前KKR方面對此事未作回應,而Arctos亦未立即回覆路透社的置評請求。

評論與啟示:

KKR此舉反映出大型私募股權公司正積極拓展體育產業的投資版圖,體育產業不僅是娛樂和文化的重要組成部分,更蘊含龐大且持續增長的商業價值。Arctos專注於持有職業球隊股權,這類資產通常具備較高的穩定性與增值潛力,尤其在全球體育市場持續擴張及媒體版權價值上升的背景下更是如此。

交易中提及的估值激勵及聯賽審批條件,也反映出體育投資的複雜性,尤其在利益衝突和品牌形象維護方面,必須謹慎處理。這說明未來體育與金融資本的結合將更為緊密,但同時也面臨更多監管與商業道德的挑戰。

對香港及亞洲市場來說,這類投資趨勢值得密切關注。亞洲體育市場正在快速發展,尤其是足球和籃球等項目,投資機構如KKR若能將其全球資源和經驗引入亞洲,或可催生更多跨地域的體育投資合作機會。

此外,KKR透過收購專業體育投資平台,整合資產管理業務,顯示出私募股權公司正尋求多元化投資組合,以分散風險及提升長期回報。對投資者而言,了解這些大型機構如何布局體育產業,將有助於把握未來資本市場的新動向。

總括而言,這筆交易不僅是金融界對體育產業信心的體現,也是體育市場商業化和資本化進程中的一個重要里程碑,值得投資者和業內人士深入研究。

A whimsical, artistic scene set in a classic Hong Kong cha chaan teng (茶餐廳): A charming cat sits comfortably at a small table, elegantly sipping a traditional Hong Kong-style milk tea from a delicate glass. The cat's fur is soft and expressive, and its posture is relaxed yet attentive, suggesting it is a regular at the tea shop. The restaurant interior is bustling yet cozy, adorned with retro posters, old ceiling fans, patterned floor tiles, and Formica tables reflecting the local culture. Sunlight streams through the window, casting warm highlights on the cat and creating a vivid play of shadows. Details include steaming milk tea cups, egg tarts and pineapple buns on the table, and waiters in classic uniforms moving in the background. The overall color palette is rich and atmospheric, blending nostalgia with the lively charm of Hong Kong. Drone photo near Christ the Redeemer in Rio.
