Raúl Berdonés and Pablo Jimeno to reach 80% ownership of Grupo Secuoya

Raúl Berdonés and Pablo Jimeno, executive chair and CEO, respectively, of Grupo Secuoya, have announced a takeover bid to acquire a majority stake in the content company. Specifically, the founders of the group are announcing a takeover bid for 55% of share capital. In addition to their current take of 25%, this represents 80% of the shareholding, with a premium over the quoted share price of 55,9% and placing a value on the company value of €127.5 million.

“As of 27 June, a new era will begin for Grupo Secuoya, focused on the integration of talent, development and international distribution of exceptional stories in Spanish for a global market,”  the company said in a statement. “Secuoya reaffirms its position as the only independent international content group owned by Spanish shareholders, with the clear goal of consolidating its position as a content studio with a global reach,”  it added.

Alongside this transformation of the shareholder structure, the company will soon announce the group's business strategy for the coming years, with a firm purpose: to lead the world in Spanish-language content production. The renovation, according to the goup, is aimed at integrating the best creative talent and the most outstanding producers in the Spanish-speaking market.
