Summary
GameSquare announced a definitive agreement to acquire FanEngine's sports, music, and entertainment IP assets, including Peaky Blinders and Simon's Cat. The deal is expected to be immediately accretive and adds direct fan monetization capabilities. Management introduced 2027 guidance of over $150 million revenue and over $30 million adjusted EBITDA, a significant step-up from current levels. The transaction is structured as an asset purchase with FanEngine shareholders receiving approximately 30% equity, plus up to 10% earn-out.
