Latham Watkins advises Fubo on merger with Disney Hulu Live TV virtual MVPD business

Fubo TV Inc. and The Walt Disney Company are teaming up to bring viewers an even better streaming experience! In a recent announcement, Fubo and Disney shared that they are joining forces to create a new virtual MVPD company by combining Disney’s Hulu + Live TV business with Fubo. This means more programming options for viewers to enjoy, all under one roof.

After the transaction is completed, Fubo will still be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, with Disney and its affiliates owning 70% of the company. Of course, there are some steps that need to be taken before everything is official, including regulatory approvals and shareholder consent, but both parties are excited about the possibilities this collaboration can bring.

Not only does this partnership mean more choices for viewers, but it also marks the end of any ongoing legal disputes between Fubo and Disney. Everything has been settled amicably, paving the way for a smooth transition.

Behind the scenes, a dedicated team from Latham & Watkins LLP has been working hard to make this collaboration a reality. Led by partners from New York, Chicago, and Orange County, along with a team of talented associates, these legal experts have been providing guidance on all aspects of the transaction, including corporate, tax, entertainment, and employment matters.

With this new venture on the horizon, both Fubo and Disney are looking forward to bringing viewers a seamless and enjoyable streaming experience. Stay tuned for more updates as this exciting partnership unfolds!
