Stibbe advised Barça Produccions and Barcelona Football Club
Stibbe is advising Barça Produccions and Barcelona Football Club alongside Spanish law firm Perez Llorca in relation to a business combination agreement with Mountain & Co. I Acquisition Corp. – a special acquisition company (SPAC) listed on NASDAQ – which will result in Barça Produccions becoming a company listed on NASDAQ. The transaction values the pro-forma company at approximately €1 billion.
The combination with Mountain & Co. I Acquisition Corp. will give Barça Produccions access to the US capital markets, to create a stronger platform to accelerate its multi-pronged growth strategy. FC Barcelona has the largest fan base among all professional football clubs and an exceptional brand recognition. Barça Produccions intends to capitalise on these factors and leverage strong market tailwinds, to produce original content that stimulates fan engagement and drives long-term profitable growth. FC Barcelona expects Barça Produccions to serve as an important source of revenue in the coming years and has assigned significant resources to support the business.
