The Walt Disney Company has announced an update regarding its acquisition of NBCUniversal's 33% stake in Hulu, LLC. The transaction, initially based on a guaranteed floor value of $27.5 billion, has now been adjusted following a contractual appraisal process. Disney will pay an additional $438.7 million to NBCU, on top of the $8.6 billion already paid in December 2023. This adjustment results from the final equity fair value determined by a third appraiser. The acquisition is scheduled to close on or before July 24, 2025. CEO Robert A. Iger expressed satisfaction with the resolution, highlighting the integration of Hulu's content with Disney+ and ESPN's direct-to-consumer offerings as a significant benefit for consumers.
