Redbox Entertainment Inc. (NASDAQ: RDBX) has announced<\/a> its acquisition by Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment.\u00a0 This acquisition will lead the company in direct-to-consumer media platform delivery for premium entertainment for value conscious consumers.\u00a0 \u201cToday marks a transformative moment for Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment and an inflection point for the ad-supported streaming industry,\u201d said William J. Rouhana Jr., chairman and chief executive officer of Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment. \u201cOur acquisition of Redbox will accelerate the scaling of our business as it combines complementary teams and services to create the streaming industry\u2019s premier independent AVOD. Redbox has 40 million customers in its loyalty program and high-potential digital television assets including carriage of over 130 FAST digital channels on its Free Live TV platform, as well as a robust TVOD and PVOD platform. Together, we will build a fully developed AVOD and FAST streaming business: proven branded streaming services, formidable content and production capabilities, and a strong AVOD and FAST ad sales operation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe believe that Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment is the ideal partner for Redbox. By joining forces, we will accelerate Redbox\u2019s transition from a physical to high growth digital media company and be the only entertainment provider truly focused on value for consumers. This all-stock transaction provides Redbox stockholders with the opportunity to participate in the significant near- and long-term upside potential of a diversified and growing company with greater scale and resources. With our footprint of more than 38,000 kiosks, diverse content libraries and combined streaming platforms, we will be well positioned to deliver consumers a wealth of high-quality entertainment options.\u201d<\/p>Galen Smith, chief executive officer of Redbox<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Rouhana continued, \u201cMore and more viewers are embracing ad-supported streaming offerings in a content environment characterized by cord-cutting and saturation of high-priced subscription services. Near term, these conditions are even more acute against a macro backdrop of rising inflation and economic uncertainty. With the combination of a large content library, digital AVOD and FAST channel capabilities, and an expanding global audience, we believe that we will be able to deliver more exciting premium entertainment for millions of value conscious viewers and drive further growth and value creation for our stockholders.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Redbox Entertainment Inc.
