AC Milan
THE COMPANY
In August 2022, RedBird acquired AC Milan, the professional football club in Milan. Founded in 1899, the Club is one of the most historic and decorated clubs in European football. With an estimated 625+ million fans worldwide, the Club has collected the second most European trophies in all of football and the second most domestic trophies of any Italian club over its 125+ year history.
OUR IMPACT
RedBird views AC Milan as more than just a professional European football team; it is a live entertainment business built around world-class IP. Under RedBird’s ownership, AC Milan has continued to build a world-class professional football team and execute on sporting ambitions underpinned by data analytics. Since RedBird’s acquisition in 2022, the team has qualified for Champions League for three consecutive seasons (2022-2023 through 2024-2025).
RedBird continues to apply its operational expertise across sponsorship, fan engagement, merchandise, and media strategy to drive sustainable long-term growth and further strengthen the Club’s commercial platform.
Notably, in November 2025, AC Milan and Inter Milan closed on their acquisition of San Siro stadium. This marks an important development for both Clubs, who will move forward with the project to construct a new, modern stadium with joint ownership by AC Milan and Inter Milan. Once completed, the new stadium is expected to drive increased matchday revenue, new commercial and sponsorship opportunities, and serve as a key live entertainment venue in Milan.
While many European teams operate at a loss and trade players to cover shortfalls, AC Milan continues to generate positive operating cashflow under RedBird’s ownership, re-investing in the Club across the First Team, AC Milan Academy, AC Milan women’s teams, and the overall fan experience.

THE PARTNERSHIP
On Location Experiences (“OLE”) is a premium ticketing, live event entertainment programming and data analytics platform, anchored by long-term partnerships with rights holders in sports and entertainment. RedBird created the Company in partnership with the NFL and its 32 team owners in April 2015 to capitalize on the value of the Super Bowl experience, and grew the business to serve other iconic events including the NCAA Final Four, the Masters, and over 200 other sports, music and entertainment events.
OUR IMPACT
Over a four-year period, OLE grew from three employees to more than 500 employees, becoming one of the premiere live event experiential businesses worldwide. During our ownership period, RedBird negotiated a 15-year license to operate hospitality and ticketing at the NFL’s marquee events (e.g., Super Bowl, Draft, International Series Games). The contractual arrangement and “must-have” nature of these assets created strong downside protection with significant upside potential. Over time, OLE expanded to 200+ live event partnerships and executed four acquisitions with $10mm+ of synergies.
In January 2020, RedBird sold its ownership in OLE to Endeavor.
Our partnerships with owners of the world’s most iconic intellectual property allow us to scale platforms and build sustainable, cash flow-oriented businesses across the media and entertainment ecosystem.

Investment Date:

Website:
THE PARTNERSHIP
In November 2019, RedBird invested in Skydance Media, in partnership with the Ellison Family, Tencent and CJ Entertainment. Skydance was a diversified content-production studio founded by David Ellison in 2010 to create high-quality entertainment for global audiences across its feature film, television, interactive, animation and sports divisions. The studio is responsible for producing several of the most valuable film franchises such as Top Gun, Mission: Impossible, Terminator, Star Trek, Jack Ryan, and Jack Reacher.
In August 2025, Skydance Media and Paramount Global completed their merger, creating a premier standalone global and media and entertainment company, Paramount Skydance Corporation. The merger followed the signing of a definitive agreement in July 2024 by the Ellison Family and RedBird to invest over $8 billion in Paramount Global and to acquire National Amusements, Inc., the controlling shareholder of Paramount Global.
The close of this transaction positions Paramount to forge a new path forward in the entertainment industry, combining its extensive creative library and global distribution network with Skydance’s production expertise and industry-leading technological capabilities.
Our investment in Paramount Skydance and our Firm’s long-term partnership with the Ellison family reflects RedBird’s deep conviction in the value of world-class intellectual property and the potential to unlock substantial growth as these businesses navigate technological disintermediation and evolving consumer preferences. Supported by RedBird’s business building and financial acumen, Paramount Skydance will rely on best-in-class leadership and tech-enabled innovation to revitalize and position one of entertainment’s most storied enterprises for long-term success.
OUR IMPACT
Since our investment in 2019, RedBird has worked closely with Skydance management to support strategic reviews and diligence processes for M&A and corporate development opportunities.
RedBird was instrumental in creating Skydance Sports, the premier global multi-sports production studio owned jointly by the NFL and Skydance Media. Skydance Sports partnered with RedBird portfolio company Artists Equity to co-produce “Air,” the highly successful film about the Air Jordan story.
RedBird advised and invested in Skydance’s merger with Paramount Global, which was completed in August 2025. Additionally, RedBird operating professionals have taken on key roles in Paramount Skydance Corporation to support the company’s growth strategy.
EverPass
THE PARTNERSHIP
In partnership with the NFL, RedBird launched EverPass to aggregate sports rights, expand reach of sports programming, and provide an IP-based distribution solution and content management system. Anchored by NFL Sunday Ticket (NFLST) and Peacock Sports Pass, EverPass facilitates the seamless broadcast and viewing of premium live events across bars, restaurants, hotels, and other establishments, positioning the Company at the forefront of an evolving, global live sports distribution ecosystem.
Since then, EverPass has also signed agreements to distribute ESPN+, Apple TV’s sports programming, including Formula 1 domestically, MLS, and MLB’s Friday Night Baseball, DAZN’s FIFA Club World Cup, select UFC events, and Paramount+’s UEFA Champions League to commercial venues.
OUR IMPACT
RedBird developed the initial business plan for EverPass, identified and recruited key executives to lead the business and managed the operational launch in 2023.
In 2024, RedBird evaluated and executed the acquisition of UPshow, an on-premise entertainment and performance marketing platform that provides EverPass with a technology solution to deliver its premium sports content directly to the end customer. RedBird also facilitated the addition of TKO Group Holdings, which holds the rights to UFC and WWE content, as a strategic equity and commercial partner to EverPass in connection with the acquisition.

In June 2019, RedBird partnered with experienced insurance executive Bill Goldstein to execute a platform buy-and-build strategy within the insurance distribution space by acquiring managing general agents, managing general underwriters and specialty wholesalers to establish a diversified scale book of premiums and distribution capabilities for its carrier partners. Over a two-year period, RedBird successfully executed on this strategy, building one of the largest independent MGA platforms in the U.S.
RedBird sold Constellation to Truist in July 2021.
OUR IMPACT
RedBird was largely responsible for sourcing, diligence, and executing the M&A activity – over two years, the team evaluated 50+ add-on investments and completed nine acquisitions.
From June 2019 through December 2020, Constellation executed on strategic acquisitions that scaled the platform from $3 million to $62 million of pro forma Adj. EBITDA, representing a blended average purchase multiple of <9x and a significant discount to relevant comps (11-13x on average). In addition, RedBird engaged Parthenon to help integrate all of the acquisitions, leading to $6 million of run-rate synergies (>2x the underwritten figure).
RedBird also helped to form the President’s Council, which led to 30% organic growth in 2019 and 2020 by fostering improved cross-selling across the Company.
