Canal+ SA to acquire UGC

Canal+ SA has agreed to acquire a minority stake in UGC, a French cinema operator, in a transaction announced and completed on 7 November 2025. The deal involves the French media group taking a non-controlling interest in the target business, which operates within the French cinema sector. No specific financial value or consideration type was disclosed in the available information regarding the terms of this investment. The transaction was finalised on the same day it was announced, indicating a swift execution of the agreement between the parties involved.
