Comcast’s NBCUniversal agreed to acquire the remaining 49 percent in Universal Studios Japan theme park it doesn’t own for $2.3 billion.
NBC bought the remaining stake from Goldman Sachs, former Universal Studios Japan Chief Executive Officer Glenn Gumpel, private-equity firm MBK Partners and U.S. hedge fund Owl Creek Asset Management. The deal values the theme park at $7.4 billion, including the assumption of net debt, according to a statement Tuesday.
