Bloomberg: Voodoo investors are ready to put their stake in the company up for sale

Some Voodoo owners want to get rid of the shares. Potential buyers have already received marketing documents describing the state of the French company.

Sellers are ready to start considering preliminary purchase orders in early June. There is no information about the size of the share being sold, but the entire company as a result of the transaction can be valued at $ 1.6 billion.

Who exactly wants to sell his share is unknown. Now the main stake in Voodoo is in the hands of its co-founders Alexander Yazdi and Laurent Ritter. In 2018, they sold a minority stake to one of the divisions of the Goldman Sachs Group.

There is also no specific data on who will become buyers. In April, it was reported that such majors of the gaming market as Ubisoft and Zynga were interested in the company. But now the discussions are at too early a stage to say anything specific about buyers,” writes Bloomberg.

Voodoo is now the leader of the hyper-casual niche in the mobile games market. In the first quarter of 2020 alone, its total downloads amounted to about 400 million. Many times more than any other gaming company.
