VIDEO SECTOR LEADS ACTIVITY IN APRIL – DISNEY INVESTS IN HULU
ACTIVITY SLOWED IN APRIL – SLOWEST MONTH IN 2009 The month of April saw 21 financings totall ing $144.5 mil lion, with not enough transactions (volume and size) to boost levels above any month in 2009. In perspective, February and March closed off at $185.5 mm and $159.5 mil lion, respectively. On a much more positive note, we saw the announcement from Disney taking a signif icant posit ion in Hulu - a strategic move in Web-TV distribution. This brings together three of the biggest broadcast and cable network owners under the same banner. Additionally, we would l ike to highlight that from a sector perspective, video saw the most amount of capital raised at $75.4 mil lion (Figure 4) over a 3-month period. Is this an indication of things to come?
