Inspired Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ:INSE), a global B2B provider of gaming content, technology, and services, announced that it has signed a definitive agreement with GENDA Inc. (TSE: 9166), an international entertainment company, for the sale of its UK holiday parks business and associated leisure assets held under Indigo NewCo Limited. The deal is valued at approximately £18.6 million (AUD 37.2 million / USD 25.1 million) in cash, subject to customary adjustments and closing conditions.

Transaction Details

The agreement covers Inspired’s operations involving more than 11,000 amusement and gaming machines located across approximately 170 family entertainment centers and adult gaming centers in UK holiday parks and entertainment venues. These activities are currently reported under Inspired’s Leisure segment.

Following the transaction, Inspired will continue to support Indigo NewCo Limited through the provision of gaming content and platform services, generating recurring revenue and enhancing long-term collaboration between the two companies.

Strategic Rationale

According to Inspired’s Executive Chairman, Lorne Weil, the divestment supports the company’s ongoing shift towards a more digital and scalable business model, with a higher proportion of EBITDA derived from digital operations. Weil noted that the move is expected to improve Inspired’s overall EBITDA margin while streamlining operations into a more flexible, less capital-intensive structure.

 

Financial and Advisory Aspects

The £18.6 million (AUD 37.2 million) in net proceeds from the sale will primarily be applied toward debt reduction, strengthening Inspired’s balance sheet and enhancing financial flexibility.

Global Leisure Partners acted as exclusive financial advisor to Inspired, while Brown Gibbons Lang & Company advised GENDA. Legal counsel was provided by Hugh James for Inspired and Hill Dickinson for GENDA.

Closing Timeline

The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025, pending regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.
