Simon Cowell’s Syco Entertainment has struck a deal worth $125M for the securitization of the Got Talent franchise. The agreement, billed by advisor ACF as “the first of its kind” and “groundbreaking,” securitizes the intellectual property behind Got Talent, including the U.S., UK and international versions of the format, which is in 72 territories worldwide.

In effect, production margins and fees, digital income, franchise and original content sales and sponsorship income have been pooled as securities.
