Audioboom has revealed that it is in takeover talks with several parties.
In October the global podcast company appointed J Goodwin & Co and Rockefeller Capital as joint financial advisers to carry out a strategic review.
They considered sourcing new investment to fund further acquisitions; undertaking a substantial acquisition or reverse takeover; a sale of either the company’s US or UK businesses; or a complete takeover.
This morning – as it also reports a rise in annual revenues and profits, and a record fourth quarter – it said it had engaged with several interested parties including global media organisations, US and European peer companies and media-focused private equity investment institutions.
“The company is [now] in discussions with a small number of parties who are considering making a cash offer for the company’s entire issued and to be issued share capital,” it stated.
“The indicative pricing of preliminary proposals received to date are at a premium to the closing price on 2nd October 2025, being the last day of trading immediately prior to the company entering into an offer period.”
