Los Angeles, CA (June 18, 2025) — In a strategic evolution of its business, New Regency has entered into a long-term partnership with Shamrock Capital, a Los Angeles-based investment firm specializing in media, entertainment, communications, and related sectors. As part of this partnership, Shamrock’s Content Strategy acquired a participation in the New Regency film and television library cash flows. This industry groundbreaking transaction establishes a dedicated and forward-looking capital structure around the company’s celebrated film and television library, carefully curated over 35 years.

In parallel, a standalone production credit facility was entered into by New Regency’s production arm to borrow in connection with new film, television, and media projects—including building on its past IP to create innovative content, alongside a new credit facility supporting its library. These credit facilities are provided by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and a strong syndicate of leading entertainment banks. The partnership with Shamrock relates solely to the New Regency library participation and will not be used to fund the production arm.

Known for its creative independence and entrepreneurial spirit, New Regency is uniquely positioned to execute a transaction of this kind—one that enables the company to continue building its future while preserving the strength, integrity, and global relevance of its past. Its partnership with Shamrock ensures long-term value and flexibility for New Regency’s iconic library, which includes Academy Award®-winning titles such as The Revenant, Birdman, and 12 Years a Slave. At the same time, New Regency will continue its expansion across storytelling platforms including documentary, interactive gaming, live theatre, and publishing. Upcoming feature projects include Blood Meridian, based on the novel by Pulitzer Prize winner Cormac McCarthy, written by Oscar winner John Logan and directed by John Hillcoat, and Watch Dogs, an adaptation of Ubisoft’s best-selling video game franchise starring Tom Blyth and Sophie Wilde. Additional recent and upcoming titles include Steve McQueen’s Blitz (Apple TV+); The Bikeriders (Focus Features); an untitled Elon Musk documentary from Alex Gibney (HBO); 2073, directed by Academy Award winner Asif Kapadia; and Jimi, a Jimi Hendrix documentary from Emmy nominee Bao Nguyen. On the television side, New Regency’s slate includes the Emmy-winning Mr. & Mrs. Smith (returning for Season 2 on Prime Video), a Malcolm in the Middle limited series (Disney), Man on Fire (Netflix), and Prime Target, starring Leo Woodall (Apple TV+).

"New Regency has always taken a nimble, creator-first approach to the business," said New Regency Chairman and CEO, Yariv Milchan, "By aligning with Shamrock, a partner that shares our vision and values, we’re able to position the library as a dynamic asset within the company’s broader content ecosystem strategy — one that will allow the asset to continue to thrive independently while we pursue bold, new creative endeavors."

“We are thrilled to partner with New Regency’s leadership team as they embark on their next phase of growth through this innovative financing transaction. Our investment philosophy centers on supporting premium and evergreen content, and New Regency’s acclaimed film and television library, which includes iconic titles and award-winning stories, is best in class across the global landscape of independent studios” said Jason Sklar and Patrick Russo, Partners at Shamrock Capital.

J.P. Morgan Securities LLC acted as capital structure advisor to New Regency on the transaction, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. acted as sole bookrunner on the credit facilities. Latham & Watkins acted as lead legal advisor to New Regency, Sidley Austin acted as legal advisor to Shamrock Capital and DLA Piper acted as legal advisor to the lenders.
