Mahmoodzadegan had an exceptionally busy year of media dealmaking with his investment bank Moelis & Co., along with a few detours into the sports world. Among the deals on which he advised are Atairos Management’s acquisition (in partnership with NBCUniversal) of a 30% ownership stake in Opry Entertainment Group, Chernin Entertainment’s acquisition of Red Arrow Studios from ProSiebenSat.1, Legendary Entertainment’s sale of a minority stake to Apollo, UTA’s sale of a minority stake to EQT Private Equity and Industrial Media’s sale to Sony Pictures Television. On the sports side, he advised a consortium led by Eldridge chief Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital Group on its $2.21 billion acquisition of Chelsea Football Club and was brought in by suspended Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver to facilitate the sale of the NBA team, which was recently valued at $1.92 billion.
