Fellowship Entertainment

Spin-off

On 20 May 2026, the Board of Directors of Embracer announced the intention to separate the group into two publicly listed companies, through the spin-off of Fellowship Entertainment with a listing on Nasdaq Stockholm planned for calendar year 2027. The main rationale is to further increase management focus to capture the full potential of the high-quality assets in the group and accelerate value creation.
