Neutral Impact 4 of 5 m&a Written later

Topgolf Callaway Brands agreed to sell a 60% stake in its Topgolf and Toptracer business to an affiliate of Leonard Green & Partners, valuing Topgolf at approximately $1.1 billion. The company expects about $770 million in net proceeds and will keep a 40% stake, with closing expected in the first quarter of 2026. Shareholders would receive the proceeds, which the company says may be used to pay down debt and return capital through stock repurchases, though the specifics have not been set.

  • Expected net proceeds to the company are about $770 million, subject to purchase price adjustments and transaction fees.
  • Closing is expected in the first quarter of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals; either party may terminate if the sale has not occurred by March 17, 2026.
