Source
A+E Global Media (A+E Television Networks) files nothing with the SEC, so none of this comes from a filer record. The description was written for this site in August 2026 from A+E Global Media (Wikipedia), Disney Sells Stake in A+E Global Media to Hearst (The Hollywood Reporter) and Hearst Clinches Deal to Buy Out A+E Global Media Stake From Disney (Variety). The ownership figures below come from the holders' filings instead, and are sourced row by row.
The disclosed stakes
One row per position. Where a holder reports the same company in two share classes, both rows are shown rather than summed, because the class is part of a position's identity.
Where each figure comes from
A private stake has no ownership form behind it, so the source is always the holder's own filing or disclosure. Anything modelled says so, with the arithmetic.
- The Walt Disney Company, as of 1 Jul 2026. In July 2026 (exact day not disclosed) Disney entered an agreement to sell its entire 50 percent interest in A+E to an affiliate of co-owner Hearst Corporation for approximately $1.2 billion cash. Closing is expected by the end of fiscal 2026, subject to customary closing conditions including regulatory approval, so this is a pending sale price, not a carrying value, and not yet closed as of this research. Disney recorded an $0.8 billion impairment on its A+E investment in the quarter ended 27 June 2026 ($1.0 billion for the nine months then ended). The equity-method carrying value of A+E specifically is not separately disclosed: Disney's combined 'Investments, equity basis' balance sheet line was $6,319 million at 27 September 2025 versus $2,680 million a year earlier, but that balance covers A+E, the 37 percent India joint venture and other equity-method investees together and cannot be allocated to A+E alone. sourcesource 2
What this page is not
It is not a complete register. It lists the holders who happen to be inside the researched set and disclosed the stake themselves. A private company can have many other shareholders, and nothing here rules them out: venture investors, founders and employees usually appear in no public filing at all. Percentages are of A+E Global Media (A+E Television Networks) where a holder stated one, and are missing where no holder did.
