AT&T sold its minority stake in Hulu back to the streaming video joint venture. The transaction valued Hulu at $15bn, with AT&T’s 9.5% interest valued at $1.4bn. The sale did not require any governmental or other third-party approvals and was simultaneously signed and closed. Walt Disney, holds a 60% stake in Hulu via a joint venture, while Comcast has a 30% stake.
