Legends and ASM Global have announced the signing of a definitive agreement under which Legends will acquire ASM Global to create a premium live events company dedicated to providing outstanding experiences for fans around the world.

The acquisition of ASM Global’s venue management capabilities will enhance Legends’ services portfolio, positioning Legends to meet the expanding needs of sports organisations, entertainment venues, convention centres and attractions globally while supporting its vision to deliver exceptional live experiences for fans in the digital age.

Shervin Mirhashemi, CEO of Legends, said:

''Legends and ASM Global are both deeply client-centric and fan-focused and together we will deliver maximum value for our global client roster with even greater support and service options. Welcoming ASM Global to Legends is a capstone achievement in our 15-year journey toward becoming the world’s trusted partner for connecting people with the brands and communities that matter most to them, and for helping our clients create memorable moments that keep their fans and patrons returning time and again.''

Ron Bension, President and CEO of ASM Global, said:

''We’re thrilled to join Legends, which shares our client-first approach and advances our goal of offering our partner organisations a truly seamless experience while driving the growth of their businesses. Our clients will benefit from Legends’ robust services, innovation, technology and global partnerships which, combined with ASM Global’s venue management and content and event booking expertise, will provide our clients with locally tailored solutions and cutting-edge technologies to achieve outstanding fan experiences and improved venue owner results.''

Legends provides venue planning and project management, premium sales, sponsorship, hospitality and merchandise services to many of the world’s most iconic sports, entertainment and attractions brands, including Real Madrid, SoFi Stadium, One World Observatory, Dallas Cowboys, FC Barcelona, University of Notre Dame, New York Yankees and Ryder Cup, as well as leagues and properties such as the NFL, MLB, NASCAR, PGA of America and FIFA World Cup.
