a management group at rko pictures and its backers, alan j. hirschfield and robert fell, is to pay about $ 48 million to buy the company from its parent, gencorp, according to confidential data circulated to potential private investors .
the purchase deal was announced last week, but not its price tag or other financial details. the seller has been shedding its television stations, reducing its own need for the programming represented by rko .
the information in memo form was prepared by new york investment banker painewebber inc. , which is seeking to sell $ 30 million of convertible preferred stock in a private placement as part of the purchase financing .
according to the document, other financing planned will include a $ 38 - million term loan, a $ 14. 3 - million revolving credit, plus a $ 2. 5 - million equity investment by the new owners. the company seeks about $ 39 million above the purchase price as working capital, according to the data .
the company, which in the last several years resumed production of movies and television programs, will continue these operations and initiate new ones, according to the information .
among other things, the document includes an anatomy of a movie library carved into a hodgepodge of rights under various owners .
it lays out various rights to the mostly pre - 1955 films, largely black and white and some generally accepted as
classics .
these include
citizen kane ,
king kong ,
the hunchback of notre dame
and fred astaire' s
top hat .
besides the underlying copyrights, rko pictures owns a hodgepodge of distribution rights. these include rights for
certain domestic free and pay / cable television markets .
rko reacquired those rights last december from marian b. pictures and is considering reacquisition of rights held by other parties, the document said, adding :
additionally, the company, which owns the colorization rights to substantially all films in the rko library, is exploring the economic, artistic and technical merits of colorization .
with the increasing importance of ancillary media such as the home video and various television markets, the motion picture industry has found that film libraries generate stable and predictable cash flows and have come to represent sources of substantial value .
rko also holds standard broadcast tv rights in areas representing about 20% of domestic homes, with revisionary rights covering 14% more in the event that television stations holding rights experience a change of control .
the data does not show the relative investment or equity interest among the buyers of rko pictures. however, it notes that hirschfield and fell would enter into consulting contracts calling for maximum reimbursement of $ 50, 000 for their services .
after completion of the purchase, they will be directors on the original seven - member board but hold no executive positions, according to the painewebber memorandum .
mark seiler, who will remain as president under the new ownership, declined to comment on the financial details of the document but affirmed the data about the library. he said there will be no changes in management. the firm will maintain principal executive offices in century city .

an industry executive familiar with both companies said time warner inc.' s film division, warner brothers, was interested in acquiring the distribution rights to united artists films in the united states. if that is accomplished, the company would have more films for its distribution network and would bring yet another movie company under its umbrella. it is also interested in acquiring the home video distribution rights overseas to united artists products, the executive said .
kirk kerkorian, who controls mgm / ua through his tracinda corporation, had originally agreed to sell the company to qintex, an australian company, but that deal fell through when qintex was unable to post the financial guarantees needed. terms of possible deal unclear
from the new york times. you may opt - out at any time .
you agree to receive occasional updates and special offers for the new york times' s products and services .
although rupert murdoch' s news corporation was initially rumored to be interested in the company, there is no indication that it still is. the price could be about $ 1 billion for mgm / ua common stock, as well as several hundred million dollars for its preferred stock and the assumption of an additional $ 400 million of mgm / ua debt .
