Asset Description

Overview & Authentication

·Luce launched Sports Illustrated in an attempt to “diversify the publications owned by Time Inc.,” according to Britannica. 

·Early on, the magazine covered a mix of popular sports and more elite events like rugby, resulting in lackluster sales. According to Britannica: “After 1960, when Andre Laguerre took over as managing editor, Sports Illustrated focused on premier sporting events, allowing people to read more about what they had seen on television or read about in newspapers. Laguerre was thus able to gain millions of new readers and generate billions of dollars in profit. With Laguerre at the helm, Sports Illustrated began to feature both high-calibre photography and outstanding sports journalism. The magazine also published occasional pieces by such literary giants as William Saroyan, Robert Frost, and William Faulkner. 

·Sports Illustrated has spawned multiple off-shoot magazines, including Sports Illustrated Kids (January 1989) and Sports Illustrated Almanac (December 1991). 

·The annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, first launched in January 1964 as a way to fill the sports void between football and baseball seasons, has since become the magazine’s best-selling issue. 

·In January 2018, the Meredith Corporation acquired Sports Illustrated as part of its purchase of Time Inc. 

·In May 2019, the Meredith Corporation announced the sale of Sports Illustrated to Authentic Brands Group (ABG) for $110,000,000. 

·Sports Illustrated began as a weekly magazine though as the era of digital media matured, it was reduced to a twice-monthly release in January 2018, then cut down to a monthly magazine in 2020. 

·The Underlying Asset has been issued a grade of 9.8 by Certified Guaranty Company (CGC) with Certification No. 3830903002.
