Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen has exercised a right to force DreamWorks Animation to sell about 14 million shares to the public in a secondary offering following the Nov. 3 release of FLUSHED AWAY, reports BLOOMBERG NEWS.
The complicated move would not only dissolve Allens partnership with Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen, but also allow the Microsoft co-founder to benefit from the stock sale in the long run if the shares sell at a low price now.
