What Everyone Made From The Ngmoco-DeNa Deal

Yesterday, Japanese mobile gaming company DeNa closed its acquisition of iPhone gaming startup ngmoco for up to $400 million. (We first reported on the acquisition talks here ). The price includes $300 million up front in cash and stock, plus another $100 million earnout if ngmoco hits certain performance milestones. We also reported yesterday that ngmoco's largest investor, Kleiner Perkins, is set to take "more than $100 million off the table" for its share of the company, assuming the full amount is paid out. Well, it turns out the exact number could be closer to $130 million. Thanks to financial documents filed by DeNa in Japan, and discovered by Stuart Dredge at Mobile Entertainment , we now know each major shareholder's stake in the company and how much they will make from the deal. Kleiner owned a third of the company, or 32.7 percent. IVP owned 25 percent, now worth $100 million. Two of the co-founders, CEO Neil Young and chief creative officer Bob Stevenson, each owned 9.5 percent of the company, worth a potential payout of $38 million.
