The four exceptions are the "auto aftermarket" properties, which formerly comprised the UBM Automotive Group prior to UBM's own merger with Informa last year. A full list of the properties changing hands can be seen below, as provided by Endeavor: Endeavor says it now owns more than 80 print and digital media brands and 59 live events across at least 16 different industries, with more than 600 employees in at least nine corporate offices around the U.S. Asked whether the company anticipates any layoffs or redundancies as a result of this week's acquisition, a spokeswoman tells Folio: that Endeavor "will be bringing over all staff on the brands as they are structured today."
