Succession Season 4 Episode 5 Gojo Deal
To understand the new Gojo deal in Succession Season 4, we first need to understand what exactly the original deal was. To brush up your memory, during season 3 of Succession, the series started with Waystar Royco planning to buy GoJo. To be exact, Gojo is a booming tech company that had helped modernize Waystar. Logan and Roman were the ones who were interested in GoJo. The reason being the Gojo acquisition would help Waystar enter the streaming market by revamping its streaming service, StarGo. In layman's language buying the Gojo means that one day Walt Disney decided to buy YouTube to make Disney+ (just an example).
However, the plan to buy Gojo totally changes when an option of the merger was brought to the table. However, the merger did not take place when Matsson offers to buy Waystar instead of other way around, Logan liked the idea of Gojo buying Waystar and its subsidiaries which included parks and cruises, Waystar Studios (their production company), and StarGo. However, the deal did not include News outlet ATN, and therefore it was supposed to be under Logan's ownership. Keeping longs things short, the Gojo buying Wasystar and its subsidiaries left Logan with rich cash settlements with him keeping ATN as well.
What is the new Gojo deal?
Even after Logan's masterstroke of keeping the ATN under his leadership, things go sideways when the kids decide to rally the board to vote against the deal, arguing that Matsson's cash settlement is not going to be enough. The kids Kendall, Roman, and Shiv (Sarah Snook) were keen to screw the Gojo deal of Logan, however it backfires when Logan flies to Matsson and eventually dies, Logan's sudden death, the shares of Waystar nosedive to 20 percent. Even after Kendall and Roman were announced as Co-CEOs of the company, Waymaster could only fetch 10 percent of the lost values of the stocks. After Logan's death, the maths change completely. Matsson points out that why will he invest or buy anything that is already on sale? Therefore, Matsson comes with a new proposal or lets say the New Gojo Deal. Matsson resufeses to pay more on Logan's original deal and renames it to Waystar standard as he proposes to buy Waystar, its subsidiaries including the ATN news which were close to Logan's heart which he did not sell. However, Massson offers a whopping $187 billion dollar for the buyout. Ultimately, Kenadall and Roman could not counter anything better and therefore they contemplate of taking the new Gojo deal and remain Co-CEOs until further notice. At the end, the new Gojo deal goes and the deal closes at $192 billion.
So, those looking still asking what the new Gojo deal - Matsson is officially set to buy Waystar, its subsidiaries, and ATN for $192 billion, and is already planning his takeover through employment cuts.
