To many, they\u2019re parasitic mercenaries who will lie and obfuscate to secure their clients a few more peanut M&amp;Ms in their trailers. That stereotype is not totally true, of course, and to the extent that it is, so what? Agents extract value in a system designed by studios and streamers to hide it, even if most executives consider them a 10 percent tax on talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So it\u2019s hard not to feel a little bad for these ICM Partners agents who are getting chewed up in its $750 million acquisition by CAA, its larger rival, that was finally approved last week by the Department of Justice. Takeovers are difficult, both culturally and logistically, so nobody expected these cutthroat CAA and ICM agents to form a drum circle or sing an Armani-clad version of\u00a0<em>We Are the World<\/em>\u00a0at the corner of Constellation Boulevard and Avenue of the Stars. Still, due either to naivete or an inflated sense of their own value, few on the ICM side expected the\u00a0<em>ruthlessness<\/em>\u00a0with which this \u201cmerger\u201d is being carried out. It\u2019s getting nasty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the usual redundancies and low-hanging layoffs, dozens of profitable agents are now gone, their emails abruptly shut off last Wednesday. Yet some of them still haven\u2019t been allowed to finalize their separation agreements and go to another company, putting them in a weird limbo. According to sources, CAA has even been calling the clients of at least a few of those agents, just to let them know about the opportunities available to extraordinary talents such as themselves, if they want to drop their terminated agent\u2014who, by the way, doesn\u2019t even have a functioning email address anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s the game, of course, and these agents all signed up willingly to play it, even if many of them believed ICM C.E.O.\u00a0<strong>Chris Silbermann<\/strong>\u00a0would take better care of them while negotiating nine-figures worth of CAA equity for himself. To many, Silbermann has become the villain of this acquisition, though it\u2019s worth noting that Chris\u00a0<em>did<\/em>\u00a0rescue and keep the agency alive for more than a decade, when many thought its days were numbered under previous leadership. And before the deal closed, he let several agents out of their contracts and allowed them to take clients when they wanted to accept a job elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, the situation is so tense that several of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.creativespikedigital.com\/lftc\/attorneys\/bryan-j-freedman\/\">ousted ICM people have hired litigator\u00a0<strong>Bryan Freedman<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0to enforce their rights against either CAA or Silbermann, I\u2019ve learned. Freedman has exchanged correspondence with CAA, and is threatening to sue or go public with his clients\u2019 grievances. These include claims against Silbermann personally that have not been disclosed. (CAA and Freedman declined to comment. CAA\u2019s majority owner, TPG, is also an investor in Puck.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At issue is the way CAA is exiting many of ICM\u2019s so-called \u201cpartners.\u201d These people generally owned a small equity stake in the company but were offered a depressing choice upon learning they were being bounced. They could roll their ICM equity into CAA\u2014as Silberman,\u00a0<strong>Ted Chervin<\/strong>, and others who were invited to join CAA are doing\u2014but only if they agreed not to \u201ccompete\u201d against CAA for two years. The language is broad on what \u201ccompeting\u201d means, so CAA could try to prevent them not only from going to another agency but also from joining one of the well-funded management companies or the many businesses that the increasingly-diversified CAA considers to be competitive these days. To be safe, these agents would need to either do something else for a few years\u2014a death knell for talent representatives, whose clients would likely assimilate into the CAA Borg\u2014or just retire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s option one. The other choice on the table, I\u2019m told, is for ICM\u2019s partners to divest their equity, take a cash payout and go work somewhere else. That payment is only one year\u2019s salary for those who have been an ICM partner for up to 10 years, and two years\u2019 salary for those partners of 10 years or more\u2014and it\u2019s paid out over\u00a0<em>three<\/em>\u00a0years. Not nothing, but not\u00a0<em>nearly<\/em>\u00a0the value that many of these long-tenured agents believed they were building at ICM. Some are essentially being forced to leave the business or leave millions of dollars on the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not great! Especially for the experienced agents who believed their years-long \u201cpartnership\u201d would lead to a windfall upon just this kind of big-ticket acquisition. Many also sat quietly during nine months of government review, closing deals that will now generate money for CAA, without much indication from Silbermann or CAA leaders\u00a0<strong>Byran Lourd<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Richard Lovett<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Kevin<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Huvane<\/strong>\u00a0about how this would all shake out.\u00a0<em>Don\u2019t worry about it<\/em>, was a common refrain. Many\u00a0<em>were<\/em>\u00a0ultimately taken care of, but many others should have been worrying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u00a0<em>really<\/em>\u00a0sucks for someone like, say,\u00a0<strong>Jessica Lacy<\/strong>, the well-known head of ICM independent and international film, who was initially told she would be invited to CAA but was then\u00a0<em>un-invited<\/em>\u00a0after she apparently made comments that irked a top CAA agent with whom she would have had to work. Or\u00a0<strong>Michael Kagan<\/strong>, the successful ICM unscripted TV agent, whose packages on dozens of shows (and his participations from those packages) are being left behind. Both Lacy and Kagan are in talks with\u00a0<strong>Steve Cohen<\/strong>\u2019s Range Media, among other talent firms, and will certainly land somewhere soon, yet CAA has been dragging its feet on letting them go. High-profile agents like\u00a0<strong>Joanne Wiles<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Bart Walker<\/strong>\u00a0are in similarly tenuous situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Agents who\u00a0<em>aren\u2019t<\/em>\u00a0partners have been told by CAA that their contracts, many of which expire in December, will be honored, subject to the usual mitigation if they get other jobs. But even those promises have been murky so far. I remember back in 2009, there was a dispute over that very mitigation topic between the newly merged WME and a couple of its agents, including Wiles, who now finds herself repped by Freedman in this similar CAA dispute. I guess it\u2019s the agency version of the circle of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The situation is better for those that\u00a0<em>have<\/em>\u00a0been invited to CAA, but that\u2019s fraught too. Those agents, for the most part, are getting far shittier deals, meaning less money and shorter terms than what they had, and some are being required to fire longtime clients that CAA has deemed not CAA-worthy. And that\u2019s just\u00a0<em>now<\/em>. The expectation within the talent community is that the ICM clients of value to CAA will be quickly assigned to \u201cteams\u201d that, if the past is any guide, will function to marginalize the original ICM agent, ultimately rendering him or her expendable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With exceptions, CAA wants the\u00a0<em>clients<\/em>, not the agents, which, given that CAA is very good at what it does, may actually be better for the talent. But ironically, it begs the question of whether joining CAA is ultimately better for an agent that might go elsewhere and at least have a better chance of keeping his or her clients. That includes Silbermann and Chervin, too, by the way. Anyone want to take the over\/under on when they exit? My guess would be they\u2019re gone by Jan. 2024, and that\u2019s likely being generous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This all may sound brutal, but that\u2019s kinda where we are in the talent business. As I\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/o\/nOedx\/https:\/\/puck.news\/caa-and-the-barbelling-of-the-talent-business\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wrote<\/a> last week, big is getting bigger, everyone else is feasting on scraps, and a circularity is taking hold. TPG is putting pressure on CAA, which is putting pressure on the ICM people and blaming TPG, and now ICM is squeezing its own people and blaming CAA. All to increase profitability and stay competitive. Just this past week, I learned that UTA has engaged its long-term bankers at Moelis to shop a stake in the company, either to replace existing investors or to bring on a new one. That makes sense; UTA just bought Curtis Brown Group in the U.K., and a new investor would likely give the firm a much higher valuation and allow its aging managers to take out a bunch of money\u2014just as the leaders of CAA and WME have done in the past. Private equity firm CVC Capital Partners, which owned a big piece of Formula One, is one of the entities looking at UTA, I\u2019m told. (UTA declined to comment.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>None of this is personal, I don\u2019t think. Or at least it isn\u2019t for the leaders of these agencies. The misread, if there is one, may be with agents or anyone else who thought these companies would act any differently.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As CAA says goodbye to ICM agents in the wake of its $750 million acquisition, the situation has devolved to the point where several of the ousted ICM people have hired a top litigator.
