Global Media & Entertainment ECONOMIC

Target: Global Media & Entertainment Limited (UK company 06251684) Request ID: 28ea1a06-19b7-4306-968a-e6cf2b75ea8c Research date: 8 October 2026

Identity, control and Israeli-Nexus Floor

[pre-2020] Global Media & Entertainment Limited was incorporated in England and Wales on 18 May 2007 and remains an active private company registered at 30 Leicester Square, London.¹ Global describes Ashley Tabor-King as its Founder & Executive President, while Companies House records him as a current director.^{2, 3}

Companies House records Michael Barry Tabor as the sole active person with significant control, with the nature of control stated as significant influence or control.⁴ The register does not state an ownership percentage, so no percentage is inferred.⁴

The latest filing history shows FY2025 group accounts, made up to 31 March 2025, filed on 22 December 2025.⁵ Those accounts identify Global Radio Group Limited, Jersey, as the immediate and ultimate parent of company 06251684.⁶ Global’s current FY2025/26 modern-slavery statement calls 06251684 the Global group parent for the UK statement’s scope; that description does not displace the audited ownership chain above the UK company.⁷

The similarly named Global Media Entertainment Ltd (12580958) is a separate company incorporated in 2020 and is outside this audit.⁸

Israeli-Nexus Floor checks: no public evidence identified that company 06251684 was founded in Israel, has its headquarters or principal place of management in Israel, is Israeli tax resident, holds Israeli Preferred Technology Enterprise status, or is beneficially controlled by Israeli capital.^{1, 4, 7} Global does, however, have a verified minority investment and ongoing commercial relationship with Israeli company Sonic Odeeo Ltd, addressed separately below; that investment does not make Global itself Israeli-founded, Israeli-headquartered or Israeli-controlled.^{9, 10, 11}

Targeted checks of the reviewed UN/OHCHR settlement-business material and A/HRC/59/23 identified no target-specific Global or Odeeo entry.^{12, 13} The OHCHR database has a defined settlement-activity mandate, so absence from the reviewed material is not treated as proof that every possible Israel-related transaction is absent.¹²

Acquired Israeli subsidiaries

No public evidence identified of an Israeli operating company acquired or controlled by Global.^{9, 14, 7} Sonic Odeeo is the material Israeli investment identified: Global’s audited FY2023 accounts state that it invested £1.6 million ($2 million) through Digital Audio Exchange Limited on 26 May 2022 and received a 4% minority shareholding.⁹ FY2024 accounts repeat the 4% transaction; there is no evidence in those accounts that Global controlled Odeeo.¹⁴

Controlling-principal investments

No public evidence identified in the reviewed material of a material personal or family-office investment by Michael Tabor or Ashley Tabor-King in an Israeli operating company that can be attributed to Global under the requested principal lens.^{4, 2, 3} Their corporate roles are established, but no Israel investment by either individual was verified in this research.^{4, 2}

Supply Chain & Sourcing Relationships

Direct agricultural supplier relationships: no public evidence identified of procurement by Global from Mehadrin, Hadiklaim, Galilee Export, Agrexco successors or another named Israeli agricultural exporter.^{15, 7} Global’s disclosed activities are radio, outdoor advertising, digital advertising, Global Player, podcasting and live events; its current supply-chain categories concern advertising inventory, construction/maintenance, print, transmission, events, property, professional services, IT and podcast/live-event services.⁷

Importer-of-record structure: no public evidence identified of a Global-owned importer of record for Israeli-origin agricultural or consumer goods.⁷

Seasonal sourcing: no public evidence identified of recurring seasonal agricultural procurement from Israel.⁷

Third-party and indirect sourcing: no public evidence identified of Israeli-origin food or other retail goods reaching Global through distributors, resellers or private-label arrangements.⁷ There are, however, verified Israeli or Israeli-origin technology relationships: Global invested in Israel-based Odeeo and operates a continuing DAX advertising partnership with it, while Global’s cookie disclosures list AppsFlyer and Gigya as vendors.^{10, 16, 17, 18, 19}

Product Origin, Labeling & Regulatory Compliance

Settlement-origin products: no public evidence identified that Global sells agricultural or consumer goods alleged or confirmed to originate in West Bank, East Jerusalem or Golan settlements.^{7, 12}

Labeling compliance or enforcement: no public evidence identified of a DEFRA, customs or other country-of-origin enforcement action against Global concerning settlement-produced goods.⁷

Corporate labeling policy: no public evidence identified of a Global policy specifically addressing country-of-origin labeling for goods from occupied or contested territories.⁷ Global’s current disclosed supply chain is predominantly media, advertising, technology and services rather than grocery or consumer-product retail.⁷

Investment, Capital & Financial Exposure

Sonic Odeeo - verified Israeli investment

On 26 May 2022, Global, through Digital Audio Exchange Limited, invested £1.6 million ($2 million) in Sonic Odeeo Ltd as part of seed funding and received a 4% shareholding.⁹ Global’s contemporaneous announcement describes Odeeo as an Israel-based technology company and says DAX would become Odeeo’s exclusive sales partner in the UK and US.¹⁰

Odeeo announced a $9 million total seed round led by Play Ventures and Global, with other investors also participating.²⁰ The $9 million figure is therefore the total round and must not be attributed wholly to Global; Global’s audited contribution was $2 million.^{9, 20}

At 31 March 2024, Global’s investments note reported aggregate cost of £2.214 million, aggregate impairment of £476,000 and aggregate net book value of £1.738 million.¹⁴ The same note repeats the historical Odeeo $2 million/4% transaction, but the aggregate £1.738 million net book value is not disclosed as an Odeeo-only carrying value.¹⁴

The FY2025 investment note combines the 4% Sonic Odeeo stake with an 8.51% holding in Aflorithmic Labs Limited and reports aggregate net book value of £3.277 million at 31 March 2025. This is not an Odeeo-only carrying value. The separate £1.6 million ($2 million) investment on 27 December 2024 explicitly concerns Aflorithmic Labs through Global Media Group Services Limited, and must not be confused with the 2022 Odeeo contribution.⁶

A September 2025 disclosure by Kayac records a further $1 million investment in Odeeo and states that Odeeo’s total funding had reached $15 million.²¹ The latest FY2025 group accounts, note 17 on printed page 71, report a 4% shareholding in Sonic Odeeo at 31 March 2025. That dated accounts disclosure is the latest verified Global percentage; no newer cap-table disclosure was identified, and 4% is not asserted as the current October 2026 percentage.^{6, 21}

Odeeo currently identifies Sonic Odeeo Ltd at 5 Hahoshlim St, Herzliya, Israel, and states that its team spans Israel, Europe and the USA.^{11, 22} Its current site reports 300M+ monthly active users, 12B+ monthly bid requests, 1,000+ premium mobile games and reach across 150+ countries.¹¹ These are Odeeo’s own current scale claims, not Global revenue figures.¹¹

Continuing commercial relationship

The relationship did not end with the 2022 investment. Odeeo’s current advertiser page quotes DAX North America and Global’s Commercial DAX Director describing Odeeo and DAX as partners, including the statement that Odeeo operates as part of the DAX advertising proposition.¹⁶ Global’s current DAX brand-safety material likewise states that DAX partners with Odeeo for a curated slate of premium mobile games.²³

This establishes a continuing post-2024 commercial relationship with an Israeli operating company.^{16, 23} The reviewed sources do not disclose the current commission structure, revenue split, payments between Global/DAX and Odeeo, or the amount of revenue that the relationship contributes to either company.^{16, 23}

R&D and innovation centres

No public evidence identified of a Global-owned R&D centre, accelerator or innovation facility in Israel.⁷ Odeeo itself has an Israeli operating base and technology team, but it is a minority investee rather than a Global-controlled subsidiary.^{9, 11}

Adtech and data-platform relationships

Global’s current cookie policy lists AppsFlyer and Gigya, Inc. among non-IAB vendors used for personalised ads/content, advertising/content measurement, audience insights and product development.¹⁷ AppsFlyer’s current privacy policy, updated 6 August 2026, identifies AppsFlyer Ltd, 14 Maskit St, Herzliya, Israel.¹⁸

[pre-2020] SAP acquired Gigya in 2017; its 2020 customer-data-platform announcement said Gigya technology underpinned SAP Customer Data Cloud, including identity and consent-management capabilities.¹⁹ Contemporary acquisition reporting stated that Gigya’s R&D was based in Israel and its founders were Israeli.²⁴ The Global vendor listing is current, but the cited evidence does not establish which SAP/Gigya legal entity contracts with Global or where Global payments are booked.^{17, 19, 24}

The cookie disclosures also do not establish that a particular Global Player user’s data is transferred to Israel by AppsFlyer or Gigya; no such transfer is inferred here.^{17, 18}

Parent, beneficial ownership and portfolio exposure

Company 06251684 sits below Global Radio Group Limited, Jersey, according to the latest audited ownership disclosure.⁶ Michael Tabor’s Companies House PSC entry records significant influence or control without a percentage, and Ashley Tabor-King is a director/founder.^{4, 2, 3}

Apart from the verified Odeeo investment, no public evidence identified of Global holding an Israel-focused investment fund, Israeli sovereign bonds or another material Israeli operating-company stake in the reviewed disclosures.^{9, 14, 6}

Financing the State

No public evidence identified of Global underwriting or arranging Israeli sovereign debt or war bonds, selling Israel Bonds, providing direct lending or trade finance to an OHCHR-listed company or Israeli defence prime, or underwriting Israeli state, military or settlement operations.^{15, 7, 12, 13}

Operational Presence & Market Activity

Physical Global footprint: Global’s FY2025/26 modern-slavery statement says the group operates in the UK, Ireland, Netherlands, Spain, USA and Monaco.⁷ Its current DAX site presents the same broad international commercial footprint and does not list Israel as a Global market site.²⁵

Global maintains identifiable controlled operating businesses in Spain and the Netherlands: the Spanish legal page identifies Global Media & Entertainment S.A.U. in Madrid, and the Dutch corporate page identifies Global Media & Entertainment B.V. in Amsterdam as part of the UK Global group.^{26, 27} Global acquired Monaco-based Riviera Radio in 2025, adding the Monaco operation reflected in current disclosures.²⁸

No public evidence identified of a Global-owned office, sales centre, warehouse, radio station, outdoor concession or other physical operating site in Israel.^{25, 7} Odeeo’s Herzliya address is the address of the minority investee, not evidence of a Global office.^{9, 11, 22}

Canada: Global’s FY2024 modern-slavery statement listed Canada among its operating countries.²⁹ The FY2025 accounts record the Canadian DAX exit during FY2025, and the current FY2025/26 operating-country list omits Canada.^{6, 7} Canada is therefore a historical rather than current operating footprint.^{6, 7, 29}

Employment and tax contribution in Israel: no public evidence identified of Global employees on an Israeli payroll, an Israeli Global tax registration, or a Global Israeli VAT entity.⁷ Odeeo employs or engages a team in Israel, but that is activity of the minority investee.¹¹

Market positioning: Global has not been identified describing Israel as one of its own operating markets or regional hubs.^{25, 7} The verified Israel exposure is instead a minority strategic investment and DAX commercial partnership with Odeeo.^{9, 10, 16}

Advertising, editorial content and corporate speech

Global sells advertising across radio, outdoor and DAX.^{15, 25} LBC’s own advertiser material states that LBC doesn’t have a political agenda and says its programming presents a mix of opinions.³⁰ This is Global/LBC’s stated advertising position; it does not prove neutrality in every individual editorial decision.³⁰

No presenter opinion, guest interview, routine news report or standalone advertisement was treated as a corporate political position without evidence of formal adoption or control.³⁰ No verified Global corporate statement establishing formal support for an Israeli government or military policy was identified in this ECON research.^{30, 13}

The earlier claim that no Israel-specific commercial relationship existed is corrected: the Odeeo investment and DAX partnership are verified Israel-linked commercial activity.^{9, 10, 16, 23} no public evidence identified, however, of an Israeli outdoor concession, Israeli government advertising contract, IMOD/IDF procurement contract, or settlement-specific advertising contract attributable to Global.^{7, 12, 13}

Corporate Structure & Foundational Ties

Founding and incorporation: [pre-2020] Global was incorporated in England and Wales in 2007 and remains active.¹ Global identifies Ashley Tabor-King as founder and says he created Global.³ No Israeli founding or original Israeli incorporation was identified.^{1, 3}

Headquarters and domicile: The audited UK operating parent is company 06251684 at 30 Leicester Square, London, while its latest disclosed immediate and ultimate parent is Global Radio Group Limited in Jersey.^{1, 6} No legacy or dual Global headquarters in Israel was identified.⁷

State and institutional linkages: no public evidence identified of Israeli state ownership in Global, an Israeli government-appointed Global director, designation of Global as Israeli critical national infrastructure, or an Israeli government procurement relationship.^{4, 2, 7, 12}

Structural governance features: no public evidence identified of a golden share, charter restriction or governance mechanism tying Global’s corporate mission or control to the Israeli state.^{4, 6}

Controlled international companies: Current public material identifies operating businesses in jurisdictions including Spain and the Netherlands and the 2025 acquisition of Riviera Radio in Monaco.^{26, 27, 28} No controlled Israeli operating subsidiary was identified; Odeeo remains documented as a minority investment.^{9, 14}

Profit Repatriation & Economic Contribution

Revenue attribution: No public Israel-specific Global revenue figure was identified.^{14, 6} The public evidence establishes an Israeli investment and advertising-sales relationship but does not quantify DAX revenue, commissions or fees attributable to Odeeo.^{9, 16, 23}

Capital contribution: Global made a direct £1.6 million ($2 million) equity investment into Israel-based Sonic Odeeo in 2022.^{9, 10, 22} That is a verified capital contribution to an Israeli operating company.^{9, 22}

Commercial economic relationship: Current Odeeo and Global materials continue to describe DAX and Odeeo as partners in mobile-game advertising.^{16, 23} Public sources reviewed do not disclose payment flows, current Global ownership percentage, current investment carrying value attributable specifically to Odeeo, dividends, disposal proceeds or taxes arising from the relationship.^{14, 16, 23, 21}

Profit flows: Global is not Israeli-domiciled and its disclosed ultimate parent is Jersey-based.^{1, 6} no public evidence identified of Global-wide profits being repatriated to an Israeli owner.^{4, 6} No public dividend from Odeeo to Global was identified in the reviewed accounts.^{9, 14}

Economic ecosystem role: no public evidence identified of Global itself being designated a key Israeli employer, infrastructure provider or sector anchor.⁷ Odeeo, the minority investee, describes itself as an Israel-founded adtech company with an international team and substantial global mobile-game advertising reach.^{11, 22}

Constructive-notice timing: The equity investment occurred in 2022, before 19 July 2024.⁹ Current Odeeo and Global materials show that the DAX/Odeeo commercial partnership remained active after 19 July 2024 and after November 2024.^{16, 23} No evidence identified of a new post-2024 Global equity investment in Odeeo.^{14, 21}

Settlement nexus: no public evidence identified of Global or Odeeo operations, offices, outdoor concessions, sourcing, distribution or disclosed revenue specifically in West Bank/East Jerusalem settlements or the occupied Syrian Golan, nor of a settlement-specific state or military contract.^{11, 7, 12, 13} The verified Israel nexus described in this audit should therefore be kept distinct from a settlement nexus.^{9, 10, 22}
