SAG AFTRA Inactivation Notice ABN Talent Agency

To: All SAG-AFTRA members who are currently represented by, or have previously been affiliated with, ABN Talent Agency.

Please note, ABN Talent Agency inactivated its franchise in the Miami Local on June 10, 2024 under the SAG Codified Agency Regulations Rule 16(g) and AFTRA Agency Regulations Rule 12-C.

The effect of the inactivation is as follows:

• No member of SAG-AFTRA may hereafter engage, use, or deal through this agency.
• All contracts in force between this agency and the members of SAG-AFTRA are ipso facto and without further notice terminated except that the agency may retain and collect any commissions earned under said contracts prior to the inactivation of the franchise.
• Members shall not be under any obligation to pay commissions to the agent on any money earned by members after the termination of the agency contracts (e.g. inclusive of monies dated after the inactivation becomes effective), even though such monies are earned by members on employment contracts in existence at the date of termination of the agency contracts.

Please note that TV/Theatrical check authorizations on file with SAG-AFTRA are automatically terminated. However, performers wanting to terminate promo/commercial check authorizations will have to act to do so.

Please do not hesitate to contact the SAG-AFTRA Professional Representatives Department at (323) 549-6745 if you have any outstanding questions. Thank you.
