Re: Supplemental Report - Sale Offer
Further to the previous announcement made by Matomy Media Group Ltd. (LSE: MTMY, TASE: MTMY.TA) (the "Company") on April 4, 2019 (RNS Number 2145V) regarding a conditional offer received by the Company for the sale of all of its shares in Team Internet AG ("Team Internet") (90%) to an entity to be formed by Rainmaker Investments GmbH and a partner designated by it (the "Potential Purchaser" and the "Sale Offer", respectively), and subsequent announcements from May 15, 2019 and June 10, 2019 (RNS Number 9410Y and 6413B, respectively) regarding the extension of the due diligence and negotiation period, the Company hereby announces that due to changes in compliance requirements, a handful of its customers have been deactivated. These changes may have a negative impact on the Company's financial results, though the exact impact would depend on the outcome of various actions that are being taken by the Company in order to mitigate the effect of these changes.
As a result of this issue the Potential Purchaser has informed the Company that it will require additional time to assess the Company's business and financial position and evaluate the feasibility and pricing of a revised purchase offer, which shall reflect lower economic values compared to the original Sale Offer. The Company expects to continue discussions with the Potential Purchaser concerning a transaction, along with other alternatives that may be available to the Company. The Company shall convene, in the following days, a bondholders' meeting to provide updates as to the various options relating to the sources for, and timing of, the bonds' repayment.
