Acquisition of Digital Marketing Business

 

NetPlay TV (AIM: NPT), the interactive gaming company, is pleased to announce the acquisition of Otherside Inc. ("Otherside"), an online marketing, product development and technology company, for a total consideration of £3.2m (the "Acquisition").

 

Strategic rationale for the Acquisition

The Board has been actively looking at the market and considering various options as part of its stated strategy to expand the business both organically and through M&A. The Board believes the acquisition of Otherside will provide NetPlay with a number of key benefits, including;

 

· A robust media platform and specialist staff enabling the Group to control and tailor its digital marketing strategies.

 

· Synergies within the Group's existing gaming operations, delivering additional traffic to the Group's existing brands as well as a marketing skillset complimentary to its core products.

 

· The diversification of NetPlay's revenue by maintaining Otherside's current revenue streams and growing this business by building on the success of the marketing company to date.

 

Information on Otherside

Founded in 2008, Otherside specialises in online marketing, display media and affiliation, underpinned by its proprietary online marketing platform across a range of sectors. Otherside generated revenues of £2.6m, Adjusted EBITDA* of £0.6m and profit before tax of £0.4m in its unaudited financial information for the financial year ended 31 May 2015. This transaction constitutes a substantial transaction under the AIM Rules.

 

Terms of the Acquisition

The consideration for the Acquisition, for the trade and assets of Otherside, comprises an initial consideration of £2.7 million, to be satisfied by a cash payment from the Group's existing cash resources. Further consideration of £0.5 million is payable over 12 months from date of completion subject to the vendor completing certain deliverables as well as the continued employment of certain key individuals.

 

 

 

Bjarke Larsen, Chief Executive Officer of NetPlay TV commented:

"I am delighted to announce the acquisition of Otherside, which will strategically align with our core business and support our digital strategy across the Group's brand portfolio. As previously stated, NetPlay is in a strong position to pursue appropriate, value-enhancing M&A activity and we are confident that this acquisition further strengthens the Group's digital reach. We look forward to integrating this specialist team into our operations and capitalising on the numerous commercial and margin-enhancing opportunities presented by the acquisition."
