Fyber N.V. announces closing of transaction between major shareholders and Digital Turbine as part of the acquisition of Fyber by Digital Turbine


Berlin, 26 May 2021 - Fyber N.V. ("Fyber" or the "Company", FSE:FBEN) announces the successful closing of the transaction between its major shareholder Tennor Holding B.V. ("Tennor") and Digital Turbine Inc. (NASDAQ: APPS, "Digital Turbine"), following the announcement of the signing of definitive agreements on the acquisition of Fyber by Digital Turbine by ad hoc notification on 22 March 2021.

Fyber joining the Digital Turbine group forms the largest independent growth platform for mobile app developers to expand their business. Both are leaders in their respective markets and expect to top the individual growth trajectories with synergies and strategic advantages across all group companies. By acquiring Fyber, Digital Turbine doubled down on its vertical integration strategy, underlining the company's strategy to provide comprehensive media and advertising solutions for its carrier and OEM ('Original Equipment Manufacturers') partners while enriching the mobile experience for end users through native on-device discovery. Fyber's clients are set to benefit from Digital Turbine's strategic relationships with mobile carriers and OEMs that power its vast scale of more than half a billion mobile devices containing their proprietary technology for app and content discovery.

Digital Turbine agreed on the acquisition of Tennor's complete shareholding in Fyber at a valuation of up to $600 million net for 100% of Fyber's shares, with the intention of acquiring 100% of shareholding in Fyber.
In a first step, Digital Turbine yesterday completed the acquisition of all shares in Fyber held by Tennor. The customary closing conditions have been met ahead of closing, including obtaining merger clearance in the USA and the full redemption of all outstanding senior unsecured convertible bonds issued by Fyber (ISIN XS1223161651).

Ziv Elul, CEO of Fyber, comments: "Lately, Fyber delivered the strongest yearly results with 2020 and the strongest quarter with Q4 2020 in the history of the company. Fyber monthly adjusted EBITDA has been positive since July last year and the strong revenue growth led to the increased guidance for the full year 2021 of an expected revenue between ?300 million and ?350 million - a plus of at least 43% compared to 2020 - at an adjusted EBITDA between ?15 million and ?20 million.
We are very happy and proud to top this development off with the acquisition by Digital Turbine and open the next growth chapter for Fyber and its partners. We have an ambitious product and business roadmap ahead of us for the rest of the year and are laser focused on maintaining our individual growth trajectory, while carefully assessing opportunities of integration and the realization of first synergies."

"The acquisition of Fyber completes Digital Turbine's strategy of bringing the largest, comprehensive and fast growing platform for mobile carriers and app developers to the market. Following our recent transactions acquiring AdColony and Appreciate, we are now in a position to bring together our unique client and best-in-class technology sets to form a comprehensive media and advertising solution that benefits all our partners.", says Bill Stone, CEO of Digital Turbine.
