Over the past five years, the company has grown by an average of 32% in terms of revenue and 64% in terms of EBITDA. The selling gamigo shareholders will receive the up to 18.2 million new MGI shares in two steps. In return, the company's share capital will be increased by up to 18.2 million new MGI shares. A lock-up period of around 25 months will apply to approximately 98% of these new shares. The cash portion of the purchase price is financed with a loan from UniCredit Bank in the amount of EUR 10 million at an interest rate of 5.5% p.a. and with free liquidity from MGI. The acquisition of approx. 2% of the gamigo shares is still pending, but negotiations for the purchase of these remaining shares are already underway. Should the negotiations fail, a squeeze-out of these shareholders will be attempted. About Media and Games Invest plc: Disclaimer Press contact: Issuer
