Finanznachrichten News

Adventure Box Technologies AB ("Adventure Box") has entered into a Share Purchase Agreement ("SPA") to acquire 100% of the shares in Lion Gaming Group Inc. ("Lion"), a leading technology platform provider for iGaming for a purchase price of approximately SEK 467 million (the "Transaction"). The purchase price will be paid by way of issuance of new Adventure Box shares to the sellers of Lion. The acquisition is subject to approval by Adventure Box's shareholders at an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) and other closing conditions. Closing of the Transaction, subject to fulfilment of the closing conditions, is expected to occur within the next months.

STRATEGIC RATIONALE AND SYNERGIES

Lion is a leading provider of technology platform solutions for the iGaming sector, specializing in white-label turnkey casino and sportsbook platforms. The company is known for its innovative solutions and solid customer base in the global iGaming market. For 2024, Lion has a projected turnover of approximately MSEK 350 (MUSD 33) and an EBITDA of approximately MSEK 180 (MUSD 17).

"The acquisition allows us to capitalize on synergies and expand our global footprint. It equips us with the resources and backing necessary to position ourselves as a leader in iGaming technology," said Duncan McIntyre, CEO of Lion Gaming Group Inc.

The acquisition of Lion will strengthen Adventure Box's technological capabilities, enhance revenue streams, and enable it to better compete in the iGaming industry while bringing together two complementary businesses to enable operational efficiencies, including:

  • Expanded Technological Resources: Adventure Box will gain access to all of Lion's technology, intellectual property, and platforms, enhancing its iGaming offerings.

  • Improved Financial Stability: The acquisition will contribute to a stronger financial foundation for Adventure Box due to Lion's existing revenues and operational synergies.

"With the acquisition of Lion Gaming Group, we are building a significant new force in the iGaming market, as we anticipate strong synergies between the technological resources and improved financial stability. This acquisition sets the stage for creating a global leader," said Mads Jørgensen, Chairman of the Board of Adventure Box Technologies AB.

STRATEGIC BENEFITS AND FUTURE GROWTH POTENTIAL

The acquisition of Lion represents a significant strategic advancement for Adventure Box, delivering both technological and operational benefits. By acquiring a leading iGaming technology platform provider, Adventure Box gains access to Lion's cutting-edge casino and sportsbook platforms, expanding its product offerings and positioning the company for global growth. This move strengthens the combined company's overall capacity, leveraging existing revenues to enhance operational performance. The integration of both companies will generate cost synergies, resulting in greater efficiency and optimized resource usage. Additionally, new cross-selling opportunities, product development, and market expansion will drive further growth and competitiveness. The acquisition enhances Adventure Box's ability to lead in the iGaming market by creating a stronger competitive advantage. The operational plan includes clear steps for addressing convertible and warrant holder agreements to mitigate risks, ensuring the smooth execution of the acquisition. By reinforcing Adventure Box's capital structure and market presence, the transaction aims to support long-term value creation and business growth.

Under the terms of the SPA, Adventure Box will acquire all shares of Lion from its current shareholders. Shareholders owning approximately 98 % of all shares in Lion have entered into the SPA. One of the closing conditions of the Transactions, as described below, is that the remaining shareholders shall accede to the SPA. In return, the sellers will receive 1,166,272,194 newly issued Adventure Box shares (the "Consideration Shares").

The sellers shall not sell or otherwise transfer the newly issued shares outside such thresholds, except in certain conditions, such as a general offer for all shares in Adventure Box under the Takeover Rules, or with prior written consent from Adventure Box.
  • Ownership Structure: Post-acquisition, Lion's shareholders will own approximately 94.88% of Adventure Box.
  • Convertibles: Lion has outstanding convertible notes to around 15 convertible holders amounting to a total nominal amount of approximately USD 8.8 million ("Convertibles").
