Alma Media Corporation                                                           1 April 2021

ALMA MEDIA COMPLETES THE NETTIX ACQUISITION
Alma Media has closed the acquisition of Nettix Oy, the leading marketplace for motor vehicles, from Otava Group. The acquisition was announced on 5 March 2021.

The acquisition of Nettix Oy is a continuation of Alma Media's strategy that concentrates on digital media and services. Nettix will strengthen Alma Media's position in the marketplace business in Finland, especially in automotive and mobility services.

A total of 39 Nettix Oy's employees (converted to full-time employees) will transfer to Alma Media as of 1 April 2021.

Nettix will be reported as part of the Alma Consumer business segment, starting from Q2 2021. In 2020, Nettix had revenue of EUR 22.5 million, EBITDA of EUR 11.2 million and operating profit of EUR 10.0 million.

The transaction and its financing

The enterprise value of the business operations to be acquired is EUR 170 million. The purchase price will be paid in cash, for which purpose Alma Media has agreed on debt financing under regular terms and conditions for a business acquisition.

The purchase price will be paid in cash, and Alma Media has agreed on debt financing. Alma Media will finance the transaction fully with debt and has signed with OP Yrityspankki Oyj a committed bridge financing facility of EUR 220 million, which will fall due no later than 18 months after the acquisition has been completed. The financing also covered the EUR 53 million acquisition of the minority shareholding in Alma Mediapartners as announced by Alma Media in December. Alma Media will convert the bridge facility into long-term financing during 2021.

Alma Media estimates that the acquisition will create annual synergies of EUR 1.5 million by 2022, mainly related to advertising sales, support functions, premises, IT systems and IT development.

The estimated transaction-related costs are EUR 1.5 million, of which Alma Media has booked EUR 0.5 million as costs in 2020.
