This is a momentous occasion and one that we believe will result in a fundamental, as well as a transformational, change for our rapidly growing company. The consolidated business is expected to deliver significant increases in both revenues and profitability, and we believe we are now well-positioned to continue our growth trajectory and deliver incremental value to all our stakeholders.
Terms of the Acquisition
Under the terms of the deal, Golden Matrix purchased MeridianBet for $30 million, with a further $20 million in a non-contingent cash consideration following the completion of the deal.
The purchase price was down from an original bid of $50 million, with Golden Matrix managing to reduce its initial bid price by restructuring the deal to include further cash related to performance after completion of the deal.
The purchase of MeridianBet was financed with a mixture of cash, some debt, and a partial stock transfer.
