Adventure Box Technology AB (publ) ("Adventure Box") has today entered into an agreement to acquire all shares in Multiverse ApS, Reg. No. 33384807 ("Multiverse"), owner of the gaming platform KoGaMa, through an issue of shares with payment in kind.

Adventure Box has today entered into a share purchase agreement regarding the acquisition of all shares in Multiverse from M-B Investments ApS, Assimulo II ApS, DoGaMa Games II ApS and Nordisk Games A/S. The purchase price will be paid through an issue of 15,069,686 shares in Adventure Box against payment in kind, leading to a dilution for existing shareholders in Adventure Box of 50 percent of the share capital and votes in Adventure Box. The purchase price in the acquisition has been calculated based on the assessment that Multiverse amounts to a value corresponding to the value of all shares in Adventure Box before the acquisition. The acquisition is subject to customary terms and conditions and is also subject to approval by an Extraordinary General Meeting of Adventure Box.
Adventure Box intends to convene an Extraordinary General Meeting to be held on 30 September 2022 to resolve on, among other things, the approval of the acquisition, an issue of shares with payment in kind and the election of Jakob Sillesen as a new Board member. Provided that the Extraordinary General Meeting resolves to approve the acquisition, the Board also intends to appoint Michal Bendtsen from Multiverse as CEO of Adventure Box. Shareholders in Adventure Box, who together hold shares corresponding to approximately 18 percent of the total number of shares and votes in the company before the acquisition, have undertaken to vote in favor of the transaction and all resolutions at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
Background and motives
The Danish company Multiverse was founded in 2010 and has a gaming platform where players can create, share, and play computer games. The gaming platform, called KoGaMa, currently has approximately 750,000 active monthly users, despite basically non-existent paid marketing. KoGaMa is a social platform for consumer-created computer games and has a large user community. KoGaMa's users have together created more than three million games. KoGaMa has a functioning revenue-generating system and an established support system for its users.
"With this acquisition, we gain complete ownership of a strong platform that is used and loved by a large and loyal user base. KoGaMa has existing revenue streams, a deep and well-planned software foundation, and traction amongst a global user fan base. The acquisition brings Adventure Box's vision of a popular software platform for creators to the present day, rather than an unknown date in the future," said Rickard Riblom, CEO of Adventure Box.
"The current situation of Multiverse ApS, combined with the turbulence of the financial markets, has created the opportunity for this exciting acquisition to be possible," said Örjan Frid, Chairman of the Board of Adventure Box.
As of today, Multiverse's organization consists of four full-time and two part-time employees. Multiverse's EBITDA result is estimated at approximately SEK 1.1 million for the calendar year 2021. Multiverse has revenue through customer development agreements, in-game advertising, and in-game purchases from users in the platform.
"By merging the two companies, we gain a strong product base, an exciting, combined vision for future growth, and existing revenue streams to build on. We're excited about the opportunities ahead and look forward to growing the company together," said Michal Bendtsen, CEO of Multiverse ApS.
