Malmö/Frankfurt/London, February 6, 2012 – Mobile Loyalty PLC, a fast
growing service provider for Mobile Advertising and Mobile Marketing,
announces its successful acquisition of Encons Nordic AB (ENC). Founded in
2006, ENC has delivered turnkey advertising services to more than 70 media
companies in the Nordic countries. One of its most successful solutions are
internet auctions that help to increase the media channel–s advertising
revenue and to acquire new advertisers.
Sterner de la Mau, Founder and Chairman of Mobile Loyalty: –ENC suits us
very well, because we both have a business model, that is based on revenue
sharing with our customers. We will be able to directly launch ENC–s main
online auctions product for mobile phones and we plan to develop new
exciting products for our customers based on our existing mobile platform.–
Fredrick Lamotte, Founder and President of ENC: –ENC has been looking for a
partner, who is ready for expansion in order to meet the increased demand
from media companies, among others. We already have customers in a number
of non-Nordic countries and can leverage our product offering together on
the basis of the synergies with Mobile Loyalty. We are set for a rapid
expansion–.
In 2011, ENCs net sales amounted to about SEK 6 million (EUR 0.7 million)
with a profit of SEK 1 million (EUR 0.1 million). The deal was executed on
market terms including a cash consideration and 1,420,230 newly issued
shares.
