RNTS Media N.V. ("RNTS") announces today the divestment of its subsidiary
BIGSTAR Global Ltd. ("BSG"), a Seoul, Korea-based developer of digital
educational content for children, to a group of private investors led by
Korean-American entrepreneur Jonathan Kim and BSG's CEO Hyounghoon Han for
a purchase price of up to USD 3.0 million.
RNTS had decided to concentrate its activities on mobile advertising
technology following the acquisition of Fyber and the subsequent
acquisitions of Falk, Heyzap, and Inneractive. In this context, RNTS
explored options for the future of BSG. BSG had sales of EUR 6 million and
losses on EBITDA-level of EUR 582k in FY2015. RNTS had impaired the assets
and had taken a restructuring charge of EUR 1.2 million at year-end.
RNTS receives USD 1.5 million in RNTS shares currently owned by Hyounghoon
Han; such shares will be held as treasury shares. The remaining purchase
price of USD 1.5 million will be deferred for payment until a future trade
sale of BSG occurs or out of future earnings.
RNTS is granting a restructuring loan of USD 1.1 million to BSG, which is
expected to be repaid over the next five years.
