Daniel Hasselberg, CEO and co-founder of MAG Interactive:

”It has been an exhilarating journey since the launch of Ruzzle in 2012. We are fortunate to have some astonishing, ambitious, hard-working and driven people in this Company. Together we have come far, but we are nowhere near done. We are still at the beginning of our journey with the listing being an important milestone, and an important step for us as a company. In addition to diversifying the ownership structure, the listing will contribute to awareness about MAG Interactive, something we are convinced will be beneficial for our growth journey ahead“.

Walter Masalin, Chairman of the Board of MAG Interactive:

”These are exciting times. It is with significant pride the board looks at what the Company has achieved. MAG Interactive has established a strong position within casual mobile games, and has proven to be able to expand its focus from the word game category to the broader and larger casual category, not least through the acquisition of FEO Media AB (”FEO Media”). With a clear strategy for continued profitable growth, we are excited to broaden the ownership base and offer the opportunity for an enlarged group of shareholders to follow us into the exciting future of the Company.”

Background to the Offering

MAG Interactive was founded in Stockholm in 2010. Ruzzle, the Company’s first game was launched in 2012. Since then nine additional games have been added to the portfolio through in-house development, publishing of games developed by third parties, as well as acquisitions.

The board of directors and the management of MAG Interactive believe that now is an appropriate time to broaden the shareholder base and to apply for a listing of the shares on Nasdaq First North Premier. The Offering and the listing is expected to support future growth, provide the Company with access to capital markets and establish a diversified base of new shareholders.
