MTG completes initial investment in InnoGames

MTG has now completed the previously announced acquisition of 21% of InnoGames, a leading global online games developer and publisher. MTG will acquire a further 14% of InnoGames during 2017.

Jørgen Madsen Lindemann, MTG President and CEO: “Our MTGx division is now present in three complementary digital storytelling verticals, each of which offers truly global potential. InnoGames is a perfect fit for our strategy of investing in relevant, complementary and scalable digital brands, content and communities. We are looking forward to working with the talented InnoGames team to build on their successful track record.”

The acquisition of 35% of InnoGames in total is based on a total enterprise value of EUR 260 million for 100% of InnoGames. MTG has the right to acquire a further 16% of the company at the same valuation up until the end of September 2017, as well as options to increase the shareholding further over time. MTG will report its share of InnoGames’ net income as associated company income (EBIT) within its MTGx operating segment with effect from today’s date.
