Adevinta announces sale of InfoJobs Brazil to Redarbor

* Adevinta to sell its 76.2% stake in InfoJobs Brazil to Redarbor, through its

subsidiary Computrabajo, a company controlled by David González Castro

* Transaction is part of Adevinta's new "Growing at Scale" strategy focused on

driving sustainable growth across core European markets

Oslo, 30 March 2022 - Adevinta ASA (ADE) has today announced the completion of

the sale of its 76.2% stake in InfoJobs Brazil, the largest jobs marketplace in

Brazil, to Redarbor, the leading company in job marketplaces in Latin America

with the purpose of connecting companies to top talent across the region.

The sale of InfoJobs Brazil to Redarbor is part of Adevinta's "Growing at Scale"

strategy, announced in November 2021. Adevinta is focusing its portfolio to

drive growth in its five core European markets and accelerate innovation across

its products and services.

InfoJobs Brazil was launched in 2004 as Infoemprego by David González Castro,

and relaunched as Infojobs Brazil in 2007 by the joint venture then formed with

Schibsted. It is the most-used employment website in Brazil, with more than 44

million candidates registered across the platform and an average of 12 million

unique monthly visitors in 2021.

Founded in 2013 by David González Castro, Redarbor, the main shareholder of

Computrabajo, is the leading provider of integrated job solutions that helps

bring together companies with talented candidates, using technology to optimise

the job search process. The business is well-established in Latin America with

presence across 25 countries and over 35 million monthly active users.

The combined Computrabajo and InfoJobs Brazil business will create a regional

leader in online job marketplaces, with a significant base of regular active

users. Bringing the two companies together connects an even larger pool of

candidates to potential employers looking to find the best talent across Latin

America. Following the transaction, David González Castro will be the main

shareholder of the combined business.

Rolv Erik Ryssdal, CEO of Adevinta, said: "InfoJobs Brazil has seen incredible

growth in recent years, developing into the leading jobs marketplace in the

country. The sale to Redarbor will also enable Adevinta to focus on the next

stage of our growth, as we continue to build momentum in our five core European

markets. I am confident that under David Gonzaléz's leadership it will continue

to flourish."

David González Castro, CEO and Founder of Redarbor, said: "With this operation,

Redarbor, adding Infojobs Brazil to Computrabajo, consolidates its leading

position in job marketplaces in Latin America. I am very confident in the

success of this acquisition because of the great potential I see in Infojobs

Brazil, together with Computrabajo and our software HR solutions. I want to

thank Schibsted, Adevinta and Rolv Erik for all these years of enriching

partnership."
