FDV completes monetisation of IZH call option
-
FDV has received a cash payment of A$1.9m from IZH Holdings in consideration for its option to acquire a 1.32% interest
-
Transaction is an example of FDV’s ability and willingness to monetise equity interests across its portfolio of 15 leading online classifieds businesses
-
The cash payment of A$1.9m was based on the intrinsic value of the option (a 1.32% interest in IZH Holdings less the A$0.7m option exercise cost)
-
Cash payment strengthens FDV’s balance sheet to approximately ~A$22m (pro-forma balance at 30 June 2018)
Frontier Digital Ventures Limited (“FDV”) is pleased to report that it has received a A$1.9m cash payment in consideration for cancelling its option to acquire a 1.32% interest in IZH Holdings. IZH Holdings is a private investment company that owns 70% of Zameen as well as several smaller online classifieds companies in developing markets.
The cash payment further strengthens FDV’s balance sheet, providing flexibility to capitalise on new tier 1 acquisition opportunities, as well as investing more into its most successful existing tier 1 market leading operating companies.
FDV remains committed to the growth of Zameen, as demonstrated through its participation in the most recent funding round (refer to ASX announcements “ Zameen valuation increase ” and “ Valuation uplift further validates FDV strategy ” released 3 May 2018 and 29 November 2017 respectively).
