Event: Strategic options review.
On March 16 (after 10 a.m.) Brand24 informed that it started a strategic options review. The Company intends to analyze a possibility to acquire a partner that would help speed up Brand24’s expansion on the foreign markets, especially in US improving the efficiency of client acquisition and allowing for a ‘leap’ of a scale of the Company’s operations (Brand24 doesn’t need funding and it does not look for it either, instead the Company’s aim is to find a partner with a large client base that is compatible with the Company’s solutions and able to provide synergies and cross-selling opportunities). Brand24 plans to end the strategic options review at the latest in the end of this year.
Expected impact: Potentially positive information (depending on the outcome of the strategic review); we would like to remind that in our recent research reports on the Company we continued to indicate a need for Brand24 to look for a new growth “impulse” which could support the growth pace, as the one employed so far (upgrades in the pricing list between 4Q21 and 1Q22) has been already discounted and exhausted.
