Συγχώνευση των Norton και Avast

[nnn]

Την συγχώνευση τους σε μια νέα μεγαλύτερη εταιρεία κυβερνοασφαλείας, με απόκτηση όλων των περιουσιακών στοιχείων της Avast, από την Norton (NortonLifelock), ανακοίνωσαν οι δύο εταιρείες. Η συμφωνία αξίας 8 δισεκατομμυρίων δολαρίων, αναμένεται να κάνει διαθέσιμες τις λύσεις ασφαλείας της κοινής νέας εταιρείας, σε πάνω από 500 εκατομμύρια χρήστες.

“This transaction is a huge step forward for consumer Cyber Safety and will ultimately enable us to achieve our vision to protect and empower people to live their digital lives safely,” said Vincent Pilette, Chief Executive Officer of NortonLifeLock. “With this combination, we can strengthen our Cyber Safety platform and make it available to more than 500 million users. We will also have the ability to further accelerate innovation to transform Cyber Safety.”

“At a time when global cyber threats are growing, yet cyber safety penetration remains very low, together with NortonLifeLock, we will be able to accelerate our shared vision of providing holistic cyber protection for consumers around the globe,” said Ondřej Vlček, Chief Executive Officer of Avast. “Our talented teams will have better opportunities to innovate and develop enhanced solutions and services, with improved capabilities from access to superior data insights. Through our well-established brands, greater geographic diversification and access to a larger global user base, the combined businesses will be poised to access the significant growth opportunity that exists worldwide.”

Strategic and Financial Benefits

• Accelerates the transformation of consumer Cyber Safety with over 500 million users;
• Combines Avast’s strength in privacy and NortonLifeLock’s strength in identity, creating a broad and complementary product portfolio, beyond core security and towards adjacent trust-based solutions;
• Strengthens geographic diversification and facilitates expansion into the SOHO / VSB segments;
• Unlocks significant value creation through approximately USD 280 million of annual gross cost synergies1, with additional upside potential from new reinvestment capacity for innovation and growth;
• Brings together two strong and highly experienced consumer-focused management teams.
• The Merger will also enhance the financial profile of the combined company through increased scale, long-term growth, cost synergies with reinvestment capacity and strong cash flow generation supported by a resilient balance sheet, and is expected to drive double-digit EPS accretion within the first full year following completion of the Merger and double-digit revenue growth in the long-term.
