During a period of exclusivity we already engaged with our global network, and are thus in an advanced position to negotiate a publishing deal,<\/em>\u201d says Marcus Teilman, President and CEO.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe transaction structure provides both seller and buyer with strong incentives to give Fragbite Group opportunities over time to grow significantly faster than the market and achieve substantial profitability.

In 2024, Fall Damage is releasing ALARA Prime, a tactical First Person Shooter game that, after extensive successful playtesting, is expected to attract a significant player base on the global FPS market. More than SEK 180 million has been invested in the game to date, and the title is expected to give Fragbite Group an accelerated growth rate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>We have an extremely dedicated and professional team that now gets the opportunity to become part of a growing group, within which we can take on all the opportunities that the gaming market offers. On the basis of shared values and view of the future for Fall Damage, we have established a transaction structure that is beneficial to all parties and enables us to move forward with a new global publisher. Today is the start of an exciting journey for us together in Fragbite Group, where the first step consists of completing ALARA Prime and taking it to market,\u201d <\/em>says Anders Gyllenberg, CEO, Fall Damage<em>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Acquisition terms<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wysiwyg-list\">\n<li>Fragbite Group is acquiring all outstanding shares in Fall Damage for an initial purchase price of SEK 20 million, out of which SEK 10 million is paid in cash to an external institutional owner and SEK 10 million with 4,291,845 newly issued shares at a subscription price of SEK 2.33 per share, which are issued to the four founding members of Fall Damage Holding AB (\u201c<strong>The Founders<\/strong>\u201d).
