MeetMe Announces Closing of if(we) Acquisition and Rebrands to The Meet Group

NEW HOPE, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
MeetMe, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEET), a public market leader in the mobile
meeting space, has completed its acquisition of Ifwe Inc., a social and
mobile technology company.

MeetMe expects the acquisition to strengthen its ability to create
shareholder value by expanding its global portfolio of branded meeting
apps for meeting new people. The if(we) acquisition is expected to
contribute $9 million of adjusted EBITDA in the first 12 months
post-close and to provide the combined company with a path forward for
generating $150 million in annualized revenue and $50 million of
adjusted EBITDA.

To better encapsulate the company’s mission to innovate, acquire, and
build the largest mobile portfolio of brands for meeting new people,
MeetMe, Inc. has also changed its name to The Meet Group, Inc.,
effective today. Moving forward, The Meet Group will be the parent
company of the MeetMe, Skout, Tagged, and Hi5 brands, as well as the
vehicle with which the company intends to pursue future acquisitions.

“We are excited to close the acquisition of if(we) and welcome our new
team members and brands to The Meet Group. Our growing portfolio unites
all of our brands with a singular purpose: to meet the universal need
for human connection,” said Geoff Cook, CEO of The Meet Group. “We are
no longer MeetMe, Inc. running a single app, but a global portfolio of
mobile meeting apps that spans ten million monthly active users. As The
Meet Group continues to add brands to its global portfolio that can
leverage our cutting-edge technology for bringing the right people
together and meeting their need for connection, we believe we will build
a solid foundation for long-term growth and shareholder value creation.”

“The Meet Group is larger than dating,” Cook continued. “Our users come
to meet, chat, and hang out. Our communication model is open, and we
believe our revenue model is optimized to retain users longer, not chase
them away with paywalls. We believe the new umbrella brand will better
position the company to consolidate the fragmented mobile meeting
industry into an efficiently run portfolio.”

In connection with closing of the if(we) acquisition, The Meet Group
granted options to purchase an aggregate of up to 75,000 shares of its
common stock and restricted stock awards representing an aggregate of
717,500 shares of common stock to 83 former if(we) employees as an
inducement material to their employment. Each option has a ten-year
term, a three-year vesting period and an exercise price of $5.74 per
share, the closing price per share of the company’s common stock on the
grant date. Each restricted stock award vests one-third each year during
a three-year vesting period. Vesting on both is subject to continued
employment. The grants were approved by the company’s Board of
Directors, including a majority of its independent directors, and were
made in accordance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(c)(4).

  • Expect if(we) to contribute at least $9.0 million of Adjusted EBITDA
    and be accretive to earnings in the first 12 months post-closing.

Geoff Cook, CEO of MeetMe, said, “We believe this combination provides a
clear pathway to $150 million in annualized revenue with adjusted EBITDA
of $50 million for our combined company. We are very excited to add
if(we) and its flagship brands Tagged and hi5 to our portfolio of mobile
apps for meeting and chatting with new people. if(we) brings a sizable
global community, with strength in the US, to our portfolio. Their
mobile apps are experiencing significant revenue growth and we expect
that to accelerate in 2017 as we introduce our best practices around
engagement and monetization. I am excited by the opportunity to work
closely with if(we)’s talented team to accelerate growth and engagement
across our portfolio of brands, which are aimed at meeting the universal
need for human connection.”

“What’s more,” Cook continued, “this announcement comes on the heels of
a very strong period of growth for MeetMe, with total revenue growth of
34 percent in 2016, as reported today, as well as adjusted EBITDA
margins of 39 percent. We believe this acquisition will further build on
this momentum by increasing our scale for monetization and increased
profitability.”

The Company expects that Tagged and hi5 will remain separate brands and
standalone mobile applications following the closing of the acquisition
and if(we) headquarters will remain in San Francisco. The Company has
extended offers of employment to approximately 87 of the company’s 100
employees. Likewise, if(we)’s CEO, Dash Gopinath has agreed to assist
with the transition for one year after the closing.

David Clark, Chief Financial Officer of MeetMe, added, “We expect the
acquisition to close in the second quarter and to be accretive to
earnings and to generate additional free cash flow for MeetMe in the
first twelve months following the closing and beyond. Over time, we
believe that through additional synergies from combining our technology
platforms, optimizing our monetization engine, and cross-promoting to
each user base we can generate additional value from this acquisition.”

The Company expects to fund the acquisition from MeetMe cash on hand and
cash from operations, and from other sources of financing available to
MeetMe, including a $30.0 million bank loan from J.P. Morgan Chase Bank,
N.A. associated with the acquisition.

To support its larger scale, the Company is today announcing a change to
engineering leadership. Skout’s co-founder and CTO Niklas Lindstrom has
joined MeetMe as Chief Technology Officer, to be based in our West Coast
office, and MeetMe’s former CTO Rich Friedman has rejoined the company
as SVP Engineering, to be based in our East Coast location. Mr.
Lindstrom replaces MeetMe’s former Chief Technology Officer, Jonah
Harris, who has agreed to remain with the Company and assist with the
transition over the coming months.

On February 28, 2017, the Company granted stock options to purchase an
aggregate of up to 500,000 shares of its common stock and restricted
stock awards representing an aggregate of 300,000 shares of common stock
to Messrs. Lindstrom and Friedman as an inducement material to their
employment. Each option has a ten-year term, a three-year vesting
period, subject to continued employment, and an exercise price of $4.83
per share, the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on
the grant date. Each restricted stock award vests one-third each year
during a three-year vesting period. Vesting on both are subject to
continued employment. The grants were approved by the Company’s Board of
Directors, including a majority of its independent directors, and were
made in accordance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(c)(4).

Canaccord Genuity is serving as financial advisor and Morgan, Lewis &
Bockius LLP is serving as legal counsel to MeetMe.

Regulation G – Non-GAAP Measures

The Company defines mobile traffic and engagement metrics (including
MAU, DAU, chats per day, and new users per day) to include mobile app
traffic for all properties and mobile web traffic for MeetMe and Skout.

The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP Net Income, which are not
calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles (“GAAP”), in evaluating its financial and
operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to period
comparison. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures for
financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate
period-to-period comparisons. The Company presents these non-GAAP
financial measures because it believes them to be an important
supplemental measure of performance that is commonly used by securities
analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of
companies in our industry. We refer you to the reconciliations below.

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings (or loss) from
operations before interest expense, benefit or provision for income
taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, warrant
obligations, non-recurring acquisition, restructuring or other expenses,
gain or loss on cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment, gain
on sale of asset, bad debt expense outside the normal range, and
goodwill and long-lived asset impairment charges. The Company excludes
stock-based compensation because it is non-cash in nature. The Company
defines Non-GAAP Net Income as earnings (or loss) before benefit or
provision for income taxes, amortization of intangibles, non-recurring
acquisition and restructuring costs, bad debt expense outside the normal
range, and non-cash stock based compensation.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative
to net income, operating income, cash flow from operating activities, as
a measure of liquidity or any other financial measure. They may not be
indicative of the historical operating results of the Company nor is it
intended to be predictive of potential future results. Investors should
not consider non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as a substitute
for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

MeetMe Launches Seamless Cross-Platform Chat between Skout & MeetMe Applications

NEW HOPE, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
MeetMe,
Inc. (NASDAQ: MEET), a public market leader for social discovery, today
announced it has begun rolling out new functionality that enables the
user bases of its two primary apps, MeetMe and Skout, to chat with each
other seamlessly. With the completion of this latest rollout, users will
be able to browse the combined user bases, view profiles and photos from
both apps, and chat between the two platforms. MeetMe intends to
complete the rollout across its mobile applications over the next month.

When the rollout is complete, MeetMe users will be able to chat with 60%
more users, and Skout users will be able to chat with 162% more users
than they were previously able to on MeetMe or Skout alone. The company
believes this increase in user density has global implications, as Skout
has an 80% international audience and a sizeable presence in a number of
non-English speaking markets that MeetMe also serves.

“This release is another key milestone in our plan to maximize the
potential of the Skout acquisition and lay the groundwork for others to
come,” said Geoff Cook, CEO of MeetMe. “Most importantly, though, we
believe it improves our users’ experience in a very real way by adding
more people to chat with and meet. We believe this substantial increase
in user density may lead to higher engagement and more sessions per day,
as users will be able to find better, more relevant matches.”
