Stockholm, Sweden – Sinch AB (publ) – XSTO: SINCH

Sinch AB (publ), a global leader in cloud communications for mobile customer engagement, today announces that it has been granted regulatory approval for the acquisition of Wavy from the Superintendence-General of CADE, Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Econômica, which is the competition authority in Brazil.

Closing of the transaction can take place after a 15-day waiting period and final confirmation from CADE. Closing is hence expected to take place in early 2021. 

Sinch announced the acquisition of Wavy on 26 March, 2020. The acquisition is financed through a combination of cash and debt facilities. Upon closing, Sinch pays Movile a cash consideration of BRL 355 million and 1,534,582 new Sinch shares, issued through an issue in-kind, and welcomes Brazil-based Movile as a new key shareholder. This implies that the number of shares in Sinch rises to 64,708,252, which is an increase of around 2.4 percent.

Sinch has a financial target to maintain net debt/adjusted EBITDA below 2.5x over time. In anticipation of upcoming transactions, Sinch had a net cash position in Q3 2020 with net debt/adjusted EBITDA of -1.2x. The acquisition of SAP Digital Interconnect (SDI) closed on November 1, and on 30 November, Sinch completed a directed new share issue of 3,187,736 shares. On a pro forma basis, Net debt/Adjusted EBITDA would have been -1.3x at the end of Q3 2020 if the acquisitions of SDI and Wavy and the directed new share issue had been completed already at this point. This calculation of pro forma Net debt/Adjusted EBITDA includes Adjusted EBITDA in acquired entities over the past 12 months.

Operational Update – Kyalla 117 N2-1H ST2

24 December 2020 – Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. (TSXV: FO, AIM: FOG) provides an update on exploration activity with respect to Kyalla 117 N2-1H ST2 well (“Kyalla 117”) in the Beetaloo Sub-basin, Northern Territory, Australia.

As announced on 10 December 2020, the JV decided to execute operations without delay to re-enter Kyalla 117 with coiled tubing and apply nitrogen lift to lower the pressure in the wellbore and to assist with achieving and sustaining gas breakthrough. If successful, this would allow extended production testing to commence.

The coiled tubing unit and all necessary consumables have arrived at the wellsite and the rigging up of the equipment is in progress. Nitrogen lift operations are expected to commence in the next few days.

Further updates will be provided to the market as appropriate.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Twenty years after its inception, Imitation of Christ made its long-awaited return to the fashion world – and in an unprecedented one at that. In September of 2020 founder, Tara Subkoff decided to return to NYFW with a guerilla screening of her SS21 Collection in the streets of NYC. Staying true to the brand’s upcycling roots – the brand partnered with leading luxury consignment platform, The RealReal, to take existing garments and repurpose them creating pieces that are completely their own.

With 2020 being quite the year, Tara Subkoff, teamed with sisters Martha Plimpton and Sorel Carradine, gathered a small crew to brave the LA lockdown to create a fun piece for the holidays titled, TOGETHERNESS. Her Christmas card to you! To coincide with the debut of the film, Imitation of Christ has a small holiday collection up on The RealReal site that is available for purchase HERE. In the film, we are taken on a workout journey with Sorel as she chants “Imitation of Christ” while she works out in front of some of LA’s most festive scenery while wearing an Imitation of Christ holiday tracksuit.

Going meta, the IOC film plays on this year’s interruption of content. As we are always viewing content on our phones and having advertising pop up interrupting what we are seeing, we thought we would just include our own within the film! -says Subkoff.

ABOUT THE VIDEO FROM TARA SUBKOFF:

Tara Subkoff met Sorel years ago after taking a group Pilates class, where a professional relationship grew into a friendship. She has been the best teacher I’ve ever had and the most dynamic. -says Subkoff

Being a talented actress and comedian, and happens to be Martha Plimpton‘s sister, Subkoff asked Carradine “Hey Sorel have you and your sister ever worked together on a film … or in ANYTHING??” She replied, “No .. we never have.” It was so fun to shoot and create. I’m truly appreciative of the small crew we mustered together, taking their COVID tests before, and went out in full lock down to create and make a little piece for the holidays.
