28 February 2024
Nexxen International Ltd
("Nexxen" or the "Company")
Nexxen Reaches Favorable Settlement Agreement with Alphonso Inc. and LG
Electronics, Inc. and Enters into Multi-Year Strategic Partnership
Alphonso to adopt Nexxen's data-driven tools, with Nexxen gaining access to LG
Electronics' premium streaming inventory
Nexxen International Ltd. (AIM/NASDAQ: NEXN) ("Nexxen" or the "Company"), a
global, unified advertising technology platform with deep expertise in video
and Connected TV ("CTV"), today announced it has reached a settlement
agreement and launched a three-year strategic partnership with Alphonso Inc.
and LG Electronics, Inc. ("LGE").
The executed settlement agreement includes a cash component and a commercial
strategic partnership that resolves the disputes underlying the complaints,
thus concluding the parties' litigation.
Alphonso will grant Nexxen access to monetize a portion of LG's premium CTV
inventory and will also leverage Nexxen's data-driven discovery and
segmentation tools.
"This agreement marks the start of a strategic partnership between two global
leaders in the CTV sphere. Nexxen's access to LG's CTV media is a boon for
advertisers looking for engaged audiences, unique reach, and global scale
across millions of screens. In turn, Nexxen's platform and data-driven tools
augment LG's own advertising, unlocking unique insights to drive more precise
and actionable campaign strategies. I look forward to building a solid
strategic partnership between our companies and am pleased to have put these
legal issues behind us," said Ofer Druker, CEO of Nexxen International.
"We are happy to have resolved these legal issues and to provide Nexxen access
to some of our premium owned and operated inventory on LG Channels," said
Serge Matta, President of Global Ad Sales at Alphonso. "We are pleased to
focus on cooperation over the coming years."
