1 Pro-forma results show the financials of the Group as if Heyzap had been acquired on 1 January 2015 2 Results adjusted to exclude separately disclosed items as explained in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report 2015 Andreas Bodczek, CEO of RNTS Media, commented: "At the end of May, the position of the company could hardly be more torn: We have achieved a strong revenue performance in the first quarter, during which the mobile advertising technology market delivered superior growth rates in comparison to the wider ad tech industry and Heyzap, the acquisition closed in January, has performed very strongly. At the same time, we could not expect that neither the fully subscribed EUR50m convertible bonds tap issue, nor the alternative funding structure that we had created would be available as per agreement. We will continue to pursue these two options with undivided focus, but without these funds, we will not be able to close the Inneractive transaction announced in March and thus would have to fully review our strategic positioning and growth path. "Should Inneractive not be closed by 5 June 2016, the deal is likely to be lost. We will then release an updated financial outlook in due course, with the expectation for it to be significantly lower than previously disclosed." About RNTS Media N.V.
