Glimpse Group VRAR is set to acquire 5 Digital (S5D), a leading immersive technology company. S5D helps companies transform their brands by creating innovative digital content.
The Glimpse Group, Inc is a diversified Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) software and services solutions provider.
What Happened: Glimpse will pay a total purchase price of $27 million with an initial payment of $8 million ($4 million cash and $4 million shares). The purchase price involves an earnout of $19 million or 70% of the total purchase price based on revenue growth milestones over three years.
Out of the total purchase price, up to $6 million or 22% is in cash, and $21 million or 78% is in shares, priced at the time of issuance over the next three years subject to earnout accomplishment.
Why It Matters: S5D looks to earn a revenue of over $4.0 million in CY21, up 33% year-on-year. S5D sees CY21 margins of 55%-60%.
The transaction looks to double Glimpse’s pre-acquisition annual revenue, placing it on a $10 million annual revenue run rate trajectory.
It aims to solidify Glimpse’s operating base, generate compelling go-to-market synergies, and deepen Glimpse’s robust ecosystem of VR/AR companies and expertise.
S5D CEO Jeff Meisner will continue as its General Manager and join as Chief Revenue Officer. Meisner will also join Glimpse’s board as a non-independent director.
