Intouch Insight Ltd. To Acquire A Customer Experience Measurement Company

OTTAWA, Canada May 13, 2021 – Intouch Insight Ltd. (“Intouch” or the “Company”) (TSXV: INX) (OTCQX: INXSF) today announces that on May 12th it has signed a non-binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) to purchase the assets of an arm’s length North American customer experience measurement company (the “Vendor”), subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval (the “Acquisition”). For reasons of competition and privacy Intouch will not disclose the name of the Vendor until the completion of a definitive agreement. The targeted closing date is September 1, 2021. The Vendor has approximately USD $5.0M in revenues with a gross margin of 41%.

Intouch had announced a previous non-binding LOI with the same Vendor in February of 2020 which was subsequently lapsed due to the global pandemic. The terms of the LOI have been adjusted to reflect changes in circumstances over the last year. The purchase price is USD $1.6M in cash and 1.5M common shares of Intouch upon closing and additional contingency payments expected to be USD $1.1M paid in cash based on performance for two years post-closing. The transaction should be immediately accretive and Intouch intends to pay for the Acquisition from a combination of cash on hand, bank debt financing, and ongoing cash flows generated from the Vendor’s ongoing business. Intouch will not be assuming any long-term debt from the Vendor, nor will it pay any finder’s fees.

“Getting this Acquisition back on track is a positive signal that business is returning to its pre-pandemic state. The Vendor’s business has weathered the storm and, like Intouch, is now very close to a full recovery. This Acquisition brings with it additional geographic dispersion and a client base consisting of household name brands to whom we can target sales of our robust suite of SaaS products. In addition, there are significant revenues synergistic with our own and a wealth of experience and knowledge through its competent management team and employee base. In fact, as part of the Acquisition the Vendor’s founder will stay on as a full-time member of the Intouch team to ensure that we best leverage the Acquisition for additional growth,” said Cameron Watt, President and CEO of Intouch.

“The large investment we have made in technological superiority is beginning to be recognized and, as this is a barrier for many other organizations in the industry, Intouch has become an attractive acquirer,” said Watt.
