HERZLIYA, Israel, October 30, 2023 (Globe Newswire) — Nayax Ltd. (Nasdaq: NYAX; TASE: NYAX), a global commerce enablement payments and loyalty platform designed to help merchants scale their business, today announced that it will acquire 100% of Retail Pro International (“Retail Pro”), a global leader in retail Point of Sale (“POS”) software with Tier 1 global brand names across the world.

ecosystem of over 80 distributors.
The purchase price for the transaction represents an implied enterprise value of $36.5 million on a cash-free debt-free basis, to
be paid partially in cash and the remainder in cash or equity, subject to certain earnout targets being met. Management expects that following the closing, the acquisition will be immediately accretive to net income. The closing is expected to be in
Q4 2023, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
“Throughout their 30+ year brand history, Retail Pro has built a full featured, flexible product, capable of handling the complex,
global retail environment. This has resulted in their powerful brand recognition as a premier retail management solution for Tier 1 global retailers,” said Yair Nechmad, Nayax Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. “We are pleased to be
joining forces with Retail Pro’s talented expert team. Our combined businesses, together with Retail Pro’s 80 distributors, will triple our access to the global attended retail market and create a powerful and complete solution with Nayax’s payment
and loyalty platform. We believe this combined offering will result in an unrivalled value of innovative retail solutions.”
“We are pleased to be part of a great company like Nayax, which shares our dedication to continued product innovation and customer
experience,” said Kerry Lemos, Chief Executive Officer of Retail Pro. “Over the years, customers have come to trust our robust technology platform to optimize their complex retail operations. As part of a larger, multinational organization, we can
continue to deliver on that mission on a much larger scale. We look forward to working closely together with Nayax’s team, as this coalition represents an ideal fit and strong win for our customers, partners, and employees globally.”
