Integration Update

Kape (AIM: KAPE), the consumer security software business, is pleased to provide an update on the integration of its recently acquired businesses, Intego and ZenMate.

In July 2018, the Group announced the acquisition of Intego, a leading Mac and iOS cybersecurity and malware protection SaaS business, the integration of which is progressing ahead of management expectations.

Management is also pleased to report that initial results from the implementation of Kape's user acquisition technology with Intego has been extremely encouraging and will have a positive impact from Q1 2019.

In addition, Kape has recently launched cross-promotion campaigns between CyberGhost's Virtual Private Network ("VPN") and Intego's Malware protection software, and there are early signs of strong traction across these products with management anticipating seeing benefits to the business in the current year.

In October 2018, Kape acquired ZenMate, a multi-platform security software business with a focus on the provision of VPN solutions, the restructuring of which is now complete. Since acquisition, ZenMate has performed ahead of management's expectations and is expected to be EBITDA enhancing from Q1 2019.

Ido Erlichman, Chief Executive Officer of Kape, commented:

"The strong performance of these businesses since their acquisition further demonstrates our ability to both source and integrate acquisitions that provide synergistic benefits to the Group. We look forward to delivering further improvements as we continue to leverage our customer acquisition methodologies and further broaden our unique user base to generate additional cross-selling opportunities."
