Transaction to acquire a majority stake in Nuzo srl, a company active in the digital marketing sector. The company was born during 2021 from the transfer of the activities and brands of two companies, WiB and Up&Up, an operation aimed at improving and expanding the offer of Digital Marketing services. Today Nuzo is led by two visionary entrepreneurs who in a short time have managed to build a group composed of six agencies with high levels of synergies and complementarities, capable of meeting many of the digital needs and requirements of businesses. At the consolidated level in 2023, the Nuzo Group exceeded 6.5mln€ in revenues with over 27% EBITDA margin.

The investment rationales are:

• High growth sector: Nuzo operates in a sector characterized by high growth rates;
• Broad offer: the 6 agencies are able to propose an offer that meets all customer needs;
• Organization: in recent years Nuzo has had a strong internal structure with a data-driven decision-making approach;
• Expansion plans: Nuzo needs financial resources to support growth organically and through acquisitions of other strategic agencies;
• Experienced management: the current partners in the Nuzo group have already demonstrated excellent managerial skills that have enabled them to quickly integrate different entities with each other.

The acquisition of Nuzo will be carried out through Martech s.r.l. , a specially incorporated company. In order to carry out the purchase transaction, Martech will be provided with a mix of financial resources consisting of: 1) the capital raised by IRFK Next through this campaign, 2) an investment from Nuzo's current shareholders, and 3) a bank loan.

Participating in IRFK Next's proposed transaction means joining an extraordinary finance operation led by a team of experts with deep industry knowledge, headed by Paolo Pescetto and Antonello Carlucci, IRFK's president and CEO.

This initiative offers a rare opportunity for participating parties to take part in a true private equity deal, a type of investment usually reserved only for funds or institutional and qualified investors. It is a financial transaction in which a financial player acquires a significant stake or all of the shares in a company. The main objective of the acquisition of Nuzo is to increase its value through growth strategies by both external and internal lines, in order to create value for the company and for the investing partners, thanks to the skills of the current management that will be supported by the IRFK team. Strategies to enhance the value of the stake are to be identified in a potential sale to an industrial player, financial player or IPO.
