OTEC Otello Corp ASA

Sand Grove Announces the Publication of Presentation and Website Providing Further Information on Proposed Changes to the Board and Nomination Committee of Otello

On 4 August 2020 Sand Grove Capital Management LLP (“Sand Grove”), which owns or has economic interest in shares representing approximately 25.4% of the common stock of Otello Corporation ASA (the “Company” or “Otello”), requested that the Company’s Board of Directors convene an Extraordinary General Meeting (“EGM”) to vote on proposed changes to the Board and Nomination Committee.

Today Sand Grove announces that it is publishing a presentation to provide further information to market participants regarding the reasons for the proposed changes to the Board of Directors and Nomination Committee of the Company. The presentation with further information can be found at .

Sand Grove believes that the proposed changes are essential for Otello. The experienced and professional Board candidates will have the requisite time, ability and experience to support the current management team to set and achieve strategic goals for the Company. The candidates are independent of Sand Grove and will be focused on unlocking the inherent value in the Company’s assets for all shareholders.

Shareholders are encouraged to visit the website to learn more about the reasons for Sand Grove’s proposals and why they should vote for the proposed changes at the upcoming EGM.

Otello (Buy, TP: NOK48.00) - AdColony proceeds not reflected

While Otello’s share price has re-rated somewhat following the announced agreement to sell AdColony to Digital Turbine, in our view the market has yet to fully reflect the underlying value of Otello’s holdings or the implications of the proceeds to be raised from the sale. Following the AdColony trading update, we have raised our estimates and lifted our target price to NOK48 (40) to reflect the bid. We reiterate our BUY.

Otello (Buy, TP: NOK40.00) - Bemobi listed; poised for rise

Bemobi finally listed, albeit with a valuation significantly below our assessment. Regardless, we continue to see significant upside potential to Bemobi’s valuation, as well as solid value uplift inherent in AdColony and Vewd. With Bemobi now listed on the B3, we see the Otello case as de-risked, and still likely to re-rate. We reiterate our BUY with a lowered NOK40 (43) target price.
