Investing.com - Shares of IronSource (IS) gained Monday after Unity Software (U) rejected AppLovin's (APP) takeover bid as it is "not in the in the best interests of Unity shareholders and would not reasonably be expected to result in a 'Superior Proposal.'"
ironSource (NYSE:IS) shares are currently trading 14.5% above Friday's close. Unity Software Inc (NYSE:U) is down 6%.
Video gaming software company Unity said it conducted a "thorough" evaluation of Applovin 's (NASDAQ:APP) all-stock takeover bid.
"We remain committed to and enthusiastic about Unity's agreement with ironSource and the substantial benefits it will create for our shareholders and Unity creators," said Unity Chief Executive John Riccitiello.
IronSource is set to merge into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Unity via an all-stock deal, which is expected to close during Unity's fourth quarter of 2022.
Following Unity's announcement, IronSource said in a statement: "Together, Unity and ironSource will be stronger, more profitable, and better able to optimize both the Create and Operate sides of the business to deliver everything creators need to succeed."
"The deep synergies driving the ironSource-Unity merger extend across the entirety of both companies' platforms and offerings and underpin our strong financial projections of $1 billion in Adjusted EBITDA by the end of 2024 and $300 million in annual EBITDA synergies by year three."
