Thinc Collective divests its entire shareholding in Brand Arena Nordic Group Agency AB

Thinc Collective AB (publ) (“Thinc”) announces that the company has entered into a share transfer agreement for the sale of its holding of 30 percent of the outstanding shares in Brand Arena Nordic Group Agency AB (“BANG”). The fixed purchase price for the shares amounts to approximately SEK 6 million, which corresponds to Thinc’s book value of the holding.

The transaction will also mean that Thinc will receive dividends on the shares in BANG for the financial year 2025, as well as part of the profit for the period January–March 2026. The shares will be transferred on April 1, 2026.

Payment will be made in cash of SEK 2 million and the remainder through an interest-bearing two-year loan. The deal is expected to provide Thinc with a positive liquidity contribution and the aforementioned profit impact for 2025 and the first quarter of 2026.

The acquisition of BANG was completed in spring 2024 with the aim of broadening Thinc's service offering, mainly within brand experience, and strengthening the company's presence in the Stockholm region. The ambition was for the operations to be co-located in Stockholm.

As the expected synergies have not been realized according to plan, and as BANG's main owner has chosen not to implement the co-location with Thinc's other operations, Thinc has decided to divest the shares to the previous owners. The sale is taking place after the previous owners have submitted bids for the shares and is being carried out by mutual agreement between the parties.

In connection with the transaction, the parties have also entered into a cooperation agreement to manage existing and future joint customers.
