PRESS RELEASE

Mavriq continues to grow with the acquisition of Switcho, an Italian platform to search and

select the best energy offers through a fully digital business model

Mavriq S.r.l. ("Mavriq") signed a binding agreement aimed at the acquisition of 80% of the shares of Switcho S.r.l. ("Switcho") from Marco Tricarico, Redi Vyshka, Francesco Laffi (the "Founders") and private investors, among which Azimut. Switcho is a rapidly growing Italian company founded in 2019 to help Italians save on electricity, gas, telephone, and insurance bills. The service has a distinctive fully digital model that performs personalized analyses of energy bills and handles all the bureaucracy associated with the change of supplier on behalf of the customer. Furthermore, Switcho already collaborates with nine of the major Italian banks, which have integrated Switcho's offer into their proprietary apps and channels to offer a distinctive service to their customers. The same partnership model has been implemented with over 200 fintech companies and real estate agencies. The founders will retain 20% of the shares (subject to cross put and call options with Mavriq) and will continue to manage the company into its new phase of growth.

Mavriq, the newborn institutional brand that brings together the brands of Moltiply Group (new name of Gruppo MutuiOnline) active in the online comparison and intermediation of products and services (segment previously known as the "Broking Division"), is among the leading technology companies in the sector at European level. With 19 online comparison brands in 5 countries (among the best known: Segugio, MutuiOnline and Trovaprezzi in Italy, LeLynx in France, Rastreator in Spain and Mexico and Pricewise - in the process of acquisition

  • in the Netherlands), counting more than 250 million annual visits and over 300 million potential customers, Mavriq's businesses in 2023 generated 188.1 M€ of revenues (+44% year on year) and 60.7 M€ of EBITDA (+30% year on year).

With this acquisition, Mavriq continues its expansion (only 6 weeks ago it announced the signing of a binding agreement to purchase 80% of Pricewise in the Netherlands) and strengthens its presence in the Italian market for the distribution of energy and telco contracts. This transaction is in line with Mavriq's mission to bring value to consumers in evaluating and purchasing a wide range of pr oducts and services, while promoting transparency and innovation in target markets . The investment in Switcho represents for Mavriq a further step forward in the evolution of the quality of its offering and its ability to reach and serve new customers, including by integrating Switcho's processes and technologies into other group platforms.
