Affle acquires Perion Network for $420m

Affle International agreed to acquire Perion Network for $420m, or $11.70 per share, a 34.5% premium. The deal, expected to close in early 2027, will delist Perion from Nasdaq and TASE. Perion's market cap has fallen 82% since April 2023. Microsoft's policy changes hurt Perion's revenue. Both CEOs expressed optimism about the strategic fit.
