Amsterdam – 2 February 2022 – Euronext today congratulates Azerion, a digital entertainment and media company, on its listing on Euronext Amsterdam (ticker code: AZRN).

Azerion is one of Europe’s leading digital entertainment and media platforms, combining owned and operated content. The company was listed through a business combination transaction with European FinTech Company 1 (‘EFIC1’), a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) that was welcomed to Euronext on 26 March 2021.

EFIC1 will provide Azerion with approximately €93 million to finance its strategic growth ambitions, which will be used both to pursue value-accretive acquisitions and to further invest in organic growth initiatives, such as games and features or platform investments.

With this transaction, EFIC1 and Azerion are closing the first business combination of the 22 SPACs that listed on Euronext in 2021.

Atilla Aytekin, co-founder and co-CEO of Azerion said: "Today marks an important step for Azerion, and we are excited to finally enter the public markets and continue to grow and advance our platform whilst raising our profile amongst our customer and partner groups and talented workforce globally. We are proud to achieve this important milestone, and we look forward to our next growth phase and future as a public company.
