cyan further expands its presence in Latin America and closes largest licensing agreement in cyan’s history with ACN Group / Flash Mobile

• Sale of 60 million new MVNO / Security licenses
• Covers current operations in Colombia and Mexico as well as future expansions in Latin America
• Launches in Peru in early 2020, as part of ACN’s strategic plan to aggressively grow in the region
• Significant revenue contribution for cyan, beginning in the fiscal year 2019

Munich, 13 November, 2019 – cyan and ACN (Flash Mobile) have built upon their existing collaboration and signed a contract for 60 million end customer licenses. cyan provides the technology and embedded security features required to operate an MVNO, while Flash Mobile focuses on sales and marketing to its end customers.

The ACN Group is already represented in the Colombian and Mexican markets with its Flash Mobile brand and is now planning to enter Peru and other Latin American markets. As part of this expansion, the partnership with cyan has been significantly stepped up via an extended license agreement. The contract will generate a significant revenue contribution for cyan, beginning in the fiscal year 2019.

Peter Arnoth, CEO cyan AG: “We are very pleased to have won Flash Mobile for this long-term contract. This is a great vote of confidence for cyan’s “all-in” product range and underlines our strategic orientation. The license agreement enables us to significantly expand our presence in the rapidly growing Latin American markets. Furthermore, the strengthened relationship with ACN emphasizes once again the strong growth opportunities for cyan, particularly outside of Europe.”

To fully capitalize on such growth opportunities, the management board of cyan AG has decided to evaluate potential options regarding its US Expansion Strategy. In this context, Lazard has already been mandated as an adviser.
