    HYDRA INDUSTRIES ACQUISITION CORP. ENTERS INTO AGREEMENT TO ACQUIRE INSPIRED GAMING GROUP - New York, New York and London, United Kingdom, July 14, 2016 / PRNewswire/ -- Hydra Industries Acquisition Corp. (“Hydra”) (NASDAQ: HDRA, HDRAU, HDRAW, HDRAR), a special purpose acquisition company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, acquisition or similar business combination, announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire London based Inspired Gaming Group and its affiliates (“Inspired” or the “Company”) from funds managed by Vitruvian Partners LLP (a London headquartered private equity firm), and its co-investors (collectively, the “Seller Group”). The transaction reflects a valuation for Inspired of £200 million, including the Company’s indebtedness, but excluding transaction expenses as well as the impact of Hydra’s sponsor shares and subject to certain closing adjustments. Based on the current USD/GBP exchange rate1 the equivalent transaction value is $264 million. Inspired’s fiscal year end September 2016 Revenue and EBITDA are estimated to be $110 million and $38 million, respectively2, with the potential to grow meaningfully, driven by a backlog of recurring revenue contracts. Consideration paid to the Seller Group for their interests in the Company will consist of cash available at closing after transaction expenses, and Hydra common shares issued at a price of $10.00 per share. The Seller Group may receive additional common shares as further consideration, depending on future performance. The cash component of the transaction will be funded by a $20 million private placement from Macquarie Capital in addition to Hydra’s cash in trust, which is currently approximately $80 million.
