The Company invested substantial resources to establish an innovative streaming platform to provide high-quality content to its valued customers. However, in line with its new strategic direction and renewed emphasis on its core mobility sector, the Company has decided to refine its business focus and reallocate its resources accordingly.
As a result, MCOM has taken the difficult but necessary decision to conclude its streaming contracts for the 3rd season 2023-2024 of League Serie B. This decision was made after careful consideration and evaluation of the Company's priorities and long-term objectives. By terminating the contracts, MCOM will achieve significant cost savings amounting to over EUR 14 million, enabling the Company to explore new opportunities and invest in strategic initiatives such as mergers and acquisitions.
