The ABL team advising Kogan included partner Jeremy Leibler, lawyer Simone Gould and law graduate Chooi-An Khoo.
As referenced in Kogan’s ASX announcement, the combination of the two market leaders enables Mighty Ape to build on its strong customer offering and provides the infrastructure to further scale its operations. Mighty Ape has more than 690,000 unique customers and over 895,000 subscribers.
In the announcement, Kogan COO and CFO David Shafer said: “We will be drawing on Mighty Ape’s deep experience in gaming, toys, other entertainment product categories and the New Zealand market, and combining this experience with Kogan.com’s sourcing, technology, systems, infrastructure, and marketplace capabilities, to further enhance the group’s already market-leading offering across the Tasman.”
