\tAppLovin submitted a $17.5 billion bid to acquire rival Unity Software, a tie up it explained was designed to create a market leading business for developers and provide a boost to the mobile gaming sector.<\/p>\n

In a statement, AppLovin detailed it had offered $58.85 per share in Unity, a premium of 18 per cent on its closing price on 8 August, which would give it a 55 per cent stake in a proposed combined company and 49 per cent voting rights.<\/p>\n

If the deal is accepted, AppLovin claimed it would create a business with \u201csubstantial revenue growth, cash flow and operational efficiencies that are well beyond each company\u2019s potential standalone performance\u201d.<\/p>\n

Unity and AppLovin each create software for mobile gaming, with the former\u2019s technology used for popular titles including Call of Duty Mobile and Pokemon Go.<\/p>\n

AppLovin also provides services for developers to grow their platforms and generate revenue.<\/p>\n

In an apparent push to get the deal accepted, AppLovin claimed its track record \u201cas a leader\u201d in growth and monetisation for app developers left it better positioned than any other company to develop an end-to-end platform with Unity.<\/p>\n

It added it runs its software business at a high margin and there would be \u201csubstantial infrastructure savings and other efficiencies of scale for a combined business”.<\/p>\n

Separately, Unity has already struck a deal to acquire smaller rival ironSource for $4.4 billion. AppLovin stated the deal would have to be terminated should its own bid proceed.<\/p>\n

AppLovin further proposed Unity\u2019s CEO John Riccitiello becomes the combined company\u2019s CEO, while its chief Adam Foroughi is named COO.<\/p>\n

Unity\u2019s board is now evaluating the proposal.<\/p>\n\n
