Cineverse (NASDAQ: CNVS) acquires IndiCue and raises $13M via 9% convertible notes

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Cineverse Corp. signed a stock purchase agreement to acquire all equity of IndiCue, a connected TV monetization platform, for $22.0 million in base consideration plus up to $18.0 million in performance-based earnouts, for total potential consideration of $40.0 million. The base price includes $12.8 million in cash at closing and $9.2 million in Class A common stock, with stock issued on the first anniversary of closing at a price tied to the 5‑day VWAP or Nasdaq Minimum Price.

To help fund the deal and working capital, Cineverse issued $13.0 million of 9% convertible notes maturing in four years, convertible into common stock at $2.00 per share and junior to existing secured debt. IndiCue is expected to generate about $38 million of revenue and $9.6 million of EBITDA in 2026, and Cineverse outlined a path to $115–$120 million in revenue and $10–$20 million in adjusted EBITDA in fiscal 2027 as it shifts toward higher‑margin, recurring technology revenue.

Positive

• Transformational ad-tech acquisition with strong margins: Cineverse is acquiring IndiCue for up to $40.0 million, adding a CTV monetization platform expected to generate about $38 million revenue and $9.6 million EBITDA in 2026, implying a 25% EBITDA margin and immediate accretion at close.
• Ambitious growth and profitability targets: The company outlines a path to $115–$120 million in revenue and $10–$20 million in adjusted EBITDA in fiscal 2027, reflecting a shift toward scalable, recurring technology and infrastructure economics.

Negative

• New high-coupon convertible debt and dilution risk: Cineverse issued $13.0 million of 9% convertible notes at a $2.00 conversion price, junior to existing secured debt, adding leverage and potential equity dilution through investor conversions or warrant issuance upon prepayment.

Insights

Equity analyst – media & technology

Cineverse makes a sizable ad-tech acquisition funded with new convertible debt, aiming for higher-margin, recurring tech revenue.

Cineverse is buying IndiCue for $22.0 million in base consideration plus up to $18.0 million in earnouts, positioning it as an integrated streaming infrastructure and monetization platform. IndiCue is projected to deliver about $38 million revenue and $9.6 million EBITDA in 2026, implying a healthy 25% EBITDA margin.

The company issued $13.0 million of 9% convertible notes at a $2.00 conversion price, junior to existing secured debt, which introduces interest expense and potential future dilution. Notes can be converted at investor option, or forced by Cineverse in tranches, and may be prepaid with additional warrant issuance.

Management frames the transaction as transformational, targeting fiscal 2027 revenue of $115–$120 million and adjusted EBITDA of $10–$20 million. Actual outcomes will depend on successful integration of IndiCue, performance against earnout milestones, and how much of the convertible notes ultimately convert to equity versus remaining as debt.

IndiCue Acquisition

On February 13, 2026 (the “Closing Date”), Cineverse Corp. (the “Company”) purchased all of the issued and outstanding equity securities (the “Acquisition”) of IndiCue, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“IndiCue”), a next-generation CTV monetization and engagement platform, built for media owners, publishers, and streaming platforms that want full control over their Connected TV advertising (the “IndiCue Business”), pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated February 12, 2026, by and among the Company, John Marchesini, Nicholas Frazee, Michael Wanetik, Iurii Gorokhov, Kyrylo Shkodkin and Adtelligent Holdings Limited (collectively, the “Sellers”).

The purchase price for the Acquisition was $22,000,000, subject to working capital and other adjustments, consisting of (i) $12,800,000 in cash at closing and (ii) $9,200,0000 in Class A Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”), at a per share price equal to the greater, as of the date of the Purchase Agreement, of (A) the 5 day VWAP and (B) the Nasdaq Minimum Price, on the first anniversary of the closing, or earlier under certain circumstances. In addition, the Company will pay the Sellers certain post-closing earnout amounts (if any) based on Indicue’s achievement of certain revenue growth targets and gross margin targets, payable in cash or shares of common stock under certain circumstances. The Agreement includes certain restrictive covenants of the Sellers, including noncompetition provisions.

Concurrently with the closing of the Acquisition, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the “IndiCue Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Sellers, pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement for the resale of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the IndiCue Registration Rights Agreement) with the SEC.

The Purchase Agreement includes standard indemnification provisions, and a number of other covenants and agreements of the parties concerning the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, including concerning cooperation and assistance, confidentiality, and compliance with laws.

The foregoing does not purport to be a complete description of each of the Purchase Agreement and the IndiCue Registration Rights Agreement and each such description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of each such document, forms of which are filed as Exhibit 10.1 and 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

Convertible Notes

On February 12, 2026, the Company issued and sold convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $13,000,000 (each, a “Note”) to certain lenders (individually, an “Investor” and collectively, the “Investors”) pursuant to those certain note purchase agreements (each, a “Purchase Agreement”), dated February 12, 2026, between the Company and each Investor.

The Notes mature on the earlier to occur of (i) the four year anniversary of issuance and (ii) an event of default (such date, the “Maturity Date”). The Notes bear interest at a rate of 9% per annum payable in cash or, as to a portion, in shares of Common Stock in the holder’s discretion.

At any time after issuance of the Notes, the Investors may convert their Notes, in whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock, in accordance with the terms of the Notes at a conversion price per share of $2.00 (the “Conversion Price”), subject to customary adjustments upon any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or similar events. The Company can require conversion in tranches of up to approximately 15% of the original principal amount of the Notes during each of the six-month periods beginning July 1, 2026 and ending December 31, 2028, with any unconverted tranches available on a cumulative basis in future tranches.

The Notes may be prepaid by paying 100% of the outstanding principal amount, interest on the outstanding principal amount through the earlier of the Maturity Date or the date that is 24 months from the date of prepayment, and warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock into which the principal amount then outstanding would be convertible at the Conversion Price, with such warrants having an exercise price equal to such Conversion Price and a term that ends on the Maturity Date.

The Notes rank junior to secured debt of the Company, including the Second Amended and Restated Loan, Guaranty, and Security Agreement, dated as of April 8, 2025, by and among East West Bank (the “Existing Lender”), the Company and the Guarantors party thereto.

The Purchase Agreements provide customary representations, warranties, and covenants of the Company and the Investors. The Notes also contain standard and customary events of default. Upon a change of control, as defined in the Notes, the Investors will receive 120% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes unless the Investors elect to receive consideration in the Change of Control on an as-converted basis in lieu of the cash payment. Part of the proceeds from the sale of the Notes were used to fund the cash portion of the purchase price of the Acquisition.

The Investors have the right to designate one non-voting observer to the Company’s Board of Directors under certain limited circumstances.

Concurrently with the closing of the sale of the Notes, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Notes Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement for the resale of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) with the SEC.

The securities were offered pursuant to the exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and applicable state securities laws.

The Benchmark Company, LLC (the “Placement Agent”) acted as the sole placement agent for sale of the Notes.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Cineverse Acquires Profitable Connected TV Monetization Platform IndiCue in Transformational Deal, Expanding High-Margin Infrastructure that Powers Modern Content Distribution

Establishes Clear Path to $115-$120 Million in Revenue and $10-$20 Million in Adjusted EBITDA in Fiscal Year 2027 Commencing April 1, 2026 (1)

Accelerates Transition to Majority Technology Revenue Through Scalable, Recurring Infrastructure Economics

Transaction Financed by Existing Long-Term Shareholders

LOS ANGELES, February 13, 2026 - Cineverse Corp. (Nasdaq: CNVS) today announced the acquisition of IndiCue, Inc., a profitable advertising technology company, achieving a major milestone in Cineverse’s evolution into a streaming infrastructure company — building and operating the systems that power how content is distributed and monetized across the global video streaming ecosystem.

The acquisition integrates IndiCue’s advertising and monetization capabilities directly into Cineverse’s award-winning Matchpoint^® platform, enabling Cineverse to operate a unified system spanning content preparation, distribution, monetization, reporting, and real-time performance optimization across FAST, AVOD, Connected TV (CTV), and all ad-supported streaming environments.

With this integration, Cineverse moves beyond passive distribution and reporting by gaining the ability to actively improve how content generates advertising revenue in real-time, responding dynamically to viewer behavior and market demand.

This deal, following the recently announced acquisition of Giant Worldwide by Cineverse, exemplifies the Company’s continued strategic and disciplined approach to value creation for shareholders. It continues to focus on identifying companies with strong recurring revenue at attractive valuations, then enhancing their revenue potential by converting them to the modern era by implementing automation and system-level optimization that drive scale with software-like profit margins, while operating essential media and advertising infrastructure.

“This represents a key leap forward for Cineverse, with IndiCue adding a strategically important monetization component that, when combined with our existing Matchpoint platform suite, gives us a near end-to-end technology platform whose high level of automation provides a significant competitive advantage by dramatically lowering costs while providing higher operational efficiency than any competitor out there,” said Cineverse Chairman and CEO Chris McGurk.

He added, “The acquisitions of IndiCue and Giant Worldwide have largely completed our strategy to build a comprehensive, scalable infrastructure solution for the entertainment industry, and transform our company, which – alongside our studio operations – is now in position to thrive, with a strong balance sheet and high-growth recurring revenue, margin and income profile. IndiCue strengthens the execution layer of our business, adding profitable, recurring monetization infrastructure that scales as volume and complexity increase across the streaming ecosystem.”

IndiCue – CTV Monetization with 100+ Customers Live or Onboarding

IndiCue is a proprietary connected television (CTV) monetization platform that provides streaming publishers and operators with the technology infrastructure to manage, optimize, and grow their advertising revenue across FAST, AVOD, and ad-supported streaming environments.

The company operates an integrated ad technology stack that includes ad serving, supply-side platform (SSP), demand-side platform (DSP), and server-side ad insertion (SSAI) capabilities, all built on high-performance bare metal infrastructure designed for low operational costs, speed, reliability, and scale.

Founded in 2023, IndiCue has rapidly scaled to more than 40 live clients, with 75 additional publishers currently being onboarded. IndiCue is expected to generate approximately $38 million in revenue and $9.6 million in EBITDA in calendar year 2026, representing a 25% EBITDA margin and immediate accretion at close, reflecting the operating leverage of transaction-driven CTV advertising infrastructure.(1)

IndiCue’s customer base includes major media companies such as IMAX, Freecast, Cannella Media, Loop Media, KTSF, and Dial Up Media, as well as many independent FAST and AVOD platforms and other streaming content distributors.

Financial Impact and Outlook

The acquisition positions Cineverse for a materially improved financial profile, driven by scalable, recurring technology revenue and expanding operating leverage.

• Fiscal Year 2027 revenue is expected to reach $115-$120 million, with technology platforms representing more than 50% of total revenue.

• Adjusted EBITDA is expected to reach $10-$20 million in Fiscal Year 2027, reflecting the accretive nature of the transaction and continued margin expansion.(1)

• IndiCue is EBITDA-positive at close and is expected to contribute approximately $38 million of annualized revenue beginning in Fiscal Year 2027 (commencing April 1, 2026).

• IndiCue’s revenue scales with advertising transaction volume across the CTV ecosystem, supporting durable, recurring infrastructure revenue rather than license-based software economics.

Strategic Rationale

The addition of IndiCue into the Matchpoint ecosystem completes a critical component of Cineverse’s platform strategy and vision. The combined companies now connect distribution, data, and monetization into a single, unified solution, allowing Cineverse and its streaming partners to respond dynamically to performance signals, optimize ad placement, and improve ad yield across the highly fragmented CTV landscape.

The combined platform functions as an execution layer for streaming content distribution and advertising monetization, providing real-time analytics visibility and automated workflows that FAST channels, AVOD services, and independent streaming operators require to remain competitive in the rapidly evolving ad-supported streaming market.

It also becomes the only independent, full-stack white-label solution unifying content delivery and ad monetization for studios and streaming operators. This positions Cineverse to effectively serve customers who want to reduce operational complexity by utilizing fewer vendors, reducing required integration points, and who demand a single accountable partner across both streaming operations and monetization.

The Product and Engineering teams from Cineverse and IndiCue will leverage the expansive Matchpoint technology portfolio to jointly develop new ad tech products and advanced data capabilities designed to deliver advancements within the CTV advertising ecosystem that leverage the unique combined capabilities and expertise of the two company’s technology teams.

IndiCue’s world-class monetization team will also directly support the revenue optimization of Cineverse’s portfolio of owned and operated streaming platforms, creating immediate value while driving continued platform development.

“For years, we’ve focused on building advanced, next-generation infrastructure designed to scale the highly complex task of digital video distribution,” said Erick Opeka, President and Chief Strategy Officer of Cineverse. “With IndiCue, Matchpoint becomes a closed loop: distribution, data, and monetization working together as a single system. This gives us a powerful feedback engine that allows us to understand performance in real time and act on it, improving results for our own content and for some of the largest media companies in the world.”

Transaction Financing and Alignment

The acquisition was financed through a combination of cash, deferred consideration, and performance-based earnouts, with total potential consideration of up to $40.0 million, including $22.0 million in base consideration and up to $18.0 million tied to future performance milestones.

Concurrent with closing and as previously disclosed, Cineverse raised $13 million in convertible notes to support the closing of transaction and working capital requirements. The note financing was driven by existing long-term Cineverse shareholders, reflecting strong conviction in the Company’s strategy and long-term value creation opportunity.

Integration and Team

IndiCue’s founding team and senior leadership have joined Cineverse in newly appointed roles under multi-year employment and retention agreements. This includes Nicholas Frazee newly appointed as EVP of Revenue, Yuriy Gorokhov as EVP of Technology and John Marchesini as EVP of Product & Monetization. The combined organization brings together deep expertise across CTV advertising technology, distribution, data, and content operations.

“IndiCue was built to improve content monetization and allow programmatic advertising to perform far more efficiently in complex, fragmented environments,” said Nicholas Frazee, Chief Executive Officer of IndiCue, and now EVP of Revenue for Cineverse. “Joining Cineverse allows us to integrate our advanced monetization capabilities directly into an enterprise-grade platform that powers content distribution at significant scale. We are now in the unique position of controlling the entire content and ad pipeline from end-to-end. In addition, as an established ad platform and now first-party publisher, we can be nimble and leverage our complementary industry expertise to focus on building next-generation technology that will define the future of advertising.”
