** EAR CLEANING ENDOSCOPE TOOL **
-----------------------------------
Say goodbye to cotton swabs that jam dirt, earwax, and debris deeper into your ear canal. Now, you can safely view and clean your ears with the at-home cleaning endoscope. Check inside the ear for wax build-up the safe way. Our camera lets you see what you are doing while you clean your ear canals, unlike cotton swabs and Q-tips which can push wax down and cause more blockage. You can also irritate your ear canal or damage your eardrum using cotton swabs to clean your ears.

Veteran American studio Gearbox Software has been acquired by the Swedish c=
ompany Embracer Group in a sale valued at up to $1.3 billion. As part of th=
e buyout, Gearbox is getting the money, or "rocket fuel," as the company sa=
id, to "fuel Gearbox's powerful creative engine." Despite the buyout, 2K Ga=
mes will continue to publish the Borderlands series. "As the proud publishe=
r of the Borderlands franchise, we are happy for our partners at Gearbox an=
d this exciting new chapter for their organization," a spokesperson for 2K =
said. "The merger does not change 2K?s relationship with Gearbox nor our ro=
le as the publisher for the Borderlands IP or any other projects we are cur=
rently working on with the studio. We look forward to continuing our long-t=
erm partnership with this incredibly talented team and delivering many more=
exciting entertainment experiences to gaming fans around the world."
With the acquisition, Embracer only grows further. The company already has =
a catalog of more than 200 franchises and 5,500 employees globally across s=
ix studios. Gearbox's 550 developers across its Texas and Quebec City offic=
es will become employees of Embracer going forward. Gearbox is Embracer's s=
eventh internal game developer/publisher. Alongside Borderlands, it's also =
known for the Brothers in Arms series, which has been dormant at the studio=
--at least publicly--while ideas are worked on internally. Gearbox founder =
and top executive Randy Pitchford is staying on with Gearbox as part of the=
sale. "The feeling at Gearbox is that we are just getting started and this=
transaction is not merely a stimulant for the talent of our employee-owned=
company, but a propellent for the exciting future we have planned," he sai=
d in a statement. In the future, Gearbox said it will plan to grow the size=
of its two studios, create new ones, and build on its partnerships to driv=
e future growth. "This merger enables Gearbox to do more with its existing =
brands, create new brands, and, potentially, undertake the merger and acqui=
sition of other successful industry and industry-adjacent entities and prop=
erties," Gearbox said. Embracer Group, which is based in Sweden, owns the c=
ompanies THQ Nordic, Koch Media/Deep Silver, Coffee Stain, Amplifier Game I=
nvest, Saber Interactive, and DECA Games, with Gearbox becoming Embracer's =
seventh outfit. It has a number of game developers in its roster, including=
Metro studio 4A Games and Darksiders developer Gunfire Games. Below is a b=
reakdown of the acquisition price. As you can see, Gearbox gets $188 millio=
n in cash up front, with further upfront payments that net the company $363=
million on day one. Gearbox can earn many millions more if the company rea=
ches certain milestones, and then a further $715 million after that pending=
other key milestones. The Transaction in brief
Upfront consideration - USD 363 million on a cash and debt free basis, as f=
ollows:
USD 188 million in cash; and
7,438,983 B shares in Embracer, equivalent to USD 175 million, divided into=
equal parts subject to a one-year (12 months) and two-year (24 months) loc=
k-up period, respectively. Operational earn out - up to USD 300 million ove=
r six-years
USD 150 million in cash; and
6,376,271 B shares in Embracer, equivalent to USD 150 million, vesting over=
six years, conditional upon completion of certain projects and that certai=
n key employees remain employed by Gearbox 6 years following completion of =
the transaction. Financial earn out - up to USD 715 million over six-years
Financial earn out 1: Up to USD 180 million in cash; and
8,926,780 B shares in Embracer, equivalent to USD 210 million, subject to t=
he financial development of Gearbox. If the accumulated Adjusted EBITDA ove=
r four years exceeds USD 335 million, the Financial earn out 1 will be trig=
gered and will range from USD 210 million to USD 390 million on a proportio=
nate basis based on an accumulated Adjusted EBITDA ranging from USD 335 mil=
lion to USD 621 million. If earned, the Financial earn out 1 will be payabl=
e in shares until the aggregate amount is USD 210 million and all amounts i=
n excess of USD 210 million will be paid in cash.. If the accumulated Adjus=
ted EBITDA is lower than USD 335 million, the financial earn out 1 is zero.=
If the accumulated Adjusted EBITDA is higher than USD 621 million, the fin=
ancial earn out is capped at USD 390 million. Financial earn out 2: Up to U=
SD 325 million in cash, subject to the financial development of Gearbox. If=
the accumulated Adjusted EBITDA over six years exceeds USD 702 million, th=
e Financial earn out 2 will be triggered and will range from USD 175 millio=
n to USD 325 million on a proportionate basis based on an accumulated Adjus=
ted EBITDA ranging from USD 702 million to USD 1,304 million. If the accumu=
lated Adjusted EBITDA is lower than USD 702 million, the financial earn out=
2 is zero. If the accumulated Adjusted EBITDA is higher than USD 1,304 mil=
lion, the financial earn out is capped at USD 325 million. The Earn-Out Con=
sideration Shares will be issued at a price of SEK 197.57 per share which e=
quals the 20 day volume weighted average price of Embracer B shares on Nasd=
aq First North Growth Market up to and including 2 February 2021, and using=
the FX rate USD/SEK of 8.3984 as of 2 February 2021. The Earn-Out Consider=
ation Shares will be freely tradable when earned following fulfillment of o=
perational and financial targets. The Earn-Out Consideration Shares are iss=
ued when earned and released if targets are met. Financial earn out 1 catch=
up mechanism: If the financial targets for Financial earn out 2 over six ye=
ars are met, Financial earn out 1 may be recovered on a proportionate basis=
based on the cumulative financial performance over six years..--->=20
