Robinhood shares gain on Q2 beat, as user and crypto growth accelerate
NEW YORK & TEL AVIV, Israel - Perion Network Ltd. (NASDAQ and TASE: PERI), a technology company addressing modern advertising complexities, has announced the implementation of a shareholder rights plan with a limited duration. The plan, effective immediately, is designed to prevent potential undervalued acquisitions and ensure shareholders realize the full potential value of their investment.
The rights plan aims to deter any entity, person, or group from gaining control or significant influence over Perion without offering fair compensation to all shareholders or allowing the Board sufficient time to make strategic decisions. Perion’s Board and management believe the current share price does not reflect the company’s intrinsic value and growth prospects, potentially making it an attractive acquisition target. This view is supported by InvestingPro data, which shows the company maintains a strong financial position with more cash than debt and a healthy current ratio of 3.47.

Under the rights plan, Perion will issue one right for each ordinary share held as of April 14, 2025. These rights will become exercisable if an entity, person, or group acquires 13% or more of Perion’s outstanding ordinary shares without Board approval. In such a scenario, each right holder, except the acquiring party, could purchase additional shares at a nominal price, diluting the acquirer’s stake.
The Board may also exchange shares for outstanding rights after an entity acquires a 13% stake, further preventing unsanctioned control changes. This plan is not designed to obstruct actions deemed by the Board to be in the company’s and shareholders’ best interests. Instead, it encourages transparent and constructive engagement with the Board and management.
The rights plan aligns with similar strategies adopted by other publicly traded companies and will expire on April 2, 2026, unless terminated earlier as outlined in the plan. Additional details are available in a Form 6-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
