Statement regarding Director and Trading Update

Taptica (AIM: TAP), a global leader in advertising technologies for performance-based mobile marketing and brand advertising, announces that Hagai Tal, CEO of the Company, has today been found liable for certain statements made in relation to the sale of Plimus Inc, a company of which he was both a shareholder and chief executive officer at its time of sale in August 2011. The plaintiffs in the case are entitled to restitution for breaches of certain representations and warranties.

Details of the claim were disclosed in the Company's admission document on page 85 (section 7.9 of Part IV), which is available on the Company's website.

Mr Tal has tendered his resignation from the Board, which the other directors of Taptica are now considering. Further announcements will be made as appropriate.

Trading Update

The Company provides the following update on trading for the current financial year to 31 December 2018.

Since announcing its interim results in September 2018, the Company has continued to perform well and execute on its strategy to deliver higher-margin revenue. As a result, the Company expects to report EBITDA growth in line with market expectations, demonstrating a higher-than-expected EBITDA margin, and revenue below expectations due to the forgoing of some lower-margin sales. Cash generation within the business is also as expected.

The information communicated in this announcement contains inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014. The Company confirms that it is no longer in possession of any unpublished price sensitive information.
