Exhibit 1
Perion Announces Standard & Poor’s Maalot Reaffirms its Credit Rating
Tel Aviv – February 8, 2016 – Perion Network Ltd. (NASDAQ: PERI) today announced that Standard & Poor’s Maalot Ratings Services (“S&P”) has maintained Perion’s corporate credit rating of ilA-. On December 3, 2015, Perion’s rating had been placed on credit watch following Perion’s acquisition of Undertone. Today, S&P has reaffirmed the rating with a stable outlook and has removed Perion from credit watch.
Mr. Yacov Kaufman, Perion's Chief Financial Officer, commented, “We are very pleased that not only was our rating of ilA- maintained, but our allowable debt to EBITDA ratio was raised to 3:1 from 1.5:1. We believe this report provides additional confirmation that the Undertone acquisition strengthens Perion as a company.”
An English version of the rating report and notification is available in the Investors section of Perion's website at www.perion.com/ir-events/.
