Founded in 2005, Azpiral has set the standard for loyalty and marketing 
solutions in the EMEA market. Its feature-rich portfolio—including loyalty 
marketing automation, rewards engine, customer profiler, business analytics, 
CO2 Calculator, and more—complements existing PDI loyalty offerings while 
expanding the company's presence into the European market. In particular, the 
advanced CRM solution, AzpiralPRO, helps retailers customize their 
communications strategies and drive incremental loyalty revenue. Bringing 
Azpiral and PDI together means that these industry-leading capabilities will 
continue to deliver unique value through greater scalability and aligned 
strategy.


"As PDI continues to invest in global solutions for the convenience retail and 
petroleum markets, the Azpiral acquisition is the first step in expanding our 
consumer engagement segment beyond North America," stated Brandon Logsdon, 
President of Consumer Engagement at PDI. "After a comprehensive review of our 
options for international expansion and growth, we were highly impressed by the 
features and functionality that Azpiral has built. Together, we now can serve 
and lead globally, similar to how PDI has led loyalty programs for convenience 
and petroleum in the U.S."


"We're thrilled to be working with the Azpiral team and have another 
value-added solution for our international customers," added Dawn Desai, SVP 
and GM of EMEA Loyalty and Payments at PDI. "Our customers have been looking 
for this type of solution, and they will benefit from future integrations with 
other PDI products like Offer Network and Insights Cloud."


Azpiral CEO, Richard Gubbins, continued, "PDI's reputation and offerings have 
continued to grow at a global scale, and we are excited to add to the momentum. 
With Azpiral technologies already integrated with some PDI solutions in the 
European market, we know we have the right tools to continue building 
innovations for customers and the industry together."


Berenson & Company and Corum Group Ltd. served as exclusive financial advisors 
to PDI and Azpiral, respectively, in connection with the transaction.
