The company was started in 2010 by three partners, including Chinese superstar singer and actor Wilber Pan, whose awards include Most Popular Male Artist, Best Asian Singer, and Best Leading Actor in a Television Series. During five years of operations, Camigo has built a user base of over 26 million users, with 60% of all downloads from China.

The Average Revenue Per Paying User (ARPPU) for games in China reached 32.36 US$ in Q1/2014, with the Chinese US$ 3B gaming market about to overtake the US market, according to research company Superdata.

Three of Camigo’s mobile games have reached the number one position in the iOS Appstore in China, and reached 5.4 million monthly active users. Camigo’s bestselling game is MeWantBamboo, which in addition to iOS also is available on several Android Appstores in China. The game reached over 1 million downloads in the week of its launch. YuuZoo has acquired the entire MeWantBamboo franchise, which includes 4 launched games, with a total userbase of over 19 million, and one brand new game under development.

The Camigo games acquired by YuuZoo also include seven educational games targeted at young children. These games, which teach mathematics and reading, will be integrated into the YuuKids platform, which YuuZoo plans to launch in China in 2015. YuuZoo will also benefit from Camigo’s distribution and payment relationships that include China Mobile, China Unicom, China Telecom, DoMob, LiMei and AliPay.

The full payment will be made in YuuZoo shares in accordance with the Company’s share issue mandate granted at the Company’s 29 May 2015 AGM. At the time of this announcement the shares used for the payment represent less than one half of 1% of the issued shares of YuuZoo Corporation.

Says YuuZoo Chairman & CEO Thomas Zilliacus: “The acquisition of Camigo’s games, users and partnerships add significant value to YuuZoo in many ways. Games are a key revenue generator in social networking worldwide. Games provide major stickiness to social media.
