Linkedin Icon-xtwitterlogo-black Innovation, including a real-time political dashboard, complements full-stack solution to drive performance, create efficiency and mitigate data loss Nexxen SSP selected as News Corp’s preferred SSP for political PMP deals New York, July 25, 2024 – Nexxen, a global, unified advertising technology platform with deep expertise in video and Connected TV (“CTV”), today announced the launch of key tools for political advertisers, providing them with advanced controls and unique audience data to make informed and granular decisions that drive campaign success. Nexxen’s end-to-end technology stack encompasses a fully integrated demand-side platform (“DSP”) and supply-side platform (“SSP”), which enhance performance, improve efficiency and minimize data loss, thus maximizing political audience reach throughout the entire campaign lifecycle. During the initial discovery phase, advertisers can utilize unique data and applications found in the Nexxen Data Platform. This valuable data is sourced from various channels, such as audience targeting and strategic data partnerships as well as Nexxen Discovery, a real-time market research platform that analyzes content engagements and user behavior across digital, social and TV on-demand. As campaigns launch – either through Nexxen or another DSP and SSP – political advertisers can leverage Nexxen’s advanced measurement suite to gain deep insights into the impact of each campaign. Further, in 2024, five new offerings give advertisers advanced controls of their campaigns’ reach and precision. Political District Targeting: A geo-targeting feature that allows advertisers to target by US Political district (Congressional District, State Senate, State House/Assembly) within the platform directly. Political District Targeting allows for more granular and relevant targeting based on campaign goals. Campaign End Times: A feature that allows advertisers to optimize spend more efficiently with the ability to update their campaign end time within the Flight Schedule section to a specific time, rather than the industry default 11:59 PM. Political Dashboard, Powered by Nexxen Discovery: An easy-to-use, panel-based dashboard provides national- and state-level battleground candidate and issue analysis, including public sentiment and week-over-week change in content engagement, so advertisers can identify and activate custom voter audiences. These audiences can then be pushed directly to the Nexxen DSP for streamlined media buy activation on CTV and video. Proximic by Comscore TV Political Audiences Partnership: This augmentation of Nexxen’s partnership with Comscore enables political advertisers to retarget custom audiences who have previously been exposed to political ads for President, Congress, Governor and Ballot Referendums to ensure their message stays top-of-mind for voters. The Proximic by Comscore linear retargeting solution can be utilized for reach extension, to amplify frequency and to increase share of voice. News Corp’s Preferred SSP for Political Private Marketplace (“PMP”) Deals: Media company News Corp has selected Nexxen as its preferred SSP for political PMP deals, enabling detailed audience targeting across premium content using data such as congressional districts, voter registration, age, ethnicity and more. This collaboration will ensure that political advertisers can achieve more precise and effective campaign outcomes, reaching voters with greater accuracy and elevating campaign impact on inventory including the New York Post and Dow Jones. “Nexxen’s platform maximizes political dollars by providing advertisers with access to real-time voter data and the ability to reach those voters quickly, with precision and control,” said Ariel Deitz, Vice President of Enterprise Partnerships at Nexxen. “With our full-stack technology and Streaming DNA core, we are helping our political advertisers maximize their frequency controls and make smarter decisions on what impressions to buy for their ad campaign.” About Nexxen Under the parent Company Tremor International (AIM / NASDAQ: TRMR), Nexxen empowers advertisers, agencies, publishers and broadcasters around the world to utilize video and Connected TV in the ways that are most meaningful to them.

Our Response to Google’s Recent Decision
Earlier this week, Google announced that it was not going to deprecate third-party cookies in Chrome – a decision that’s garnered significant attention throughout our industry. As a beta partner with Google’s Privacy Sandbox, Nexxen had an in-depth understanding of the developments and concerns that led to this reversal. Despite this decision, though, the evolving landscape of privacy regulations and industry-wide signal loss still demands a robust identity resolution solution, and we firmly believe that a scalable approach to identity is essential for creating the best online experiences for buyers, sellers and consumers alike. Having alternative identity-based solutions, in addition to continuing to support cookies, is crucial for everyone in our ecosystem to pursue more robust opportunities across devices and platforms. And at Nexxen, we take an agnostic approach to identity – our comprehensive, four-pronged strategy is designed to provide flexibility and ensure coverage and reach across all channels. More specifically, this approach involves: Universal ID SupportWe will support all major universal IDs, allowing us to create customized private marketplaces (PMPs), build target audiences and run campaigns through Nexxen DSP and Nexxen SSP. We are fully integrated with RampID, working on Unified ID 2.0 integration, and offer pass-through support for major universal IDs in our SSP. As new universal identifiers gain traction, we will support those as well, ensuring our clients have access to the most effective resources available. Unified Identity GraphOur Unified Identity Graph combines multiple identity solutions into a single system for smooth cross-device targeting. This system allows for unified bidding across various IDs, boosting revenue potential and increasing reach. It also improves frequency controls at the device, person and household levels, providing a seamless and efficient advertising experience. Contextual Solutions Nexxen’s proprietary contextual solutions, such as TV Content Targeting and Smart Contextual segments, enable advertisers to expand their reach across devices in a privacy-safe manner. Additional contextual solutions include Predictive Audiences and traditional keyword targeting, offering a wide range of options to meet specific campaign needs while maintaining user privacy. Supply-Side Data and Curation Through Nexxen SSP, advertisers can connect directly with premium publishers, gaining access to first-party data for precise audience targeting. Our extensive supply footprint allows us to create curated PMPs and site lists for specific campaign requirements – which includes first slot ad inventory, high-attention content, sustainability and more – ensuring our clients’ campaigns are both effective and aligned with their brand values. At Nexxen, we are committed to supporting multiple identity solutions, now and in the future. We view data – whether first- or third-party – through a holistic lens, ensuring that we remain adaptable and responsive to industry changes, and providing our clients with the solutions and insights they need to succeed in a dynamic and ever-changing advertising environment. Google’s decision not to deprecate third-party cookies underscores the complexities of the current advertising landscape. But Nexxen remains dedicated to providing scalable, durable identity solutions that enhance online experiences for all stakeholders. By supporting a wide range of identity signals and offering advanced tools for targeting and amplification, we can ensure our clients are well-equipped to navigate the future of digital advertising.
