Acquisition of Dexibit

-Strategic acquisition of the only AI and analytics platform purpose-built for the attractions industry, establishing accesso as the system of record and the system of intelligence for the sector-

-A leapfrog in capability that will rapidly embed intelligence across the Group's solutions and operators' third-party systems, creating an AI-first ecosystem that empowers operators to make smarter, faster decisions across their entire business-

accesso Technology Group plc (AIM: ACSO), the premier technology solutions provider to leisure, entertainment, and cultural markets, today announces the acquisition of Dexibit Limited ("Dexibit"), the purpose-built data analytics and artificial intelligence platform for the visitor attractions industry.

Dexibit's capabilities will form the foundation of a new solution, accesso Intelligence, which will empower accesso's clients to connect their full operational dataset, including third-party systems, and deliver actionable insight across their entire business. As a provider of mission-critical, vertical systems of record with deep domain expertise and transaction-based revenue, this new AI-enabled proposition reinforces accesso's position, deepens the Group's strategic relevance to its clients and positions it to lead the next era of attractions technology: Intelligent Operations.

The agreement, funded through the Group's existing cash reserves, is for an initial cash consideration of up to $7.1m. A potential additional consideration of up to $5.0m is also payable over a three-year period, subject to the satisfaction of certain performance conditions. The transaction completed on 28 March 2026.

Acquisition rationale and highlights

Overall, the acquisition strongly fits the Group's strategic M&A criteria. It embeds intelligence at the core of accesso's platform and across the wider systems operators depend on, delivering a cross-platform capability that no other provider in the industry is positioned to offer. accesso will of course also continue to embed AI into its individual products as part of their natural evolution, but this acquisition represents something larger: an enterprise-wide intelligence layer that sits above any single product and strengthens the entire ecosystem.

accesso believes the acquisition will:

Solve a critical problem: venues generate vast operational data which sits dormant in disconnected systems. Venue operators typically lack the scale or in-house expertise to build an enterprise-wide intelligence capability on their own. Without one, they miss significant optimisation opportunities as AI reshapes how businesses operate. accesso Intelligence will unify operator data from ticketing, staffing, and maintenance through to weather, visitor reviews, and local events, and use AI to surface the correlations that matter. Critically, this extends beyond accesso's own applications: accesso Intelligence will connect the operator's full technology landscape, including third-party systems, to deliver value across their entire operation.

Put intelligence in the hands of every decision-maker through simple conversation. For many operators, basic analysis across multiple data sources still requires spreadsheets, database queries, and specialist skills. With accesso Intelligence, an operations manager can ask "Why did we underperform last Saturday?" and get an answer that pulls together attendance, staffing, weather, and guest feedback automatically. A General Manager can ask "What should we change on the restaurant menu?" and see sales, item margins, and visitor reviews synthesised into a recommendation. This is intelligence that every decision-maker at a venue can access directly, with conversational AI.

Bring a truly differentiated proposition to market. Many companies in accesso's industry are adopting AI by introducing basic AI features within their individual products. This acquisition is fundamentally different: a material investment in a cross-platform intelligence capability that spans accesso's full product set and the third-party systems operators rely on. As AI models rapidly commoditise, the competitive advantage comes not from the model but from proprietary data and industry-specific context. This is exactly what Dexibit brings: deep domain-specific context built over many years, breadth of integration across the industry's fragmented technology landscape, and historical pattern recognition that only accumulates with time and scale. This represents years of purposeful development, acquired in a single decisive move. As a provider of mission-critical systems of record with deep domain expertise and transaction-based revenue, AI reinforces accesso's position and deepens the Group's strategic relevance to its clients.

Deliver for accesso based on a proven track record across an existing blue chip client base. Dexibit already serves some of the world's most recognised cultural and entertainment institutions, including leading aquariums, museums and visitor attractions. Its capabilities have been validated across a diverse client base, and its more than 100 integrations create a natural channel to deploy analytics on a customer's existing systems and introduce accesso's broader platform.

Commenting on the acquisition, Steve Brown, accesso's CEO, said:

"Putting operators first is at the core of what we do by helping them optimise their business, and AI is now becoming an important part of how we deliver on that. With accesso Intelligence, we are bringing together data across all the systems they use, including accesso solutions, to create a more complete and connected view of their operation. We are delighted to welcome the Dexibit team to accesso as we deliver on this vision."

Commenting on the acquisition, Angie Judge, Dexibit's CEO, said:

"I am incredibly proud that Dexibit is joining accesso, whose unparalleled global reach spans the world's most iconic attractions. As we got to know the accesso team, it genuinely felt like home. Together we can build something genuinely transformative for the industry, combining intelligence and execution to help venue operators move faster with insightful decisions in an increasingly complex landscape. We can't wait to get started."
