The price tag was about $160 million, with $100 million in cash and 12.5 million shares of Innovid stock.

“We believe the combination of independent global ad serving and cross-platform measurement sits at the heart of solving TV measurement’s biggest challenges,” said Zvika Netter CEO and co-founder, Innovid. “We’ve spent over a decade building foundational ad delivery and personalization technology to power TV across channels and devices. Now, together with TVSquared by Innovid, we provide advertisers a complete view of the total TV and digital universe through a scalable, currency-grade measurement platform.” Innovid previously said that TVSquared president Jo Kinsella would lead Innovid's measurement business after the closing.
