Vista Equity-backed STATS, a sports data and analytics company, completed the merger with DAZN-backed Perform, a sports media company. Financial terms were not disclosed. “Bringing Perform into the fold will create the most advanced artificial intelligence company in sports, providing deeper, more robust data and insights, which is essential to our global partners. Not only will we be able to improve our offerings to existing customers, we now have the opportunity to expand our presence in global markets where Perform has paved inroads for years as a leader in digital sports content," Carl Mergele, STATS CEO.
