As previously announced on May 2, 2017, Spark and EliteSingles have entered into a definitive agreement under which Spark and EliteSingles will combine in a stock-for-stock transaction that is expected to result in EliteSingles shareholders owning approximately 75% of the combined company and Spark shareholders owning approximately 25%. 

The Form F-4 was filed by Blitz 17-655 SE, the holding company under which the businesses will combine and become Spark Networks SE, and is available through the SEC's website at www.sec.gov under the name "Blitz 17-655 SE." The registration statement has not been declared effective by the SEC and the information in the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus is not complete and may be changed. The Spark Investor Relations website (http://investor.spark.net) contains a downloadable version of the Form F-4 and additional information regarding the Spark and EliteSingles combination.

Spark Networks is like a lifesaver made of lead for Affinitas GmbH.

EliteSingles / eDarling sites are only copycats of eHarmony.
A prospective client will not perceive eDarling / EliteSingles sites as better, superior or different than eHarmony's ones.

  •         They will run the companies separately, as if there were no intention to merge.
  •         They can not innovate in the Online Dating Industry.
  •         No mention to eHarmony, biggest enemy of EliteSingles / eDarling sites.
