The Meet Group Provides Update on Livestreaming Video Progress

• Announces rollout of Tagged livestreaming on The Meet Group's shared platform
• Reports strong gains in key video metrics

The Meet Group, Inc. MEET, a public market leader in the mobile meeting space, today provided an update on its livestreaming video rollout and key video operating results.

"We see momentum in video building," said Geoff Cook, Chief Executive Officer of The Meet Group. "We have begun the rollout of Tagged livestreaming on our shared video platform, and we expect to launch enhanced video monetization on Tagged next month. Additionally, we are ahead of schedule with our plans to bring live video to Lovoo, and we now expect to begin rolling out the feature in a phased approach starting in May.

"What's more, we have been setting new all-time highs related to video engagement and monetization across The Meet Group's portfolio:

• The number of monetizing users continues to increase on MeetMe and Skout. In particular, the number of paid gifters increased 36% in March over February. Gifters buy virtual gifts for livestreamers.
• Video users as a share of mobile daily active users (or vDAU%) on MeetMe exceeded 25% for the first time ever last week.
• Total broadcast time across our shared video platform exceeded 4 million minutes for the first time this week, and total streaming time exceeded 10 million minutes — combining for over 26 years of live video engagement in a single day.

"We expect Lovoo and Tagged to drive continued growth of video engagement and monetization. Additionally, we have a deep pipeline of product features and enhancements that we believe will continue to drive video DAU and video ARPDAU, while also creating richer, more meaningful connections within our community," continued Cook. "We recently began rolling out gender filters on MeetMe so that users can connect via live video, and we merged our Skout and MeetMe audiences, giving users of both platforms access to a greater number of potential connections. Skout Live is performing well and is already contributing meaningfully to total video revenue."
