Selected transactions ▪ There are three main drivers behind the success of resale marketplaces: 1. Sustainability: there is an increased awareness from consumers, particularly around environmental issues. With over 1 billion smartphones manufactured each year, consumers realise the need to reduce this footprint. 2. Price: consumers have become more price-sensitive due to the number of pre-owned marketplaces and the ability to compare goods on different platforms. At the same time, the economic downturn has increased the need to reduce spending. DEAL DATE: MAY-21 TTV: $105 POST-MONEY: $790M 3. Quality: platforms have invested in customer experience, authentication and protection; thereby increasing the willingness of consumers to use second-hand online platforms to purchase high value goods, like smartphones. ▪ Unlike other sectors, refurbished electronics marketplaces add further value beyond connecting buyers and sellers. They play a key part in the value chain, converting ‘waste’ into items with a new product life, as well as providing quality checks to give consumers the comfort and trust to buy these types of products. LISTING DATE: APR-21 AMOUNT RAISED: £110M VALUATION: £208M ▪ Refurbished electronics marketplaces can now provide a top customer experience for products that are of a guaranteed quality, cheaper, and more environmentally friendly. ▪ This has been increased demand for companies such as Refurbed, Back Market or musicMagpie, which have increased their operations and are attracting significant funding from financial investors. DEAL DATE: MAR-20 TTV: $17M POST-MONEY: NA Sources: Pitchbook, Crunchbase, and Mergermarket (as of 30 June 2021) Takeaways GP BULLHOUND’S SECTOR TAKEAWAYS Connected commerce accelerates shift to online for SMEs Online commerce has become key for traditional SME retailers ▪ The increasing dominance of internet giants like Amazon and Alibaba has threatened large SME retailers who have been forced to develop online capabilities to keep up with them. ▪ Many small and medium-sized retailers previously did not prioritise selling online due to focusing on niche products and / or local markets. While COVID-19 has shown the need to accelerate the shift to online commerce, these businesses do not typically have the knowledge, experience, time or budget to set up and manage successful online channels. ‒ Many retailers lack the systems or processes to handle the diverse selling and fulfilment demands from online channels. Ultimately, this means a gap between the customers' expectations and what the retailers can provide. ‒ Online commerce requires additional capabilities than offline commerce – a new online customer experience as well as shipping or returns. These processes are difficult to master without the right experience or resources. ▪ Connected commerce tools provide the means needed to facilitate seamless online experiences for retailers and customers. ▪ Companies like Shopify or SquareSpace, founded in the early 2000s, have been very successful in providing online commerce capabilities over the past few years. However, their solutions can sometimes be overwhelming and too complex for small and medium-sized retailers. ▪ Recently we have seen a new wave of platforms that can provide simpler and more niche solutions for smaller retailers who are unable to develop or manage complex online capabilities in-house. ‒ Examples of such include Vend, ChannelEngine, Poq or Shopery, who currently offer solutions that are affordable and manageable for smaller retailers. ‒ Through scale, these platforms allow retailers to leverage demand and tools only affordable to global players like Amazon, providing capabilities such as data analytics, pricing engines, ad strategy, or inventory management.

Furthermore, these individuals are more comfortable using marketplaces as they are used to using online channels. ▪ By 2025, millennials are expected to account for over 75% of the global workforce.(2) Having grown up more familiar with online commerce, they are willing to find digital solutions for their organisations’ supply chains and procurement programmes, and as such are increasingly likely to use online marketplaces to meet their needs than more traditional methods. ▪ There are now reportedly over 250 vertical B2B marketplaces globally, up from 70 just two years ago.

Investors CEO commentary LEADING COMPANIES AND CEOS TRANSFORMING THE SECTOR Maxime Maffini-Scialom , Co-Founder & CEO MAXIME MAFFINI-SCIALOM CO-FOUNDER & CEO, COLIZEY “Colizey is the first marketplace 100% dedicated to sporting goods. We believe that technical products should be sold in a brand-safety environment and not on mainstream platforms.

The role of Colizey's team is to gather and curate enough product information so any sport lover can make their choice depending on their own needs. Our proprietary technology helps us onboard any kind of seller (from brick & mortar shops to international brands) in less than 48 hours. Our focus in the next 12 months will be to add more and more supply to our platform so we can offer sports addicts the largest sporting goods catalogue possible.” Thanks to proprietary technology, Colizey connects brands, retailers and brick & mortar shops with sports lovers.
