Acquisition of subsidiary
On 23 January 2008, Cybercom Group Europe AB acquired 100% of the share capital in Plenware Oy. Takeover occurred on 1 January 2008. Plenware is a Finnish IT Group with about 550 employees in China, Estonia, Finland, and Romania. The fixed purchase price was SEK 309,558 thousand (EUR 32.7 million), which was paid in cash – SEK 206,236 thousand (EUR 21.8 million) – and newly issued Cybercom shares – 1,923,347 at SEK 53.72/share (EUR 10.9 million). The contact commits Cybercom to take over debts and obligations up to at most EUR 14.2 million. If the debts were lower at takeover, then an additional purchase price equal to the difference between the maximum amount and the actual value of the debt would be paid. At takeover, debts were EUR 3 million lower than contracted, so an additional SEK 28,421 thousand (EUR 3 million) is paid as a purchase price settlement. The additional purchase price was based on 2007 profit, which will reach EUR 2.5 million. An additional purchase price of at most EUR 5.5 million, based on 2008 profit, might be paid.
Preliminary goodwill of SEK 311,169 thousand arose in conjunction with the acquisition and was mainly attributable to the expanded geographic coverage and customer base that Plenware contributed to Cybercom.
The total value of the acquired assets and liabilities, purchase price, and effect on the Group’s cash and cash equivalents concerning Plenware is shown in the table.
The acquisition analysis is preliminary.
