DATAGROUP SE: DATAGROUP Acquires a Stake in URANO Informationssysteme GmbH - Seite 2

URANO has been focused on IT services for more than 30 years and now, as a part of the DATAGROUP family, can take advantage of additional services from the DATAGROUP portfolio. CORBOX - the core portfolio of DATAGROUP - enables URANO to offer additional in-house services which have not been provided before. The company will have access to topics such as SAP Services and Security Services for existing and new customers and will be able to substantially grow its business.

"By taking over URANO, we add very interesting solutions to our portfolio, for instance for the school system", says Andreas Baresel, Chief Production Officer of DATAGROUP. "We have not offered such a mature comprehensive solution in this area to date. Furthermore, URANO will contribute to a better utilization of our central CORBOX production facilities."

The transaction comprises 70 % of the shares in URANO Informationssysteme GmbH and a purchase option for the remaining 30 % of the shares after two years. This is to guarantee that the former management continues to work full-time while it also serves to support a smooth transition and soft integration of URANO into DATAGROUP. The existing shareholders have agreed on a long-term cooperation for the time after the transition phase.

The acquisition will be wholly financed from own resources. The parties have agreed to keep the purchase price confidential. The transaction is subject to further closing conditions.
