PSC is pleased to announce it has signed a Term Sheet to acquire business and technology consulting company Seisma Pty Ltd via a Share Sale and Purchase Agreement (SSPA). The Term Sheet is subject to finalisation of Due Diligence and obtaining final PSC Board and Shareholder approval.

Seisma is a specialist technology services company with more than 120 employees, possessing a strong footprint across the financial services, communications and utility sectors.

PSC Managing Director and CEO Glenn Fielding said:

“The Company had identified several areas where it needed to extend its existing business, and it believed acquiring Seisma would fit with its strategy to become a leader within its specialised practices.

“We identified the need to increase our presence in the growing areas of digital enterprise and information management and analytics, and Seisma has shown itself to be a growing IT provider and a specialist in these areas.

“With the acquisition of Seisma, the combined businesses would provide the Group with more than 400 billable IT consultants, grow coverage in utilities, communications and banking, and substantially increase leadership and sales capabilities. At the same time, the acquisition will also allow PSC to offer more services to the combined client base.

“Seisma is already delivering combined revenue streams of greater than $20M per annum, providing a platform to grow quickly in the right environment, and we expect the business to continue to show strong growth in FY19 and beyond.”

The Company expects to complete its due diligence enquiries and execute a SSPA by no later than 25 April 2018. At the same time, the Company will send a Notice of Meeting to Shareholders to seek approval for the acquisition to proceed on the terms to be outlined in the Notice of Meeting.
