Intrasense and DMS Group enter exclusive negotiations for the contribution of DMS Group medical imaging activities to Intrasense

A strategic operation to join forces of the technological know-how of DMS Imaging division with the software expertise of Intrasense

A virtuous operation forming a unique offer in the medical imaging sector

The boards of directors of DMS Group (Euronext - FR0012202497 - DGM), a high technology group serving medical diagnosis, healthcare and wellness, and Intrasense (Euronext Growth - FR0011179886 - ALINS), specialist in medical imaging software solutions and designer of Myrian®, voted in favor of the proposed contribution of DMS Imaging activities, the medical imaging division of DMS Group, to Intrasense.

Both medtech companies from Montpellier address the same worldwide market and have today strategically decided to join their particularly complementary expertise in cutting-edge medical imaging to enhance their development capabilities and leverage strong synergies with joining forces.

« At the time of artificial intelligence and deep learning solutions, medical imaging industry is entering a new era and opening up new growth drivers, notably in interventional imaging, oncology and assistance to diagnosis, comments Jean-Paul Ansel, Chief Executive Officer of DMS Group. This reconciliation with Intrasense is nowadays taking on all its meaning to create distinctive and high value-added propositions, combining our technological assets in radiology tables, recognized today as the most efficient on the market, and Intrasense software applications. »

Nicolas Reymond, Chief Executive Officer of Intrasense agrees: « This reconciliation would first allow Intrasense to offer DMS Group customers its complete portfolio of medical imaging solutions. Intrasense would also benefit from its market channels in France and worldwide. This operation is in line with our strategy focusing on industrials, that is today reinforced by an easier access to the same type of B-to-B and OEM targets, addressed by DMS Group. »

The operation aims to combine imaging activities of both companies together in Intrasense (€2.2 M revenue in 2017) through the contribution of the activities of DMS Group medical imaging division, DMS Imaging (that represents €26.6 M revenue in 2017 over €27.1 M in total for DMS Group).

DMS Group would become Intrasense majority shareholder and would carry on with its diversification strategy initiated in 2014, through development of its divisions DMS Wellness and DMS Biotech. Intrasense, becoming the DMS Group medical imaging division, would continue intensifying its commercial developments and executing its strategy launched in 2017

The combination of the two companies' activities would create particularly favorable synergies for new innovating solutions development that would support ongoing growth in the following years.

Key modalities and time-frame of proposed transaction

This transaction would take the form of a contribution of DMS Group medical imaging branch (DMS Imaging) compensated in new shares of Intrasense to be issued.

The partial contribution of assets consists in an appreciation of the contributions equal to 5.7 times the Intrasense group valuation on the basis of pending valuations (which should still be validated by both companies) estimated to €40 M for the imaging division of DMS Group and to €7 M (on full diluted basis) for Intrasense. As far as this project is concerned, after completion of the contributions, DMS Group would become Intrasense majority shareholder. The share quotation of Intrasense in Euronext Growth market would be maintained, as well as listing of DMS Group in Euronext Paris regulated market (Compartment C).

A press release about the proposed definitive parity for contribution, will be published when measuring asset values will be finalized.

The proposed combination is conditioned to the finalization and satisfying conclusions of reciprocal audits, obtaining a derogation by the French Financial Markets Authorities (AMF) in the obligation to register a public tender offer for the Intrasense shares, on the basis of articles 234-8, 234-9 3° and 234-10 of AMF General Regulation.

The Intrasense and DMS Group Boards of Directors should again hold a meeting by June 2018, to decide the final terms and conditions of the contribution, authorize the Contribution Agreement and convene the respective General Meetings of Intrasense and DMS Group, for the purposes of approval of contributions operation (based in particular on the report of the contribution assessors, designated by the Montpellier Commercial Court).
