PRESS RELEASE
Magic Software Announces Sale of AOD Subsidiary to Fortissimo Capital for $17M
Or Yehuda, Israel, December 31, 2007 -- Magic Software Enterprises Ltd. (NASDAQ: MGIC), a leading provider of business integration and application development technology, today announced the sale of the entire share capital of Advanced Answers on Demand (AOD), a wholly owned subsidiary, to Fortissimo Capital for the sum of $17 million in cash. The purchase price is payable in two installments that are payable by the end of January 2008.
In addition, as part of the transaction, Magic Software has entered into a three years license agreement with AOD which will allow AOD to continue and resell Magic's portfolio of leading products. The Company expects to record a one-time capital gain of over $9M from the sale in the fourth quarter of 2007.
AOD develops application software targeted at the long-term care industry, including retirement and continuing care facilities, home health and rehabilitation agencies.
"We are pleased with this transaction, which we view as an important step forward in our long-term strategy focused on developing our core business," said Eitan Naor, President and CEO of Magic Software. "During the past few months, we have made encouraging progress in our main business, and this transaction allows us to dedicate resources to our strategic priorities. As we look forward into 2008 we aim to continue growing and improving our core business while selling other vertical assets not related to our main focus. We commence 2008 well positioned as a focused company with over $30M in cash after giving effect to this transaction."
Details of the transaction and its impact on Magic Software's financials will be provided in the Company's fourth quarter and year end earnings release and conference call.
