  • S&MS: Revenues declined by 5.6% and EBITDA by 13.6% due to the delay in the trend of subscribing new contracts caused by the delay by the Ministry of Economic Development to publish the Decree for "Voucher for Internationalization" grants, which occurred at end of September.

Strategic rationale of the operation

  • Extend the range of services offered by Tecnoinvestimenti Group to companies (mainly SMEs)
  • Take advantage of the dimension of and complementary aspects of the customer base with other Group companies, in particular with Co.Mark and Assicom-Ribes, where cross-selling strategies will be implemented

Main contractual elements

The total compensation for 70% of the capital of WG, which will have a Net Financial Position equal (or close) to zero upon closing, foreseen by the end of the year, has been set at a maximum of €33.9 million, which will be paid as follows:

  • €25.7 million at closing;
  • A maximum €2.9 million within 30 days of the approval of the 2017 financial results of WG, if these meet the forecast;
  • €5.3 million paid in instalments in 5 years.

The other 30% of capital will be subject to put & call options and will be paid upon the approval of the 2018 and 2019 financial results, respectively. Such amounts will be subject to the achievement of agreed upon objectives relating to WG's EBITDA.
