For immediate release 4 January 2011
Quadnetics Group plc
("Quadnetics" or the "Group")
Acquisition
Quadnetics Group plc, a leader in advanced surveillance
technology and security networks, announces that it has acquired
the entire issued share capital of Persides Technology Limited
("PTL") for a total consideration of up to GBP260,000 in cash.
PTL specialises in advanced battlefield electronic monitoring
systems (EMS) and ruggedised hand-held digital video systems
(VEEcam (R)) for use in extreme environments. It is an existing
technology partner to the Group's defence business, Synectics
Defence Systems, and has played an important role in the
development of Synectics' latest generation radio frequency
detection system, Chili, which will be launched in early 2011, and
has already attracted international interest (www.synx.com/chili
).
The acquisition of PTL will augment Synectics' core intellectual
property in the defence market and will enable the Group to retain
greater margin on sales of Chili. In addition the Group's greater
financial strength and sales capability should enable sales of
VEEcam to significantly increase through Synectics' existing market
channels.
Commenting on the acquisition, John Shepherd, Chief Executive
said: "The acquisition of PTL is a significant step forward in the
restructuring and repositioning of our defence activities and opens
up new market opportunities for the Group."
