Austria’s Raiffeisen Group secures capital increase with sights on a majority shareholding

Raiffeisen Informatik GmbH, part of the Austrian Raiffeisen Bank Group, today announced its intention to acquire a strategic interest in international ICT service provider PC-Ware Information Technologies AG. Under the terms of an immediate capital increase by PC-WARE, Raiffeisen Informatik GmbH has undertaken to inject up to EUR 36 million into the German firm via its subsidiary “PERUNI” Holding GmbH. It has agreed to purchase all the new shares not taken up by existing shareholders at a price of EUR 16.50 per no-par-value share. Again via “PERUNI” Holding GmbH (Vienna), Raiffeisen Informatik Group intends to make PC-WARE shareholders a voluntary public takeover offer at the same price of EUR 16.50 per share in cash. In this way, it hopes to acquire a holding of at least 50.1% in the share capital of PC-WARE.

Under the authority granted by the General Meeting of Shareholders on 26 August 2004 and with the approval of the Supervisory Board dated 10 October 2008, the Management Board of PC-Ware Information Technologies AG, Leipzig, (ISIN: DE0006910904) has unanimously decided to increase the company’s share capital by EUR 2,218,000 from its current level of EUR 6,124,335 to EUR 8,342,335. To this end, the company will issue 2,218,000 new individual bearer shares with a nominal value of EUR 1.00 per share and furnished with dividend rights from 1 April 2008. The cash inflow from this capital increase is intended to strengthen the company’s equity base and to finance renewed growth.

PC-WARE Information Technologies AG is systematically continuing its internationalisation. Following the successful entry to the Russian market last year, the ICT service provider is now expanding in Kazakhstan and the Ukraine. Kiev (UA) and Almaty (KZ) were selected, as two of the economically strongest regions of these countries, as headquarters of the new subsidiaries.

PC-WARE recorded another successful start to the new financial year, propelling first-quarter EBITDA by 41.4% year on year to EUR 4.0 million. At the same time, sales revenue developed extremely well, climbing by 41.2% to EUR 231.0 million. Both figures mark new records for the company and bear testimony to the dynamic rate at which PC-WARE's business has developed since its inception. Furthermore, the latest financial data shows that there was no significant contraction of the market in which the Group operates. Although the current climate is being closely monitored by PC-WARE's management team, the company will not be deterred by the gradual emergence of pessimism within the economic arena.

PC-WARE, one of Europe's leading full-service ICT providers, again succeeded in maintaining its forward momentum during the 2007/08 financial year. Operating in an IT market that remained stable despite the financial crisis sparked off in the US, the Group again generated significant revenue growth of 12.2% based on provisional figures, taking the total to EUR 776 million. The trend towards a higher percentage share of direct Microsoft Enterprise Agreements – a type of contractual agreement that contributes to the overall volume of business but does not involve revenues being recognised and reported by the Group – became more pronounced, as a result of which PC-WARE recorded a business volume equivalent to approx. EUR 960 million. Compared with the previous financial year, this corresponds to growth of 17.7% in 2007/08.
