Kingswood will pay an initial GBP9.6 million in cash, up to GBP6.4 million as a deferred consideration, depending on the achievement of certain performance targets, and a performance based earn-out linked to the three-year earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation rise for IBOSS.
