ACQUISITION OF FINALYSYS LIMITED

Microgen plc ('Microgen') is pleased to announce the acquisition of Finalysys Limited ('Finalysys'), a Jersey-based provider of wealth management software for the offshore finance industry. The maximum consideration payable for the acquisition is £0.3 million including a deferred element. The acquisition of Finalysys follows the purchase in December 2014 of Unity Software Limited.

Finalysys will be integrated into Microgen's Financial Systems business. A key element of the strategy of the Financial Systems business is to increase the proportion of its revenue derived from wealth management software through add-on acquisitions. This acquisition provides the Financial Systems business with an increased client and recurring revenue base within its core Trust & Fund Administration sector.

A number of further add-on acquisitions in the wealth management sector continue to be progressed, although the Board remains prudent and, as always, there can be no certainty that any acquisitions will be completed.
