Contract extension with Base Company

Artilium plc (LSE/AIM: ARTA), the AIM quoted provider of innovative telecommunication software and solutions is pleased to announce that it has extended its largest existing contract with Base Company.

The current contract will be extended for an additional year until December 2017. The value of the contract, based on the expected amount of active subscribers on the platform deployed, is expected to be approximately €2 million per annum.

As a result, Artilium will receive a cash payment each January during the contract period of approximately €1.7 million which will be recognised in equal installments over each 12 month period.

As a result of this contract extension, Artilium will continue to deliver the ARTA Platform (already implemented at Base Company) and the managed services for this platform going forward.
