Earn Out Payment
As a result of Perceptive achieving all of the specified earn out targets for the period to 21 November 2014, the Vendors have been paid the maximum additional consideration of £300,000 in accordance with the Acquisition Agreement.
Background to the Acquisition
Instem acquired Perceptive in November 2013 for a maximum consideration of £1.3m, including the conditional earn out, marking the Company's entrance into the in vitro R&D marketplace.
Perceptive is located in Suffolk, UK, and develops, manufactures and supplies software and hardware products for in vitro study data collection and study management in the genetic toxicology, microbiology and immunology markets.

We are looking forward to another strong contribution from this area in 2015 and beyond."
