| Netcall plc ("Netcall") is a Cambridge based company and its ordinary shares are admitted to trading on AIM. Netcall designs, develops and markets a range of callback, auto messaging and contact and workforce management solutions to organisations of a wide range of sizes and industry sectors, including many blue-chip companies. Netcall generates revenue from software licences, plus support and maintenance and the provision of its products through a software as a service (SaaS) model. The run rate aggregate revenues from support and maintenance and the SaaS model are of a recurring nature and exceed the Netcall Group's operating costs.
On 1 June 2010, Netcall and Telephonetics plc ("Telephonetics") announced that they had agreed the terms of a recommended acquisition by Netcall of the entire ordinary share capital of Telephonetics. Telephonetics is a UK-based company quoted on AIM that provides business solutions that enable its clients to streamline the interaction with their own customers, thereby enhancing service levels, increasing efficiency and reducing overall operating costs. These solutions are built on its own platforms: SEMAP+ communications platform (Speech Enabled Multi-Application Platform) which blends advanced speech recognition and voice automation; and Eden which enables data integration.
Netcall identified Telephonetics' product portfolio and customer base as being complementary to Netcall and believes that the acquisition is synergistic. The acquisition of Telephonetics is a reverse take-over for Netcall under Rule 14.
