SINOSOFT TECHNOLOGY PLC - "SINOSOFT" OR THE "COMPANY"
ACQUISITION OF SOFTWARE COMPANY TO AID DOMESTIC EXPANSION PLANS
Sinosoft, the China-based developer and provider of software and IT solutions to Chinese regional and national government agencies and export enterprises, is pleased to announce the acquisition of Jiangsu SkyInformation Co., Ltd. ("SkyInformation") a China based software company for a cash consideration of RMB4.7 million (c. £420,000). The consideration is payable in two installments; one on 10 August 2009 and a second payment on 31 January 2010.
SkyInformation was founded in 2005 to focus on software coding research and has two software copyrights. Sinosoft will be able to use SkyInformation's software license to further develop new products and apply for the corresponding government grants that are available to Chinese registered companies. The Company is hopeful that following the acquisition of SkyInformation the enlarged group will immediately be better placed to win government mandates that were otherwise not eligible to foreign invested companies such as Nanjing Skytech and Nanjing Software.
Ms Xin, Chief Executive of Sinosoft, commented: "This acquisition is the ideal catalyst for our stated aim of expanding Sinosoft's successful government outsourcing business across China. The management feel that now is the right time in the economic cycle to make this purchase and we are fully focused on maximising the opportunity"
