Totally plc
("Totally", "the Company" or the "Group")
Payment of initial tranche of deferred consideration pursuant to the acquisition of About Health Limited
On 16 June 2016, Totally plc (AIM: TLY), the provider of a range of out-of-hospital services to the UK healthcare sector, announced the acquisition of the entire issued share capital of About Health Limited ("About Health"), a leading provider of dermatology and referral management services to the NHS in the UK.
The maximum consideration for the acquisition of About Health is £7.7 million, wholly based on its financial performance. The initial consideration, payable to the vendors of About Health on completion, was satisfied through a cash payment of £1.83 million (the "Initial Payment"). The initial consideration was subsequently reduced by £0.12 million following an adjustment based on About Health's completion accounts. Under the acquisition agreement entered into between Totally and the vendors of About Health on 15 June 2016, there are a further three potential deferred payments payable based on the financial performance of About Health for the years ended 31 March 2017, 31 March 2018 and 31 March 2019. Further details on the deal structure are detailed in the announcement released by the Company on 16 June 2016.
The Board of Totally is pleased to report that the first deferred payment was made on 26 September 2017. About Health's financial performance for the first earn-out period ended 31 March 2017 has been in line with the Board's expectations and this has resulted in a payment of approximately £1.11 million in cash being made to the vendors of About Health (the "Y2 Payment"). The calculation of the Y2 Payment has been based on the pre-tax profits of About Health for the year ended 31 March 2017 and is in accordance with the methodology outlined in the announcement released by Totally on 16 June 2016 and the acquisition agreement that was entered into with About Health.
Wendy Lawrence, CEO of Totally, commented: "Since Totally's acquisition of About Health in June 2016 the business has performed exceptionally. We have witnessed significant momentum building not only in the number of contracts being signed with NHS Clinical Commissioning Groups but also the quality, diversity and value of these contracts, reinforcing About Health's market leading position in Dermatology and Referral Management Services (RMS).
"The performance of About Health to date demonstrates our ability to acquire high quality businesses as part of our buy-and-build strategy."
