FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Agilysys Completes Acquisition of Innovativ
BOCA RATON, Fla. — July 2, 2007 — Agilysys, Inc. (NASDAQ: AGYS), a leading provider of innovative IT solutions, today announced it has completed its acquisition of Innovativ Systems Design, Inc., a privately held integrator and value-added reseller of servers, enterprise storage management products and professional services.
At approximately $260 million in revenues, Innovativ is the largest U.S. commercial reseller of Sun Microsystems servers and storage products. The company designs, implements and deploys complex, large-scale IT infrastructure solutions, acting as a single hardware, software and services source for its enterprise customers. Employing an experienced team of senior technology and business experts, Innovativ also offers a broad portfolio of proprietary professional services to support its customer solutions. With the company’s Sun relationship and strong presence in financial services and telecommunications, the acquisition will further diversify Agilysys’ supplier mix, establish new markets and broaden the company’s customer base.
Arthur Rhein, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Agilysys, said, “The addition of Innovativ establishes a new and significant relationship between Sun and Agilysys and represents an important step in continuing Agilysys’ growth as one of the leading providers of IT solutions to corporate and public-sector customers.”
The purchase price of $100 million will be funded by cash on hand. In addition, Agilysys will pay an earn-out of two dollars for every dollar of EBITDA greater than $50 million in cumulative EBITDA over the first two years after closing. The earn-out will be limited to a maximum payout of $90 million.
