Vtion Wireless Technology AG plans a Management Buyout of its subsidiary
Vtion Anzhuo
Frankfurt, 23 March 2015. The Supervisory Board has approved today that
Vtion Wireless Technology AG (Vtion AG) sells the 100 per cent of equity
stake of its subsidiary Vtion Anzhou. The shareholding offers
software-related business services which consists of a customized appstore
for the system Android as well as insurance industry solutions. Vtion
Anzhuo only generated an insignificant part to the over-all revenues of the
group and has made an operating loss in the past three years.
In this period, Vtion Anzhuo could not achieve the striven growth
objectives and profitability targets. The Management Board anticipates the
operating loss to be continued in the next few years. After comprehensive
assessment, the Management Board and Supervisory Board of Vtion AG took the
decision to sell the whole equity stake of Vtion Anzhuo to the Vtion Anzhuo
management team via a management buyout.
For this acquisition, the "Ruihua Certified Public Accountants" were
commissioned as an independent third party to evaluate the fair value of
Vtion Anzhou. They composed an official valuation report for the
transaction and determined the arm's length price. The disposal price for
Vtion Anzhuo is ascertained at 6 million RMB (approx. 0.9 million Euros).
After divesting the software-related businesses of Vtion Anzhuo and the
industry specific computing solutions, the Management Board permanently
evaluates and reconsiders the business strategy of Vtion AG on the
company's historic core competency of wireless data terminals. In order to
avoid the margin pressure typically associated with hardware-centric
businesses, the company will seek to develop more customized products over
the course of 2015.
