All for One Steeb AG Planning an Equity Acquisition to Expand Technology
Consulting for Large Corporations Operating Their Own Data Centers
Acquisition of majority stake in Grandconsult DEXINA GmbH intended / Aims

Filderstadt, 20 March 2015 - All for One Steeb AG and DEXINA AG, Böblingen,
have today reached an agreement about the key elements pertaining to All
for One Steeb AG's incremental acquisition of a 74.9% equity interest in
the newly-established Grandconsult DEXINA GmbH, Filderstadt. Plans call for
the share purchase agreement to be signed and implemented in the coming
weeks, all of which depends mainly on obtaining approvals by the respective
boards. The total purchase price for the majority interest is approximately
EUR 2 million and is to be paid in cash. A minor part of which is a
variable purchase price component to be paid as an earn-out, the amount of
which depends on the occurrence of certain events within the next two
years.
In order to implement the planned transaction, DEXINA AG will contribute
its IT- / Technology Consulting activities, which generated a good EUR 6
million in sales revenues during the calendar year 2014, to the
Grandconsult DEXINA GmbH before the shareholdings are acquired by All for
One Steeb AG. After the share acquisition, All for One Steeb will transfer
its Grandconsult Technology and Management Consulting operations to the
Grandconsult DEXINA GmbH, so that at the conclusion of the implementation
phase it will then hold 74.9% of the shareholdings in Grandconsult DEXINA
GmbH. The planned share purchase agreement also includes a call and put
option on the remaining shareholdings held by DEXINA AG.
SAP Cloud Solutions, the real-time database platform SAP HANA, and
virtualisation in conjunction with conventional IT landscapes are crucial
challenges, especially for large corporations that operate their own data
centers. This is why there is such a demand for what are called »trusted
advisors« who can provide an all-inclusive approach to consulting on such
strategic technology issues as the design, virtualisation, flexibilisation
and orchestration of specific reference architectures, effective ongoing
support to IT operations through service level agreements and additional
management and process consulting.
All for One Steeb AG - itself one of the leading private cloud providers
for the operation of business software from within its data centers in
Germany - uses its Grandconsult brand to advise the data centers of
well-known large corporations and operates its own Joint Research &
Development Lab at SAP in Waldorf together with such partners as NetApp,
Cisco and VmWare. These are the kinds of technology skills and expertise
that are also becoming important for transferring innovation to benefit
small and mid-sized enterprises, which form All for One Steeb's core
market.
