- PRESS RELEASE -


Bomi Group announces the acquisition of three business divisions from D Groupe Logistique SAS


Vaprio d'Adda, 21 March 2016 - Bomi Italia S.p.A., the parent company of Bomi Group, a market leader in the biomedical logistics sector and the management of high technology healthcare products, which is listed on the multilateral trading system of AIM Italia / Alternative Capital Market, announces that its French subsidiary "Biomedical Distribution France SAS", as previously announced in the press release of 30 December 2015, has today initiated procedures to acquire three separate medical sector business divisions from the companies Distritec SAS, Distrilog SAS and Distridirect SAS, controlled by "D Groupe Logistique SAS", an indirect minority shareholder, through Distritec SAS, of Biomedical Distribution France SAS.


The transaction, which is entirely consistent with the Bomi Group's strategy of external growth and expansion, involves the payment of a maximum consideration, for the three businesses, of about Euro 1.3 million, comprising a fixed component, payable on completion of the acquisition, of about Euro 120,000, and several variable earn-out components for the remainder (totalling about Euro 1.2 million) tied respectively (i) to the agreement of some clients to the transaction (ii) to securing contracts with core clients, or (iii) on achieving a pre-determined level of revenues. The earn-out components will be paid over a 12 - 24 month time period following completion of the acquisitions depending on the achievement of the expected results.


On completion of the transaction, Biomedical Distribution France SAS will change its corporate legal name to "Distrimedical SAS", while continuing to operate under the "Bomi" brand.


This transaction will allow Bomi Group to consolidate its expected revenues in the French market as well as to reinforce its own position in the region through investment in companies with recognised expertise in the field of biomedical logistics and which are also leaders in their markets. This acquisition, in addition to growing its presence in the French market also achieves the objective - which is perfectly in line with the Group's growth and development strategy - of acquiring "core" clients to provide them with high value-added services in target markets and at a global level in other countries where the Group is already present.


Giorgio Ruini - Chairman of Bomi Italia S.p.A. - and Jovic Radè - Chairman of Distritec SAS - commenting on the transaction, stated: "This operation represents a significant step in the growth of Bomi Group in Europe. This partnership with DGroup, the leading French company in technical transport for the healthcare sector, that can record a constant growth of more than 10 % of turnover during the last 5 years, allows us to consolidate the services offered in the transport sector and in the management of biomedical sector products and to offer to the new clients acquired, additional value added services typical of Bomi Group."
