DistIT AB (publ) has entered into a sale and purchase agreement regarding the transfer of the majority of the assets of its wholly owned subsidiary Septon Holding AB
DistIT AB (publ) ("DistIT") has today entered into a sale and purchase agreement regarding the sale of the majority of the assets of the wholly owned subsidiary Septon Holding AB. The sale and purchase agreement has been entered into with Exertis CapTech AB, one of the largest distributors of IT and Pro AV products, configuration services, security and surveillance equipment in the Nordic region.
The transaction will be implemented through a transfer of the majority of the inventory and other assets in DistIT's wholly owned subsidiary Septon Holding AB and its subsidiaries. The transaction does not include Septon's own brand Tight AV.
The transaction is intended to include the transfer of the personnel employed in Septon Holding AB and its subsidiaries, with the exception of the personnel working with the DistIT Group's own brand Tight AV.
The sales price will be calculated at the inventory upon receipt, minus deductions for obsolescence depending on its age, and other costs related to the transfer. As of December 31, 2024, Septon's inventory (excluding Tight AV) amounted to SEK 85.3 million. The final purchase price will not be known until the closing.
As part of the transaction, a distribution agreement will be negotiated between DistIT AB and Exertis CapTech AB for the continued sale and distribution of the DistIT Group's own brand Tight AV in the Nordic market.
The transaction is intended to be completed by the end of April 2025, provided that any competition approvals have been obtained, union negotiations have been performed and other customary conditions have been met.
