MADRID, Nov. 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Lleida.net's (BME: LLN) (OTCQX: LLEIF) (EPA: ALLLN) General Shareholders Meeting approved today the purchase of Indenova, a tech company whose acquisition was announced last October 27th.

Lleida.net's investors, led by its main shareholder, Sisco Sapena, and gathered in Madrid, voted overwhelmingly in favor of the transaction.  

The decision was backed by 98.44 percent of the shareholders present at the meeting and will be effective immediately.

The acquisition entails an investment of 7.1 million euros. As part of the transaction, Lleida.net will assume an existing debt of 1.6 million.

"The purchase of Indenova represents a step forward in Lleida.net's growth objectives for the next years, and I am sure it will be profitable from the first moment," explained Sisco Sapena, CEO and founder.

With this operation and the aggregate data for 2020, Lleida.net EBITDA would grow over 3.79 million euros. As a result, the combined turnover of both companies will amount to approximately 19.72 million.

The acquisition will be paid in five stages over four years. In an initial step, a cash payment of EUR 4 million will be made, followed by a second cash payment of EUR 1.578 million at the end of 2022. The remaining payments will be made in Lleida.net shares.

The transaction will be financed by bank loans already granted in the third quarter at a weighted interest rate of Euribor plus 0.83%.

Indenova's current COO, Jordi Gisbert, becomes COO and Executive Director of the subsidiary.
