Disposal

Sale of Pentana Compliance (formerly Redland Business Solutions)

Ideagen, a leader in compliance software for highly regulated industries, has signed an agreement to sell the trade and principal assets of its Pentana Compliance business unit (formerly known as Redland Business Solutions) to StarCompliance, a leading provider of employee compliance technology solutions to the global financial services industry.

Pentana Compliance provides solutions for the Senior Managers Certification Regime ("SMCR") and associated training and competency ("T&C") services, focussed on the UK market.

The Group had concluded that this offering was no longer in keeping with its focus on global software-based solutions for QHSE, GRC and Collaboration, and the proceeds of $21.3 million in cash will be deployed in this strategy.

Ben Dorks, Chief Executive Officer of Ideagen, said:

"We are pleased to have found a great home for our customers and our people who will bring great expertise, energy and capability to StarCompliance in the UK. The division was no longer core to our software-led offering and we look forward to reporting further progress in coming weeks."
