Brussels, Belgium and Oslo, Norway - 5 May 2020
Reference is made to the stock exchange announcement earlier today, 5 May 2020, regarding AKKA Technologies SE's ("AKKA") announcement of a compulsory offer to acquire all shares in Data Respons ASA ("Data Respons" or the "Company") not already owned by AKKA.
The Board of Directors of AKKA has, effective from close of trading on Oslo Børs today, 5 May 2020, resolved to carry out a compulsory acquisition of all remaining shares in Data Respons not owned by AKKA, pursuant to the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act section 4-25 cf. the Norwegian Securities Trading Act section 6-22 (1). As a consequence, AKKA has assumed ownership of all shares in the Company.
The offered redemption price under the compulsory acquisition is NOK 48.00 per share, which corresponds to the offer price in the preceding mandatory offer and, according to the Norwegian Securities Trading Act section 6-22 (2), is the applicable redemption price in a subsequent compulsory acquisition. AKKA has deposited the total acquisition amount on a separate account with Handelsbanken, in accordance with the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act section 4-25 (5).
A notice regarding the compulsory acquisition will be sent to all former shareholders subject to the compulsory transfer, whose addresses are known. In addition, the compulsory acquisition may be announced through the electronic notice service of the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises (Nw. Brønnøysundregistrene) if/as required pursuant to applicable law.
As a consequence of the compulsory acquisition, AKKA will pursue a de-listing of the Company's shares from Oslo Børs. Separate stock exchange notices will be published regarding the timing for such delisting.
Oslo Børs is requested to suspend the Company's shares from trading without delay.
J.P. Morgan Securities Plc is acting as financial adviser to AKKA and DNB Markets, a part of DNB Bank ASA, is acting as domestic financial advisor and receiving agent.

- 2019 ble nok et rekordår for Data Respons. Vi har oppnådd 17% årlig vekst de siste 19 årene, noe få andre kan vise til. Samtidig leverer vi marginer på nivå med de aller beste i klassen, sier Kenneth Ragnvaldsen, CEO i Data Respons ASA.
Lønnsom vekst – en del av selskapets DNA
Data Respons fortsette den positive utviklingen gjennom 2019 og leverte omsetningsvekst på 25% samtidig som resultatet (EBITA) økte med 51%. Selskapet opplever høy aktivitet på tvers av alle geografier, forretningsområder og markeder.
Data Respons er godt posisjonert innenfor flere av de underliggende megatrendene som industriell digitalisering (SW), at alt blir oppkoblet (IoT) og automatisering, noe som har bidratt til rekordresultater de siste årene. Selskapet har styrket fotavtrykket innen mobilitet og sikret flere store kontrakter med sentrale aktører innen telekom, finans, industriell automatisering, forsvars- og energisektoren.
- Fokus på lønnsom vekst er en sentral del av selskapets DNA. Vi iverksetter hvert år mange tiltak, både kortsiktige og av mer langsiktig karakter, for å lykkes. Dette inkluderer nyetableringer, teknologioverføring, rekruttering av nye talenter, samarbeid med universiteter og kundeaktiviteter. Med en årlig vekst på 17% over de siste 19 årene har vi bevist at vi er et langsiktig vekstselskap, sier Kenneth Ragnvaldsen.
En stadig større familie med ledende nisjeselskaper
- I 2019 økte vi familien med to nye selskaper, DONAT i Tyskland og inContext i Sverige. Begge selskapene er bransjeledende på sine felt og representer sterke tilskudd til gruppen. Evnen til å identifisere og integrere selskaper som er ledende innen sin nisje, som presterer godt over tid, som har fantastiske ingeniører og som har en sterk tech-kultur er en viktig del av forretningsmodellen vår. Vi kaller det «organiske oppkjøp», sier Ragnvaldsen.
- Inkludert oppkjøpene vi gjorde i 2019 økte antallet ingeniører med 300, og vi har nå mer enn 1 400 spesialister under taket vårt. Fellesnevneren er en stor glede og entusiasme for teknologiens potensiale og spennende muligheter. Vår suksessformel handler først og fremst om spesialisering på teknologi i kombinasjon med dyp domenekunnskap. Hos Data Respons er det å være en «nerd» en hedersbetegnelse. Tilliten våre kunder viser oss er til syvende og sist basert på nettopp det – et sterkt kompetansemiljø, sier Kenneth Ragnvaldsen, CEO i Data Respons ASA.
Fortsatt god utvikling i sikte
- Vi har lagt et fantastisk år bak oss med både rekordsterk vekst og lønnsomhet. Markedsutsiktene er fortsatt gode og vi opplever en økende etterspørsel fra våre kunder som ønsker å investere i ny teknologi, digitale produktplattformer og mer bærekraftige løsninger. Data Respons vil fortsette veksten gjennom en kombinasjon av god organisk utvikling og utvalgte oppkjøp i Norden og Tyskland. Summen av det vi i gang med nå styrker vår posisjon som en komplett teknologipartner for fremtidsrettede industri- og teknologibedrifter, sier Ragnvaldsen.
Frivillig tilbud fra AKKA Technologies
Den 19. desember 2019 lanserte AKKA Technologies SE et tilbud om å kjøpe alle aksjene i Data Respons for 48 kroner per aksje med oppgjør i kontanter. Tilbudet tilsvarer en verdsettelse av Data Respons på 3,7 milliarder kroner.
- AKKA bekrefter, gjennom sitt bud på Data Respons, at vi klart å bygge et attraktivt selskap med en lovende fremtid. Potensialet i dette oppkjøpet representerer en vinn-vinn for begge selskaper. Det kombinerte selskapet vil kunne skape merverdier for våre kunder og representerer enestående muligheter for våre fantastiske ansatte, som er både hjertet og hjernen til selskapet vårt, konkluderer Ragnvaldsen.

- 2019 turned out to be yet another record year for Data Respons. We have achieved an impressive 17% annual growth over the last 19 years and at the same time increased our margins to best in class performance, says Kenneth Ragnvaldsen, CEO of Data Respons ASA.
Profitable growth – a part of the company DNA
Data Respons continued its positive development in 2019 with a revenue growth of 25% and increased its results (EBITA) by 51% at the same time. The company is experiencing high activity across all geographical regions, business segments and markets.
Data Respons is well positioned in the underlying megatrends of industrial digitalisation (software acceleration), connectivity (IoT) and automation, which has contributed to a record performance this year. The company has strengthened its footprint in the mobility sector and signed several major contracts with key customers in other verticals like the Telecom & Media, Finance and Industrial Automation, Security, Space and Defence and Energy and Maritime.
- Focus on profitable growth is a core part of the company’s DNA, and we are continuously launching new short- and long-term initiatives to sustain this over time. Initiatives include new start-ups, technology transfer, recruitment of new talent, collaboration with universities and customer partnerships. With an average annual growth of 17% over the last 19 years, I think it fair to say that Data Respons is a true growth company, says Kenneth Ragnvaldsen, CEO of Data Respons ASA.
A growing family of high performers
- During 2019, we successfully added two more companies to the group, DONAT in Germany and inContext in Sweden. Both are leading players in their niche and represent important contributions to our offerings. Identifying strong candidates with excellent performance, fantastic engineers and a peopled based culture is an important part of our business model. We call it “organic M&A”, says Ragnvaldsen.
- Including our 2019 acquisitions, we added on 300 new engineers and the group now represents more than 1 400 specialists. The common denominator is their enthusiasm for new technology and the exciting opportunities it offers. The key to our success is the niche specialist focus in combination with in-depth domain knowledge. At Data Respons, being a nerd is a designation of honour. The trust and confidence shown by our customers rely on us having an excellent specialist environment, says Kenneth Ragnvaldsen, CEO of Data Respons ASA.
Positive development ahead
- We have experienced a fantastic 2019, with revenues and profitability both reaching record levels. The market outlook remains positive and we are experiencing an increasing demand from customers looking to invest in new technology, digital platforms and more sustainable solutions. Data Respons is determined to continue its growth through a combination of organic development and selective bolt-on acquisitions in the Nordics and Germany, which will strengthen our position as a complete technology partner for innovative industry and technology companies, Ragnvaldsen says.
Voluntary cash offer from AKKA Technologies
On the 19th December 2019, AKKA Technologies SE launched a voluntary cash offer at NOK 48 per share for all of Data Respons’ outstanding shares. AKKA’s offer corresponds to an equity value of Data Respons of NOK 3.7 billion.
- AKKA’s interest in Data Respons confirms that we have built a well-driven business that is attractive and that represents a promising future. The potential in this merger represents a win-win situation for both companies. The combined company will create added value for our customers, and at the same time be an outstanding opportunity for our fantastic employees, which is the heart, soul and value of our company, Ragnvaldsen concludes

AKKA and Data Respons have entered into a transaction agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”) regarding acquisition of Data Respons by the Offeror. Under the terms of the agreement, the Offeror will put forward a recommended voluntary cash offer (the “Offer”) pursuant to the Norwegian Securities Trading Act for all of the shares of Data Respons.
Kenneth Ragnvaldsen, CEO of Data Respons said: “The proposed acquisition of Data Respons, by AKKA, gives our team an increased potential for development and the two companies are definitively a good strategic match. We share the same values as well as the passion for innovation as AKKA.

About the Offer
The consideration offered will be NOK 48.00 per Data Respons share (the "Offer Price"). The Offer Price represents a premium of approximately 20% to the closing price of Data Respons on 18 December 2019. It represents a premium of approximately 29% and 34% to the 3-month and 6-month volume weighted average share price of Data Respons for the period ending on 18 December 2019, respectively.
The Offer values the total share capital of Data Respons at approximately NOK 3.7 billion on a fully diluted basis.

(i) A minimum, waivable, acceptance level of 90% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Data Respons; and
(ii) Regulatory clearance from the German Federal Cartel Office for completion of the Offer.
The Offeror intends to do the filing early January 2020 and to run the first phase of the clearance process (expected to be four weeks) in parallel with the acceptance period. Although a different scenario cannot be ruled out, the Offeror's initial assessment is that clearance may be expected during the first phase. In the event the German Federal Cartel Office initiates a second phase clearance procedure, in addition to the Offer Price, the Offeror will pay interest on the Offer Price equal to 2% pro annum from such date that it becomes evident that the German Federal Cartel Office initiates a phase 2 clearance procedure to and including the earlier of; (i) the date settlement takes place, or (ii) the date falling three months after such date that the German Federal Cartel Office initiates a phase 2 Clearance procedure. The Offeror will not pay interest compensation in the event that the Offer is not completed

The complete details of the Offer, including all terms and conditions, will be contained in an offer document (the “Offer Document”) to be sent to Data Respons’ shareholders following review and approval by the Oslo Stock Exchange pursuant to Chapter 6 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act. The offer period is expected to start mid-January and is expected to be four weeks from the date of approval of the Offer Document, subject to extension by AKKA. The Offeror must publicly announce that the conditions for closing of the Offer have been met or waived at the latest 16:30 CET on 31 May 2020. Shareholders are urged to read the Offer Document when it is available as it will contain important information, including the unanimous recommendation from the Board of Directors of Data Respons.
As part of the Transaction Agreement with AKKA and subject to customary conditions, Data Respons has entered into undertakings to only amend or withdraw its recommendation of the Offer if a competing offer is made, and the Board of Directors of Data Respons, acting in good faith and taking into account all aspects of such offer, considers it to be more favourable to the shareholders of Data Respons, and the Offeror has not matched the superior offer within five business days. In the event that the Board of Directors of Data Respons receives a superior competing offer less than seven business days before the expiry of the acceptance period in the Offer, then the Board of Directors of Data Respons shall not be under an obligation to permit the Offeror to amend the Offer unless the acceptance period in the Offer is extended with a minimum two Business Days after the later of the expiry of the mentioned matching five business days period and the prevailing acceptance period. Withdrawal, amendment or qualification of the recommendation from the Board of Directors of Data Respons will trigger an obligation for Data Respons to pay a break fee of NOK 10 million to the Offeror if the Offer is not completed. As part of the Transaction Agreement, Data Respons has also undertaken not to, and to procure that none of its directors or executive management, inter alia solicit or initiate offers from third parties or, subject to customary exceptions and the fiduciary duty of the board of directors of Data Respons, engage in discussions or negotiations with any person that constitutes, or could lead to a competing offer provided that if Data Respons is approached by an unsolicited bona fide third party in relation to a possible competing offer, then Data Respons is entitled to enter into discussions with such third party and provide it with due diligence information, in accordance with the fiduciary duties of the board of directors of Data Respons.

Further, subject to the outcome of the Offer, AKKA intends to propose to the general meeting of Data Respons that an application is filed with the Oslo Stock Exchange to de-list the shares from the Oslo Stock Exchange.
