As The New Lawyer reported earlier this week, Blake Dawson advised RWS Holdings on the deal.
RWS Holdings has acquired one-third interest in the provider of web-based international patent filing solutions, and an agreement to acquire the remaining share capital, for a maximum aggregate price of US$31.2 million in September 2013.
The total cash consideration of the deal comprises an initial payment of US$5.8 million and deferred consideration for the remaining two thirds of the issued share capital, which will be calculated according to an agreed earn-out formula and payable in September 2013.
The deferred consideration is capped at a maximum of US$25.4 million, which will become due if revenue and EBITDA targets for the year ended 30 June 2013 are achieved.
inovia is the largest non-law firm provider of international patent filing solutions globally, Swaab said today.
Swaab advised inovia and its shareholders on all legal aspects of the transaction.
