The price paid for the acquired entity is 2,0 M EUR and shall be paid on admission day, plus additional purchase price based on company profit in 2006, maximum 0,6 M EUR. The additional purchase price shall be paid in March 2007. The acquisition creates surplus value of 1,5 M EUR plus possible additional purchase price. The acquisition is expected to give a positive contribution to Nefab’s earnings per share in 2006.
