Heyde sees the future in software alliances
Inflow of liquidity over EUR 30 million
(Bad Nauheim – July 31, 2001) As part of its restructuring program, the Heyde
Group is hiving off its product business and is expanding its cooperation
strategy. A financial investor will be the major shareholder with 60,39% the new
product company which will carry the brand ELAXY. The managers of Heyde’s
existing consolidated subsidiary ELAXY AG will hold 16%. With 23,16% Heyde AG
will continue to have direct access to the ELAXY Group software products. The
ELAXY Group consists of the former Heyde subsidiaries ELAXY AG, Gisma GmbH, and
Atzlinger Turck GmbH.
At the same time, Heyde is selling its investment in the software companies IT
Warehouse AG, Hamburg and KEOS Software und Service GmbH, Rodenbach near
Frankfurt. Its former owners and new CEOs or General Managers will acquire the
companies.
Heyde will continue the successful collaboration with both the ELAXY Group and
IT Warehouse under a strategic partnership. Dr. Holger Kleingarn, member of the
Management Board of Heyde AG, responsible for the Software Products Business
will become CEO of the ELAXY Holding GmbH and will leave the Heyde Management
Board effective July 31, 2001 because of changed majority proportions. Dirk
Wittenborg, CEO of Heyde AG will take a seat on the Supervisory Board of the
ELAXY Holding GmbH. Heyde AG will provide the new company with comprehensive
support as a sales and systems integration partner.
Heyde’s cooperation strategy will enable it to strengthen its existing alliances
with leading software manufacturers (including SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, and BEA)
and to expand its cooperation network. The company is opening up additional
sales opportunities by increasing its software expertise in the interests of its
customers, who are increasingly choosing best of breed providers.
Heyde AG will generate net proceeds of at least EUR 25 million from the
resulting transactions. Together with the recent transactions, Heyde secures
liquidity inflow of EUR 30 million through the sale of non-strategic assets as
announced in April this year.
