ACQUISITION OF UNITY SOFTWARE LIMITED

Microgen plc ('Microgen' or 'the Group') is pleased to announce the acquisition of Unity Software Limited ('Unity'), a Jersey-based provider of wealth management software for the offshore finance industry. The consideration for the acquisition is £1.3 million payable in cash on completion, with adjustment for excess cash in the business at completion.

Unity will be integrated into Microgen's Financial Systems business. A key element of the strategy of the Financial Systems' business is to increase the proportion of its revenue derived from the wealth management sector through add-on acquisitions. This acquisition provides the Financial Systems business with an increased client and recurring revenue base in one of its core sectors together with an office in Jersey, a key geographical market for its products.

A number of further add-on acquisitions in the wealth management sector continue to be progressed, although the Board remains prudent and, as always, there can be no certainty that any acquisitions will be completed.
