eServGlobal Limited (ASX:ESV, AIM:ESG) is pleased to announce that it has received the final escrow amount of AUD $11.4 million relating to the sale of its USP business to Oracle in 2010.
In 2010 eServGlobal sold its USP business and assets to Oracle for AUD$106.7 million prior to purchase price adjustments of AUD$3.6 million. The Company received an initial payment of AUD$79.4 million with the balance held in escrow and to be released in two installments, both of which have been received by eServGlobal. Oracle and eServGlobal continue to work together as partners in the mobile market.
The receipt of the escrow marks another step in the achievement of eServGlobal's strategic objectives, and enables the Company to focus on growing its mobile money and value-added services business, adding five new customers to the core business during the financial year to date. Based on these new customer wins, revenue is anticipated to grow in the second half of the financial year.
