Prokom to buy second tranche in Softbank by April 10

The country's biggest IT company Prokom, together with Swiss investment fund Nihonsvi, is to purchase a further tranche of Warsaw-based IT integrator Softbank by April 10. After this transaction, Gdynia-based Prokom will practically take control of the biggest integrator, favored in the tender for computerization of bank PKO BP. "In keeping with the shareholders' agreement, after Prokom passes the 20% threshold, it will virtually take control over Softbank. I believe, however, that this is not the end of share purchases by the Gdynia-based company," stated Sobiesław Pająk, an analyst from CDM Pekao. According to a September agreement, each share will cost zł. 13, while on the stock exchange Softbank's shares are listed at zł. 17. (Puls Biznesu, p. 8) A.C.
