merger, acquisition and takeover/CompuGROUP and FimeSan
Koblenz, Germany / Molfetta, Italy - 7 July
2009: CompuGROUP Holding AG, one of the world's leading e-health 
service providers, continues to strengthen its presence in Italy. 
Effective 7 July 2009, CompuGROUP holds 90.1% interest in FimeSan SpA
of Italy.
CompuGROUP has grown organically and through acquisitions since its 
founding. In June 2006, the e-health service provider entered the 
Italian market by acquiring a minority interest in FimeSan SpA. 
Effective today, CompuGROUP has significantly strengthened its 
commitment in Italy by increasing its interest in FimeSan to over 
90%.
CompuGROUP's goal is to make relevant medical information available 
to healthcare providers through electronic decision support systems 
on a timely basis. To accomplish that objective, it is important to 
ensure that individuals and organizations involved in the healthcare 
system, are effectively networked across sector boundaries. The 
business fields of FimeSan are ideally suited to the CompuGROUP 
philosophy. The company focuses primarily on solutions for doctors' 
surgeries, patient file management and a platform that enables 
everyone in the healthcare system to communicate with each other for 
the benefit of their patients. This makes FimeSan one of the most 
important providers of innovative solutions and integrated services 
for the healthcare market in Italy.
"We have strengthened our presence in Italy on the basis of close 
observation of the Italian market. This market is characterized by 
complex dynamics and an emphasis on public healthcare management. We 
anticipate strong organic growth for our company in the Italian 
market for e-health solutions. And that is entirely in line with our 
European and international strategies", explains Frank Gotthardt, CEO
of CompuGROUP Holding AG.
"The step we have taken today provides us with a solid foundation for
the future. Both in Italy and in Europe", notes Antonio Messina, 
founder and General Manager of FimeSan. "We look forward to fruitful 
cooperation and the opportunity to benefit from valuable synergies 
generated by this new constellation."
CompuGROUP plans to acquire interest in other Italian companies in 
the healthcare sector in the near future. The most recent purchase 
includes the complete acquisition of Datasun Srl, a fully-owned 
subsidiary of FimeSan specialized in statistical and epidemiological 
research. The consolidation of our interest in FimeSan was just the 
first step", confirms Jan Broer, CMO of CompuGROUP Holding AG.
