Contract with Toyota Caucasus LLC

RNS Number : 8663P

("incadea" or "the Group")



Contract with Toyota Caucasus LLC



Expands worldwide footprint to cover additional countries in the Caucasus region



incadea plc (LSE-AIM: INCA), a leading provider of enterprise software and services to the global automotive dealership industry, is pleased to announce it has won a contract with Toyota Caucasus LLC, headquartered in Georgia.



This contract was signed by incadea's Russian business and expands the Group's worldwide presence to cover additional countries of the CIS region, including Azerbaijan, Armenia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. In addition, incadea will increase its existing presence in Georgia, where it has been active for a number of years with a different OEM customer.



incadea's next generation Dealer Management System, incadea.myengine, will be implemented across Toyota's Caucasus dealerships over the next 12-18 months. incadea.myengine was selected through a competitive tender due to its ability to optimise business processes and improve enterprise planning, as well as due to the Group's proven capabilities in executing projects within the CIS region.



Global growth in automotive sales is to be strongly driven by BRIC markets. Premium brands, Chinese brands and SUVs are witnessing growth in areas such as the Caucasus region due to a rising affluent middle class, the considerable age of cars and a low car density (Ernst and Young report 2014). It is estimated that the demand for cars in Georgia and the surrounding region will grow by 11-12% CAGR over the five years to 2016 as the GDP and income levels rise (PWC report).



George Tsiramua, IT Manager from Toyota Caucasus LLC, stated: "Toyota Caucasus selected to work with incadea due to its market leading technology and unrivalled expertise within the automotive dealer management sector. incadea's global presence supports our multi-national locations within the Caucasus and Middle Asia region and we look forward to integrating this technology across our dealerships."



Patrick Katenkamp, Chief Executive Officer of incadea plc, commented: "We are proud to have been selected by Toyota to implement our next generation incadea.myengine product across their dealerships in the Caucasus region. This contract across the CIS region further extends incadea's global footprint throughout key automotive markets; an important part of our stated growth strategy. Incadea aims to expand its regional partnerships with the majority of the leading global OEMs by 2017, and this contract in conjunction with other recent news demonstrates strong progress on this front."





As anticipated, the performance of incadea Russia and the CIS business has improved since 2013 and the outlook is positive for the remainder of 2014.

DEALERTRACK TECHNOLOGIES, INC. ("Dealertrack")

· The Boards of incadea and Dealertrack are pleased to announce that they have reached agreement on the terms of a recommended cash offer by Dealertrack for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of incadea (the "Offer").

· Under the terms of the Offer, incadea Shareholders who accept the offer will be entitled to receive 190 pence in cash for each incadea Share.

· The consideration for the Offer represents, on a fully diluted basis, a value of approximately £121.6 million in aggregate, and the Offer Price represents a premium of approximately:

- 59.7 per cent. to the Closing Price of 119.0 pence per incadea Share on 3 December 2014, being the last Business Day prior to the announcement that incadea and Dealertrack were in discussions regarding a possible offer;

- 74.6 per cent. to the volume-weighted average Closing Price of 108.8 pence per incadea Share for the 30 days ended 3 December 2014, being the last Business Day prior to the announcement that incadea and Dealertrack were in discussions regarding a possible offer; and

- 37.2 per cent. to the Closing Price of 138.5 pence per incadea Share on 17 December 2014, being the last Business Day prior to this announcement.

· The Board of incadea, which has been so advised by Cenkos, considers the terms of the Offer to be fair and reasonable. In providing advice to the incadea Directors, Cenkos has taken into account the commercial assessments of the incadea Directors. Accordingly, the incadea Directors intend unanimously to recommend that incadea Shareholders accept the Offer, as the incadea Directors who hold incadea Shares have irrevocably undertaken to do in respect of their own holdings of incadea Shares (further details of these irrevocable undertakings are contained below).

· Dealertrack has received irrevocable undertakings to accept the Offer (as more particularly described in paragraph 6 and Appendix III of the attached announcement), from:

- Danbury Enterprises Limited, Kikero Enterprises Limited, Treadstone Holdings Limited and Delanglade Holdings Limited, companies controlled by non-executive incadea Director Nikolaos Vardinoyannis and certain of his close relatives, in respect of their entire beneficial holdings of incadea Shares (amounting to, in aggregate, 31,563,811 incadea Shares, representing approximately 50.62 per cent. of the existing issued share capital of incadea);

- The irrevocable undertakings given to Dealertrack by the persons set out above, will remain in full force and effect in the event of a competing offer for incadea.

· The Board of Dealertrack believes that the Offer has a clear and compelling strategic and financial rationale. Dealertrack, which has a strong track record of acquiring and integrating companies, believes incadea represents an excellent opportunity for Dealertrack to:

- create a global footprint with a strong base of installed international customers in Europe, Asia and Latin America;

- further develop strong, international relationships and cross-selling opportunities with key OEMs;

- expand Dealertrack's total addressable market (which is expected to increase by approximately $4.0 billion for DMS alone); and

- offer Dealertrack's existing product portfolio into incadea's customer base over the medium term.

· It is intended that the Offer is to be effected by means of a takeover offer within the meaning of Article 116 of the Companies Law. Dealertrack reserves the right to effect the Offer by way of a Scheme under certain circumstances. The Offer Document, containing further information about the Offer, together with the Form of Acceptance, will be posted to incadea Shareholders and (for information purposes only) participants in the incadea Share Scheme shortly and, in any event, within 28 days of this announcement.

· The Offer is conditional, inter alia, upon valid acceptances being received (and not, where permitted, withdrawn) by not later than 1.00 p.m. on the date which is 21 days after the date on which the Offer Document is circulated to incadea Shareholders (or such later times and/or dates as Dealertrack may, subject to the rules of the Code or with the consent of the Panel, decide) in respect of not less than 75 per cent. (or such lower percentage as Dealertrack may decide in its absolute discretion) in nominal value of the incadea Shares which carry voting rights to which the Offer relates, as further detailed in paragraph 1 of Appendix I. The Offer will also be subject, inter alia, to the satisfaction or waiver of the Conditions and certain further terms set out in Appendix I to this announcement and in the Offer Document and, in respect of incadea Shares held in certificated form, the Form of Acceptance.

Commenting on the Offer, Mark F. O'Neil, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Dealertrack, said:

"The acquisition of incadea is an exciting development for Dealertrack. It represents a great opportunity to grow our business internationally while developing relationships with key international OEMs and other global clients. We are delighted to welcome incadea's excellent management team led by Patrick Katenkamp to Dealertrack and we look forward to working together to capitalise on the many growth opportunities for the combined company."

Commenting on the Offer, Philip Lawler, Chairman of incadea, said:

"Following our assessment of strategic alternatives, the Board believes that the Offer from Dealertrack represents a very good result for incadea Shareholders that reflects the value created by the executive management team since its initial public offering in May 2012. The offer premium of approximately 60 per cent. to the Closing Price of 119 pence per incadea Share on 3 December 2014, being the last Business Day prior to the date of the announcement that incadea and Dealertrack were in discussions, is an excellent return for the shareholders of incadea.

The Board would like to pay tribute to the management team and employees of incadea whose hard work and dedication has created a business of considerable value. We are confident that incadea will add value to the growth plan of the enlarged enterprise."
