Mr. R.Bruschi was consequently confirmed as the Managing Director of TTT, with the aim of ensuring the managerial continuity of the company.
In the context of the acquisition of the majority of the share capital of TTT, further agreements were signed concerning purchase options (Call contract in favor of DV) and sales options (Put contract in favor of HTT) on the remaining 49% of the share capital of TTT, which may be exercised upon approval of the Financial Statements for 2021 (for 19% of the remaining capital) and 2023 (for 30% of the remaining capital). It is given to Digital Value to exercise the second option right by settling the consideration in cash or in shares of Digital Value. If exercised, these contracts would therefore lead Digital Value to acquire the entire share capital of TTT by the end of the year 2024, against consideration to be determined on the basis of TTT's EBITDA at 31 December 2021, with adjustment on the NFP at 31 December 2021.
At the outcome of the successful conclusion of the acquisition of 51% of the share capital of TTT, Dr. Massimo Rossi, Executive Chairman of the Digital Value Group commented: "Our Company has so far focused on organic growth and organizational strengthening to ensure that the development of the Group was sustainable. Today Digital Value opens a new phase with which it concretely adds a first inorganic growth operation to its strategy, with the perspective of accelerating the project of consolidating a national aggregative pole in the ICT infrastructure segment. The acquisition of TTT represents a first important step in the growth project of the Digital Value Group to which TTT will significantly contribute thanks to its established territorial presence in areas not traditionally covered by us and the presidium of new industrial sectors. Digital Value incorporates with the acquisition of TTT an important core of qualified professionals who will operate in a synergistic way within our reality".
Similarly, Dr. Bruschi, CEO of TTT, commented: "After 37 years of leading my company I felt the need to evolve towards an Italian aggregative model that would enhance our assets creating more value in the long term. The Digital Value project, oriented to aggregate companies in a national pole leader
