Columbus IT Partner A/S (”Columbus IT”) is offering 26,434,873 new shares at
a
price of DKK 1.90 per share with pre-emptive rights for existing
shareholders
of the Company at a ratio of 3:1. The net proceeds of app. DKK
47.9M will be
used partly for investment in focusing of the Company and partly
for
acquisitions. 

Today, the Board of Directors in Columbus IT decided to
exercise its
authorization to increase the share capital of the Company. Thus,
Columbus IT
is today publishing a prospectus in connection with the capital
increase with
pre-emptive rights for existing shareholders of the Company
(”the Offering”). 

The Offering comprises 26,434,873 new shares with a
nominal value of DKK 1.25
with pre-emptive rights for existing shareholders.


The shares are offered at a ratio of 3:1 (which means that shareholders
will be
allocated one (1) pre-emptive right for each existing share, and three
(3)
pre-emptive rights entitle shareholders to subscribe for one (1) new
share).
The subscription price is fixed at DKK 1.90 per share. In total the
Offering
comprises DKK 33,043,591.25 (nom.), corresponding to 26,434,873 new
shares of
DKK 1.25 (nom.) per share. 

The purpose of the capital increase
is to strengthen Columbus IT Partner A/S's
capital base, partly to be able to
invest in focusing of the Company on
development and implementation of a few
verticals and partly to ensure
available funds for acquisitions. 

If the
Offering is implemented gross proceeds will amount to DKK 50.2M and
net
proceeds to app. DKK 47.9M after deduction of costs. The Offering is
100%
guaranteed by Consolidated Holdings A/S. 

Reason for the Offering
In
the market for ERP solutions there is an increasing demand for
industry
solutions which correspond to the unique requirements of the
individual
industries. 

In the future, the Company has therefore decided to
focus on development and
implementation of selected standard solutions based
on Microsoft Dynamics and
wishes to expand within these solutions. 

The
Group will focus on the industry specific solutions (”Verticals”),
within
which the Group already possesses industry knowledge and
experience-based “best
practice” processes. With the acquisition of
To-Increase, the Group obtained
the possibility to gather and intensify the
development actions for the
verticals. 

Now, the Group will initiate a
change of the organization to a business which
obtains results through global
execution of well-defined industry solutions
with: 

•	a documented
concept
•	limited need for education and controlling 
•	focus on customers'
return on net assets in relation with the implementation. 

Furthermore, this
will lead to a higher rate of utilization of consultants,
which will
consequently improve the earnings capacity of the Group. The
organizational
change will, however, require investments in supplementary
training, internal
processes and development of industry solutions, etc. 

Against this
background the Group wishes to strengthen its equity base, partly
to be able
to carry out the necessary investments, and partly to ensure the
necessary
financial flexibility to be able to utilize the strategic
development
possibilities which may occur, through constant liquidity
resources for company
acquisitions or start-up of new subsidiaries. 

Use of
proceeds
When the Offering is implemented net proceeds after deduction of
estimated
costs related to the Offering will amount to DKK 47.9M, as the
underwriting
agreement guarantees 100% subscription of the Offering. 

The
proceeds from the Offering will improve the capital base of the Company
and,
together with the expected cash flow from operations, be spent on the
planned
investments in the organizational change, development of verticals
and
investments in growth. Company acquisitions or establish¬ment of
new
subsidiaries are expected to constitute app. half of the proceeds.
