Contingent Consideration
The Company agreed to pay the former shareholders of AEG PS an additional consideration of maximum €25
million in cash and a maximum of 2.5 million in class A and class B shares on a 50/50 basis subject to the
achievement of certain adjusted EBITDA targets for each of the years 2009, 2010 and 2011. Based on actual
results for 2009 and projections for 2010 and 2011, the Board of Directors consider that the earn-out will proba-
bly not be achieved for any of the years in question. Accordingly, both the cash and share elements of the earn-
out have been excluded from the determination of the purchase price for the acquisition of AEG PS.
Should this contingent consideration become probable the amount of the purchase price and goodwill will be
adjusted.
Under the terms of the earn-out, the Company or any of its subsidiaries may not undergo a change of control
during the earn-out period without, either (a) prior written consent from Ripplewood or (b) the Company first
paying all outstanding amounts of the earn-out that could become due and payable.
Transaction expenses related to the acquisition
In accordance with IFRS 3 (2004) transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition in 2009 were included
in the cost of the acquisition. The Company incurred acquisition-related costs of €4.2 million primarily relating
to external legal fees and due diligence costs. The aggregate cost of the acquisition is therefore €414.0 million.
