CIBER ANNOUNCES INCREASED HOLDINGS IN NOVASOFT AG Public Offer Effective to over 93%
GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo.-November 24, 2004-CIBER, Inc. (NYSE: CBR), a leading international IT consultancy, announced today
that it has acquired another 5,020,000 shares of Novasoft AG (FSE: NOVG) pursuant to open market purchases and from its formal offer to the public that began October 20, 2004 and that has now
concluded. Combining these purchases with the shares CIBER initially acquired and shares held in treasury by Novasoft, CIBER now owns or controls 18,262,000 of Novasoft's 19,528,000 shares
outstanding, or 93.5 percent.
"There
was clear support by the majority of Novasoft's minority shareholders to accept our offer. We will now proceed with routine procedures in Germany to reduce our ongoing costs of
Novasoft remaining a public German company and proceed towards acquiring the balance of its shares", said Mac Slingerlend, CIBER's President and Chief Executive Officer.
"We
are not extending the public offer that concluded last week to Novasoft's minority shareholders. Doing so would only be more expensive and, in our opinion, inappropriate. However,
public market purchases remain open to us as a way of getting liquidity to the remaining Novasoft shareholders and we will continue to acquire shares via this method", concluded Slingerlend.
