Afcon Holdings Group, a company specializing in complex systems and technology projects, announced Tuesday it has entered into an agreement through a wholly-owned subsidiary to acquire a 51% stake in a partner's company focused on air conditioning and cooling solutions, including server farm projects. The deal is valued at approximately 8 million shekels (about $2.3 million), to be paid to the partner in installments and funded by Afcon's own resources.
The acquisition aims to expand Afcon's capabilities in air conditioning and cooling projects, particularly for server farms, which require sophisticated climate control systems. This move is expected to enhance the group's service offerings and market position.
As part of the agreement, certain air conditioning and cooling projects currently managed by the partner will be transferred to the acquired company. These projects are projected to generate approximately 55 million shekels (about $15 million) in revenue for the acquired entity over the next two years. The acquired company's subsidiary retains the right to return these projects, in whole or in part, to the partner within three months of the deal's completion.
Under the terms, the partner's CEO will assume the role of CEO for the acquired company post-completion. The agreement also includes standard provisions such as representations, management arrangements, financing, service agreements between Afcon and the partner, restrictions on share transfers, non-compete clauses, and a separation mechanism. Afcon was advised by attorney Yoni Schneidman, while the partner was represented by the law firm Dan Ginga & Co.
David Harel, CEO of Afcon Holdings Group, stated that the acquisition aligns with the company's strategic plan to strengthen its server farm capabilities. He emphasized that the deal adds professional expertise in air conditioning and cooling, a critical component for such projects, and deepens the integration of these services into their client offerings. Harel noted this is a continuation of an existing partnership and builds on the group's experience with complex projects.
