Qurius and Prodware Take the Next Step

PARIS and ZALTBOMMEL, The Netherlands, July 11, 2011 -

Qurius and Prodware announce the establishment of a strategic
alliance.  After building up a track record of common
business achievements over the past 5 months Prodware and Qurius
are now taking the next step towards the creation of an EMEA
champion in business solutions and applications. This alliance will
be driven by the management of the two groups and follows the
announcement made on February 8th when the companies entered into
exclusive discussions. The key objective of this alliance is to
create significant synergies.

In this next step, the alliance will be substantiated by the
following:

• Qurius and Prodware have agreed that it is important to provide
  Qurius’ management team with a strong industrially focused
  stakeholder that can help reinforce the company. In this context
  Parcom Capital of the Netherlands, currently the largest
  shareholder of Qurius, supports this strategic move and is willing
  to facilitate it through an exchange of shares in which Parcom will
  sell a part of their interest in Qurius to Prodware in exchange for
  an interest in Prodware. To establish this, Prodware will issue new
  shares and sell these to Parcom after which Parcom will be holding
  a stake of 6% in Prodware. As a result of this transaction Prodware
  will become the largest shareholder in Qurius with a stake of
  17,1%, instead of 9% before. After the transaction Parcom will be
  holding 7,2% of Qurius shares.

• The Supervisory Board of Qurius invites Mr. Philippe Bouaziz,
  chairman of the Board of Prodware, to assume the role of advisor to
  the Qurius Supervisory Board with immediate effect and plans to
  nominate, at the next shareholders meeting, Mr. Bouaziz for a full
  membership of the Qurius Supervisory Board.

• With immediate effect Mr. Leen Zevenbergen, CEO of Qurius, will
  become a member of the executive strategic committee of Prodware
  where he joins, amongst others, Mr. Alain Conrard, CEO of
  Prodware.

Both groups own and distribute powerful industry focused
business solutions that have a strong growth potential. Based on
the best and latest technologies, These solutions are
comprehensive, much more simple and cost effective to deploy and
implement. Compared to standard market solution that need a lot
specific customization. Such an IP (Intellectual Property) focused
business model is considered to be of growing importance for the
future competitive position of the two companies. Qurius and
Prodware will thus invest in further development of IP and will
join forces to accelerate the potential revenue and margins
generated by such products and solutions. The two companies have
specifically:

• Signed an agreement to jointly and cross distribute respective
  IP and together develop new solutions for key high potential
  markets. In the course of this year they plan to create a joint
  venture for the distribution of such IP through the Microsoft
  partner channel.

• Planned to sign a teaming agreement to provide both local and
  international customers and partners with the full range of
  resources and expertise that both companies have at their disposal.
  This will include all entities of both companies and not just the
  respective near-shore operations that Qurius and Prodware are
  currently already sharing.

Mr. Leen Zevenbergen, CEO of Qurius, confirms that: “The
substantiation of this commitment gives both companies a much
better position towards our business partners and especially to the
Microsoft Business Solution ecosystem that will now clearly
identify the Prodware & Qurius strategic alliance as one
partner.”

Mr. Alain Conrard, CEO of Prodware, comments, “We are proud to
see that the asset management subsidiary of ING, Parcom Capital,
validates our strategic vision of building a European champion. We
are working hard with Leen and our teams to, step by step and with
the right timing, build this champion and thus maximize value for
our stakeholders. The synergies and energy between our respective
“countries” is already high and generating a lot of value. This
step will allow us to accelerate further.”
