OREANDA-NEWS. June 28, 2018. CSPi (NASDAQ:CSPI), a provider of IT managed services, security solutions and packet capture products, today announced it has agreed to sell its Germany operations (CSPi GmbH, Technology Solutions) to European IT service provider and media conglomerate Reply (MTA, STAR: REY) for €10.0 million in cash, which is approximately $11.6 million at current exchange rates. Reply will acquire all of the outstanding stock of CSPi’s German subsidiary, which includes all of the assets and liabilities, including the pension obligation.

CSPi will continue to operate its United Kingdom location to serve certain multinational clients.

“The divestiture of CSPi’s Germany operations and our increased cash position will enable us to focus time and resources on our higher-margin and greater-potential growth opportunities,” said Chief Executive Officer Victor Dellovo. “We are encouraged by the traction of our managed services business in the U.S. and will continue to invest and focus on our new ARIA™ Software Defined Security cybersecurity products and to capitalize on the proliferation of our wireless service business.
