Avanquest Enters Into Exclusive Discussions with Encore Software for the Sale of its Home Design Business

  • 154

Regulatory News:

Claranova’s (Paris:CLA) subsidiary Avanquest has entered into exclusive discussions with the US company Encore Software with a view to selling its non-core Home Design business, including the assets of the Architect 3D software.

Encore Software, specializing in software development, sales and distribution, has been a technology partner of Avanquest for many years. Its product offering includes 3D Home Architect, which is similar to Avanquest's software. This acquisition covers all of Avanquest's "Home Design" business assets, and more specifically those related to the "Architect 3D" software (code, customer base, domain names, websites, graphic elements, etc.). Encore Software, which plans to continue operating the acquired businesses, could also integrate selected Avanquest's staff working in this area.

"We are very pleased that Encore Software has expressed an interest in our Home Design activities, and also by their plan for continuing to develop this segment. As a long-standing partner, Encore Software is a natural choice for ensuring the continuity of this business” commented Éric Gareau, CEO of Avanquest

"We believe that acquiring Avanquest's Home Design business represents a growth opportunity for our organization and will enable a smooth transition for Architect 3D customers - Syed Gilani, CEO of Encore Software

As previously announced1, this divestment of the non-core activities is part of the ongoing strategy adopted 4 years ago to transformed Avanquest into a SaaS B2C software publisher developing proprietary products and services in the PDF, Security and Photo segments.

The closing of this sale is expected to be completed by the end of July 2023, subject to the fulfillment of all conditions precedent.
