has entered into a Business Purchase Agreement to acquire a strategic business unit from Concise Systems OÜ (Estonia) for a total consideration of €5.6 million, executed via its step-down subsidiary PerSys Estonia OÜ on May 28, 2026. Key Transaction Details: Target Concise Systems OÜ (IT services/ITeS unit) Acquirer PerSys Estonia OÜ (Persistent step-down subsidiary) Consideration €5.6 Mn (incl. €1.5 Mn deferred over 2 years) Revenue Profile ~€11.6 Mn annualized Completion Expected within 4–8 weeks, subject to customary conditions Governance Arm's-length; no promoter interest; no regulatory approvals required Strategic Rationale: Customer Consolidation: Converts an existing sub-contracting arrangement into a direct delivery relationship with a strategic enterprise client, strengthening retention and margin control. Nearshore Expansion: Establishes a dedicated delivery footprint in Eastern Europe, complementing Persistent's global model (India, US, APAC) with time-zone proximity for European clients. Risk Mitigation: Direct ownership of talent and assets de-risks long-term service obligations and enhances operational agility. Outlook: The acquisition, while modest in scale, reinforces Persistent's strategy of targeted, customer-led inorganic growth. Successful integration of the €11.6 Mn revenue stream and retained talent could serve as a blueprint for similar nearshore bolt-on acquisitions in Europe.
