Since Francotyp-Postalia already acquired a 51% stake in Mentana-Claimsoft on 3 March 2011, the company will hold 75.5% of the shares. The acquisition had no impact on liquidity and was part of a mutual agreement after it emerged that there may have been a warranty violation on the part of the seller with regard to the purchase agreement of 3 March 2011. Francotyp-Postalia is thus continuing the strategic expansion of the fully electronic mail communications segment and strengthening its influence on the future development of this promising business segment for the FP Group.
