Bruce Rowlands, Chairman and CEO stated, "After a productive and successful due diligence process thus far, we are very pleased with the terms that we have been able to negotiate with SICPA on behalf of Eurocontrol shareholders. The GFI brand becoming part of the SICPA global group of companies will allow GFI to flourish and we believe will result in more contracts, more quickly due to SICPA's breadth of contacts and market penetration. It is a classic case of better together than apart - the combination of the logistics of operating these fuel marking projects with the underlying technology provider will provide a complete integrated Petromark™ offering. Our royalty will be calculated on the combined business as compared to our current revenue which is based solely on the provision of the technology. Eurocontrol also looks forward to supporting the new SICPA/GFI operations through our subsidiary Xenemetrix which will remain the supplier of the ED-XRF analyzers used in the Petromark™ solution."

"The basis of this transaction is the good synergy between SICPA and GFI which both offer comprehensive solutions in their respective fields for the authentication and monitoring of key tax carrying goods and items. Both companies work exclusively with governmental authorities in different countries where SICPA already has sizeable operations and therefore where the introduction of GFI will be facilitated. Equally, both organizations are used to providing top of the range, latest technology-based solutions, pledging at the same time to provide un-contaminated and robust data to state institutions", stated Gilles Léraillé, Executive Vice President, Business Development of SICPA who added, "Another unique characteristic of this transaction is the ''partnership" type of agreement that is envisaged for a noticeable period of time, instead of the typical "seller-buyer" relationship. In this way, the two parties' teams can be harnessed to maximize the chances of success and the realization of a promising upside for both Eurocontrol and the SICPA group."
