According to Digital Barriers, the company has conditionally agreed to acquire the entire issued share capital of Brimtek, Inc., a provider of state-of-the-art technical surveillance solutions to the US defence, homeland security, federal law enforcement and intelligence communities, for a maximum aggregate consideration of up to $45 million (£29.6 million).

Of the total consideration payable under the terms of the Acquisition, $25 million (£16.4 million) is payable in cash upon Completion and the remaining up to $20 million (£13.2 million) is payable in cash (or a mixture of cash and new Ordinary Shares at the discretion of the Company) subject to Brimtek achieving certain performance targets during the period up to 31 December 2017.

Digital Barriers has identified Brimtek as an attractive target for the Group, given its breadth of offerings to the US defence, national security and law enforcement communities which present significant sales synergies with Digital Barriers in the US market.
