Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously disclosed, on June 30, 2012, Syniverse Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an agreement to acquire all of the shares and preferred equity certificates (whether convertible or not) in WP Roaming III S.á.r l, a Luxembourg limited liability company (“MACH”), exclusive of Evenex ApS and its wholly-owned subsidiary Evenex AS (the “Proposed Transaction”), and notified the European Commission (the “Commission”) of such Proposed Transaction on November 16, 2012. The Commission announced on December 20, 2012 that it had opened an in-depth investigation into the Proposed Transaction under EU Regulation 139/2004.
On May 29, 2013, the Commission granted approval of the Proposed Transaction, conditioned upon the Company’s commitment to divest certain assets supporting MACH’s data clearing and near real-time roaming data exchange (“NRTRDE”) business in the European Economic Area, which includes European Union countries plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway (the “EEA”), including technology platforms, necessary employees, customer contracts and the MACH brand.
On June 4, 2013, the Company signed a definitive agreement (the “Agreement”) to sell substantially all of MACH’s data clearing and NRTRDE business within the EEA to Starhome, B.V., a Switzerland corporation, upon the completion of the Company’s acquisition of MACH. The sale of such portions of MACH’s business pursuant to the Agreement is contingent upon approval of Starhome as the buyer by the Commission and other applicable jurisdictions.
