Sale of VectorVMS to PIXID Group for $50 million
Learning Technologies Group plc, a global market leader in learning and talent
technologies and services, today announces that it has entered into a
definitive agreement to sell its VectorVMS business ("Vector") to PIXID Group,
one of the largest vendor management platforms in Europe, majority owned by
Keensight Capital, for a cash consideration of $50 million on a cash and debt
free basis (subject to customary adjustments).
VectorVMS is a leading vendor management platform for contingent labour with
operations predominantly in North America and also in the UK. By way of
background, VectorVMS was acquired as part of the $150 million PeopleFluent
acquisition in 2018 and was subsequently separated into an independent
business and brand later that year. For the full year ended 31 December 2023,
Vector generated revenue and Adjusted EBIT of $11.4m and $7.1 million
respectively.
The sale of Vector is part of LTG's announced strategy to actively manage the
portfolio, sharpening our focus on learning and talent development. The sale
of Vector follows the completed disposals of Lorien Engineering Solutions and
TTI in 2023.
The Board of Directors will consider the use of proceeds from the Vector
divestiture and provide an update to the market in due course. The transaction
is expected to close in July 2024.
