Amplexor acquired 100% of Sajan. This transaction was structured as a merger that resulted in the target being delisted from the Nasdaq exchange. The acquisition was a strategic move to establish a solid foothold in the North American market, a region where the acquirer had previously sought expansion through joint ventures. The strategy focused on combining the target's proprietary translation management technology and American market presence with the acquirer's global scale and specialized industrial expertise. Despite the target's underwhelming financial performance in the year prior to the deal, the acquirer saw significant value in its technology platform and client portfolio.

SAJAN, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2016, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, a level around LOGIN higher than the 11.3x average currently observed in the Business Services sector.
