SIA Integrates Sinsys

The Shareholders’ Meetings of SIA and of SiNSYS have approved the transnational merger through incorporation of Belgian subsidiary SiNSYS into SIA, thereby completing the process of integration of the two companies, aimed at further consolidating the Group’s international coverage and achieving greater operational efficiency with consequent economic advantages. The operation, effective from the beginning of 2013, does not entail any modification to the composition of the Board of Directors of SIA and provides for the cancellation without exchange of all the shares representing the entire corporate stock of SiNSYS, since SIA already possessed 100% of the stock following the acquisition from Atos Worldline of 49% in July 2012. The activities of SiNSYS, specializing in the management of payment transactions with international debit and credit cards with over 1 billion operations annually, around 30 million cards and 700,000 merchants in 12 European countries, will therefore be continued by SIA.
