Heidelberg, Germany, May 5, 2017 - SNP Schneider-Neureither & Partner AG (WKN: 720370, ISIN: DE0007203705) has increased its investment in Innoplexia GmbH and now holds 80% of the shares in the software and IT company from Heidelberg. Innoplexia specializes in developing software and IT solutions for competitor and market analysis. Its portfolio includes an intelligent software suite that evaluates search terms and search results via internet search engines and comparison portals.

"SNP got involved in Innoplexia GmbH back in April 2016 by purchasing 20% of its shares. By increasing its shareholding, SNP is securing access to intelligent software for collecting and evaluating market and corporate data. In return, Innoplexia is receiving the growth financing it needs to further develop its highly attractive software portfolio. The key objective is to further develop our transformation software and to generate automated recommended actions for our transformation projects using artificial intelligence and software algorithms," said Dr. Andreas Schneider-Neureither, CEO of SNP AG.

Innoplexia GmbH was founded in 2010. It currently has 24 employees and generated revenue of about EUR 1 million in the 2016 fiscal year. In the future, SNP and Innoplexia will further extend and grow their collaboration, particularly in the area of development and sales. Innoplexia can use the established distribution networks of the SNP Group and will secure the necessary access to additional international markets. The company founders and managing directors hold the remaining 20% of Innoplexia shares. A unilateral purchase option was additionally arranged for these shares.
