The group said up to $C7.5 million of the purchase price is contingent on revenue retention measured at the first year anniversary of transaction close.

The transaction is said to be immediately management earnings per share (EPS) accretive and is expected to close in December 2013.

Computershare said it expects to achieve synergies consistent with those achieved with previous transactions of a similar nature.
