RCubed Acquisition

On 3 June 2019, K2F updated the market that it has completed the acquisition of RCubed, following the previously released announcement (7 May 2019) regarding a binding Heads of Agreement (HoA) signed for K2F’s subsidiary, K2fly RCubed Pty Ltd, to acquire South Africa-based Prodmark Pty Ltd and its related entities with respect to the RCubed Resources and Reserve Reporting software.

The consideration for the transaction involved an AU$ 450,000 of upfront payment as well as the preservation of key operational employees over the next three years with performance incentives. In addition, a South Africa-based company has been incorporated by K2F. The new entity will take on the existing staff of twelve and utilise the office facilities in Centurion within the Gauteng Province.

According to K2F, the highly complementary acquisition fits well with its Infoscope SaaS offering and strengthens its proprietary SaaS business vertical, which now includes:

Mineral Resource Governance – RCubed, a resource and reserve reporting solution that supports reporting codes such as NI43101, JORC and SAMREC across the major stock exchanges – including NYSE, TSX, ASX, LSE and JSE.

Natural Resource Governance - Infoscope, an Enterprise Land Management, Natural Resource Governance and Stakeholder Relations solution for the Energy and Resources market.

The combination of the two solutions is expected to support K2F in delivering its long-term strategy to provide its clients (mainly Resource Companies) a compelling, comprehensive solution to better fulfil their Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) responsibilities, and develop sustainability reports that underpin their social license to operate.

Imerys SA Contract
