Bercman and Krakul’s parent company (Krakul Holding OÜ) concluded a conditional swap for a share of Krakul and shares of Bercman Technologies so that Bercman would acquire 100% shares of Krakul. The acquisition shall be paid for by Bercman shares.
The transaction involved a conditional share swap. Bercman will acquire all shares in Krakul, to be paid for with Bercman shares. According to Ellex, "the transaction shall be completed if Bercman’s extraordinary general meeting approves the conclusion of the transactions and permits an increase of share capital and the issuance of new shares to pay for the acquisition. Bercman’s extraordinary general meeting will take place on December 1, 2021."

Unifying the two teams allows us to develop new products and services, expand into export markets, and win new customers."
