Softwarehaus Baan wird an britische
Invensys verkauft
HANDELSBLATT, Mittwoch, 31. Mai 2000
Reuters LONDON. Das angeschlagene niederländische
Geschäftssoftware-Haus Baan soll an die britische Ingenieurfirma Invensys
verkauft werden. Die Invensys Plc teilte am Mittwoch in London mit, sie
wolle Baan zum Kaufpreis von 2,85 Euro je Aktie in bar übernehmen und
plane eine harte Restrukturierung bei dem Unternehmen. Dafür sollten in
den kommenden 18 Monaten 400 Mill. $ aufgewendet werden.
Die Baan-Aktien waren am Dienstag mit 2,62 Euro 1,13 % leichter als am
Montag aus dem Handel an der Börse in Amsterdam gegangen. Gemessen
am Kaufpreis wird Baan mit rund 690 Mill. Euro bewertet. Durch eine
solche Übernahme hätte auch die Talfahrt der Baan-Aktie ein Ende. Einst
war das Unternehmen die Nummer zwei der Software-Branche in Europa
hinter der deutschen SAP AG. Vor knapp zwei Jahren waren die
Baan-Papiere noch für etwa 50 Euro gehandelt worden. Zu Jahresbeginn
wechselten die Papiere noch für knapp 15 Euro den Besitzer. Vor wenigen
Tagen waren sie im Zuge der anhaltenden Finanzkrise des Konzerns auf ein
Allzeit-Tief auf 1,15 Euro gefallen.
Das niederländische Softwarehaus hat in den vergangenen sieben Quartalen
jeweils Verluste erwirtschaftet. Für das Gesamtjahr 1999 hatte Baan einen
Verlust von 289 Mill. $ ausgewiesen. Der Konzern bietet Software für
Ingenieursfirmen und den Bereich Produktion an. Die Ingenieursfirma
Invensys könnte nach Einschätzung von Analysten durch ein
entsprechendes Softwareangebot für seine Kunden attraktiver werden.
"Baan wäre in der Lage, Software näher an die Zentralen der Unternehmen
heranzubringen, wozu Invensys in der Vergangenheit nicht in der Lage
gewesen ist", hieß es.
