Virtusa to acquire data security solutions provider

Virtusa Corp. has entered into an equity purchase agreement to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Fremont, Calif.-based eTouch Systems Corp. and India-based eTouch Systems Pvt. Ltd.

Virtusa completed the acquisition of California-based eTouch Systems on March 12 and expects to complete the acquisition of the India-based company in the next several days.

Virtusa has agreed to acquire the companies for about $140.0 million in cash, with up to an additional $15.0 million set aside for retention bonuses to be paid to eTouch management in equal installments on the first and second anniversary of the transaction.

Virtusa will use $70.0 million of a delayed draw term-loan from its existing credit facility and $10.0 million of cash on hand to make the payments due at closing.

Virtusa's management expects the companies to contribute revenue of approximately $5.0 million and to be about 4 cents dilutive to Virtusa's earnings on a GAAP basis. The acquisition is expected to be dilutive to GAAP EPS and accretive to non-GAAP EPS for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019.

ETouch provides digital engineering, digital marketing, cloud, analytics and data security solutions to technology companies.
