ACTO CAPITAL (Groupama Private Equity) and Frederic Marchal are Considering Entering Into Partnership to aid the Development of Inventoriste.

Maurepas, France (ots/PRNewswire) - Berberine EURL (held by
Mr. Frederic Marchal), Amiral Gestion, B&G SARL, Financier John
Beslay and Mr. Jean-Sebastien Beslay, current reference shareholders
(hereafter referred to as "Reference Shareholders")in Inventoriste
with 87.17% of shares and voting rights, granted, on May 9 2009, an
exclusive contract to Acto Capital with a view to transferring their
shares by no later than July 31 2009 to a holding company which will
be held by Mr. Frederic Marchal and Acto Capital.

The holding company, which will have the task of acquiring
Inventoriste shares transferred by the Reference Shareholders at a
price of 24 Euros per share (cum-dividend), will have, following
this acquisition, a participation of 87.17% of shares and voting
rights in Inventoriste. This holding company will be controlled by
Mr. Frederic Marchal, who will also continue in his role as Chief
Executive Officer of Inventoriste.

The envisaged transaction values 100% of Inventoriste shares at
31.5 million Euros. The price of 24 Euros per share (cum-dividend)
represents a bonus of 19.11% compared to the last closing market
rate on May 8 2009, and a bonus of 24.47% and 23.07% compared to the
last 3 and 6 months respectively.

This partnership with Acto Capital (Groupama Private Equity,
subsidiary of Groupama, largest mutual insurance company in France)
fits into a framework of business continuity and development for
Inventoriste.

The information and consultation procedures of the relevant
personnel representative authorities within Inventoriste will be
implemented pursuant to applicable regulations.

The acquisition of shares as held by the Reference Shareholders
of Inventoriste will be subject to obtaining the funding from banks
necessary for the acquisition of all Inventoriste shares in addition
to fulfilling the normal conditions, particularly with regard to
auditing.

Subsequent to the acquisition of shares as transferred by the
Reference Shareholders in Inventoriste, a stock price guarantee
programme relating to the balance of Inventoriste shares will be
proposed to the Financial Markets Authority at a price of 24 Euros
per share (cum-dividend), by enforcing the stock market rules in
force.

If, following the stock price guarantee, the holding company were
to hold in excess of 95% of voting rights in Inventoriste, it would
implement a takeover offer at the same price of 24 Euros per share
(cum-dividend) and ask for the striking off of Inventoriste shares
from the Alternext Paris list.

An independent expert will be appointed by the Inventoriste Board
of Directors in order to value the financial conditions of the
aforementioned offers.

All information relating to these operations will be made public,
pursuant to applicable regulations.
