Attunity Announces Multi-Million Dollar Strategic OEM License Agreement with a Top Information Technology Company

BURLINGTON, Massachusetts, July 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Attunity Ltd. (NASDAQ CM: ATTU), a leading provider of data integration and Big Data management software solutions, announced today that it has entered into a multi-million-dollar OEM license agreement with a top information technology company who will incorporate Attunity technology to facilitate and drive database and data warehouse migrations.

"This agreement is a strategic milestone for Attunity. It solidifies our position as an industry leader for database and Cloud migration, and will be generating significant recurring revenues as well as upside opportunities, and strengthening our position as a strategic partner for this top information technology company," explained Shimon Alon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at Attunity. "During its initial three-year term, the agreement is expected to generate $9 million with options to exceed this amount through license, upsell and services expansions."

Under the agreement, the partner was granted with a license of Attunity Replicate to support several data migration scenarios. Following the initial term, the partner may extend the agreement for up to three additional years, or convert the annual license to perpetual for a one-time payment of $10 million (or higher if the agreement is expanded to include additional migration scenarios).

The agreement provides additional revenue opportunities in areas that the partner did not license under the agreement, in which case the partner's customers may engage Attunity directly for additional fees. In addition, the partner can expand the scope of the agreement to include more migration scenarios for incremental annual fees and receive additional services.

"Being selected by this partner is a testament to our leading technology and ability to partner with industry-leading companies. We expect that this license agreement will also provide us with additional revenue generation opportunities to support our growth over the next few years," concluded Mr. Alon.

Attunity is currently evaluating the accounting implications, including revenue recognition aspects, of the agreement. Cash consideration for the first year is due upon acceptance and then 60 days after each anniversary date thereof.
