IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Resources Connection, Inc., (NASDAQ: RECN), a multinational business
consulting firm operating as Resources Global Professionals (‘RGP'),
today announced the completion of its previously announced acquisition
of substantially all of the assets and assumption of certain liabilities
of Accretive Solutions, Inc. (‘Accretive'). Accretive is a
professional services firm that provides consulting, staffing and
outsourcing solutions to a wide variety of organizations in the U.S.,
and supports startups through its Countsy suite of back office services.
The transaction was completed in accordance with the terms of the
agreement announced on November 1, 2017.
"We are very pleased to have completed our acquisition of Accretive, and
believe that this transaction is in line with our growth strategy and
goals," said Kate Duchene, President and CEO of RGP. "We are confident
that Accretive's complementary capabilities will strengthen RGP's core
competencies and we expect it will enable us to capitalize on growth
opportunities in key U.S. geographies, capture additional market share
in the middle market, and expand our offerings to startups. Today's
closing marks the start of an exciting new chapter for RGP and
Accretive, and we look forward to the significant value this transaction
can create for both our clients and shareholders."
As previously announced, RGP plans to transition Accretive's business
into the RGP brand over the next 6-9 months, with the exception of
Countsy, which will continue to operate as a standalone business.
RGP continues to expect the transaction to increase RGP's revenue by
approximately $65-70 million and EBITDA by $6.5-7.5 million after 9-12
months.
