SHAREHOLDERS

Genasys was founded as a subsidiary of Genasys II Pty Ltd (Sydney, Australia) in 1994. In 1998 Genasys employees were associated with some investors to acquire the Company (MBO), founded Investment Fund Continental, S.L. (IFC) as holding. In 2004, IFC got together with Elderslie Finance Corporation (Sydney, Australia) to incorporate to Genasys  the company GenaWare International Pty Ltd, which possessed the copyright of the software GenaMap, financing properly the merger, while a new Business Plan was established.

At the beginning of 2007 Elderslie transferred its property in Genasys to Adara Venture Partners, S.à.r.l., and Genasys invited its executives and a selected group of private investors to invest in the company. In 2008, new investment from Venture Partners Adara, a group of private investors, plus the incorporation of Caixa Capital PYME Innovación SICAR (CCPI) has given Genasys the following shareholder distribution: IFC, 41%; Adara, 40%; CCPI, 10% and 9% private investors.
