Collexis Holdings, Inc. Acquires SyynX Solutions GmbH, Expands Application Portfolio

SyynX Solutions GmbHCollexis Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: CLXS) has acquired its long-time development partner, SyynX Solutions, a privately-held software company based in Cologne, Germany. SyynX Solutions will remain as a subsidiary of Collexis Holdings – with the amendment "a Collexis company", and will take care of existing customers and drive Collexis' business in Europe. The SyynX management team will be part of the Collexis Holdings management team.

The joint history of both companies:
SyynX and Collexis were founded at the same time in 1999 as offspring of an EU funded research project. SyynX started then to develop parts of the fingerprint technology for Collexis. In less than ten years Collexis has become the market leader of knowledge applications especially for the scientific context. In 2005 Collexis moved its global headquarters to Columbia, South Carolina and introduced the SyynX applications to the American market. Shares of Collexis common stock are traded under the symbol CLXS on the OTC Bulletin Board (OTC BB). The applications developed by SyynX are based on the patented Collexis fingerprint technology, i.e. the Knowledge or Protein Dashboard, the search platform Mediator and the Social Networking platform for the Life Sciences with more than 1M of pre-populated expert profiles. The later was recently jointly developed with Collexis and will be launched at the beginning of 2008.

"After working together with the Collexis team for several years, the SyynX team is more than excited about bringing the two companies together," says Christian Herzog, MD, CEO of SyynX Solutions. "The Collexis Fingerprint core technology, combined with the applications built by SyynX, will provide a great advantage to existing customers, as well as future ones."

Bill Kirkland, CEO of Collexis. "The SyynX software component is an ideal strategic complement to our existing capabilities as the market leader in high-definition search and discovery solutions. Our comprehensive offerings address a growing market trend, as scientists are increasingly recognizing the essential role that informatics, database and workflow solutions play in more effectively managing research programs and driving higher productivity. We believe that the acquisition of SyynX will position Collexis as a global leader in providing these solutions and our value proposition to clients will be stronger as a result."
