Telvent Signs an Agreement to Acquire Almos Systems

June 20, 2005

Madrid, June 20, 2005 - Telvent GIT S.A. (Nasdaq: TLVT) , the Global RealTime IT Company, announced today that it has signed an agreement to acquire Almos Systems a Perth, Australia headquartered company and a market-leading supplier of meteorological solutions. Telvent has been collaborating with Almos Systems for 3 years and has a deep knowledge of its technical solutions and management team.

Telvent has been providing real-time IT meteorology solutions for more than 25 years, mainly in Spain and Latin America. With the addition of Almos Systems, Telvent gains access to a distinctive and complete suite of leading-edge meteorological systems and value-added solutions. In addition, the strategic location of Almos Systems headquarters in Perth, Australia, which will be renamed Telvent Australia, should be ideal for developing further business opportunities in the Asia-Pacific region, one of the highest growth areas in the world.

“This transaction fits well with our strategy of building our portfolio of fully integrated products and solutions in our core sectors. Almos Systems will add market leading solutions to the Telvent portfolio of meteorology solutions that we will be able to offer to our Environment sector clients and it will also open a new geography for the rest of our business. Telvent´s and Almos´ customers in this market sector will benefit from the technological, market and business synergies that we anticipate will result from this transaction.” said Manuel Sanchez, CEO and Chairman of Telvent.

Dr. Steve Rakoczy, Managing Director of Almos Systems, said “Having worked closely with Telvent over the last 3 years, I believe that this is an excellent strategic fit and will allow for a smooth integration of the operations into Telvent.”

For the year ending June 30, 2004, Almos Systems had total revenues of approximately € 8 Million. The purchase price for this acquisition is €4 million plus a payment for cash on hand and a deferred, contingent and variable “earn out” payment based on Almos Systems meeting certain income targets over a period ending June 30th, 2006.
