Groedig/Salzburg January 6, 2009 - SKIDATA AG, a subsidiary of the Swiss Kudelski Group and leading provider of access control solutions, has acquired a stake of 25% in RTP, LLC (Resort Technology Partners), a leading provider of integrated point-of-sale software and internet solutions to the resort, recreation and attractions industries.

The acquisition of the stake in RTP will further extend the already existing cooperation with RTP and will be key to SKIDATA's expansion in the North American ski and leisure market, highlights Charles Egli, CEO of SKIDATA. In addition, RTPs solutions fit perfectly to SKIDATAs product and solution portfolio.

To strengthen SKIDATAs market position in Europe, SKIDATA has acquired 100% of Orcus. Headquartered in Brussels, Orcus offers access control solutions for the parking industry.

Both acquisitions represent a total amount of USD 3 million.
