L-1 would benefit from Safran's technology, extended geographical reach, financial and management capabilities to further assist the company in accelerating the growth of its strong business in the United States and expansion in global key territories.

Following this transaction, Safran would continue to strengthen the combined R&D teams. In doing so, the companies expect to build the next generation of excellence in biometrics and ID management and enhance the combined group's competitiveness in all territories, for the benefit of customers.

With this acquisition, Safran's pro forma 2011 revenues from its security business, focused on detection, biometrics and identity management is likely to exceed 15% of the Safran's global revenue.
