Tech company Advantage (NZSE: ADV) says a business it acquired last year has agreed to take shares instead of cash as a final payment.

In May 2000 -after the tech wreck but when tech valuations were still relatively high - Advantage bought e-procurement company Campbell Pope and Associates for $4.3 million in cash and shares.

Advantage says the acquired company has now agreed to take shares in place of the $750,000 final cash payment.

The shares will be issued at market prices and can be called upon between now and the end of September.

The deal means Campbell Pope will certainly be getting a lot more shares for their dollar than at the time of the sale, when Advantage stock was trading around $3.00 per share compared to the current price of 60 cents.
