This is an exciting time for the new combined company, which is ideally positioned to be a software-based security and analytics powerhouse. By joining forces, we are able to offer our customers the best value proposition in security, starting with entertainment and mobile industries and moving towards markets, such as IoT and connected cars, while deploying Verimatrix data analytics capabilities across our end markets, and to continue to create value for our shareholders. I would like to once again thank our shareholders for their support in the financing of the acquisition.”

The combined company is led by an established leadership team that reflects the strengths and capabilities of both companies under the leadership of Amedeo D’Angelo, with the objective to support a smooth and efficient cultural and business integration and grow the business. Steve Oetegenn, who has served as president and chief sales and marketing officer of Verimatrix, was appointed chief operating officer for the combined company.
