Subject: Acquisition announcement
Dear customers, partners, and friends of Vigour,
Today I am excited to announce that we will be joining forces with 24i Media, and have entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired. The past years have been an incredible journey for Vigour, full of challenges, highlights and many great memories along the way.
We started our company back in 2012 with the simple idea that apps should provide a more seamless experience across the different devices that make up our fragmented digital universe, and ended up building a unique platform for the creation of multiscreen content experiences. Our core focus however, has always been the creation of immersive experiences for end users, and to make an impact on the way people interact with media on a daily basis.
To maximize your impact, you often have to join forces. In a market that grows, consolidates and changes at unprecedented speed, we have long known that the best way to provide customers with premium experiences comes from the formation of strong partnerships. 24i Media is a leading company that offers a powerful and complete platform with many similarities to our own, and that has developed many features and products over the years that we have looked at in admiration. The expertise and technology of Vigour will enable the combined company to deliver multiscreen applications that are unmatched by our international competition. Together, we want to embark on a mission to build a company that will power the most valuable and widely used media applications in the world.
Going forward, I want to assure you that within 24i, we will still operate as the company you have grown to love. Our mission remains unchanged. We will simply have more resources, reach and capabilities to continue building products that delight our customers!
We are looking forward to sharing this new adventure with all of you, and hope to to meet again soon at one of our new offices in Amsterdam, Los Angeles, Brno or Madrid, or at NAB, where we will be exhibiting this year as part of the 24i family!
Best,
Ramon Duivenvoorden
CEO Vigour
