Backing From New Financial Partner Will Drive Company into New Era of Growth and Industry Leadership in Broadcast, OTT, and Multi-Platform Video Delivery
RENNES, France - Sept. 25, 2014 - Thomson Video Networks, a portfolio company of the Fonds de Consolidation & D veloppement des Entreprises (FCDE), today announced that FCDE has entered into exclusive negotiations with Edmond de Rothschild Investment Partners (EdRIP) to take an equity stake in Thomson Video Networks, in partnership with the company's management.

We want to thank FCDE for its outstanding partnership, which has enabled us to create a strong foundation and track record for steady and continued growth as an independent enterprise, said Christophe Delahousse, president, Thomson Video Networks. The proposed investment by EdRIP in partnership with the management team would mark a new milestone in our company's history.

With EdRIP as a shareholder, Thomson Video Networks would be even better positioned to empower its customers with every key capability they need for profitable and convergent multi-platform video delivery Behind Every Screen.
We are delighted to have worked successfully with Thomson Video Networks' management team to establish the company as an independent and globally recognized enterprise.

We are impressed by Thomson Video Networks' mature and experienced management and technical teams and its remarkable achievements and commitments to clients.
