On2 has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Google. The transaction is valued at approximately $106.5m. The transaction, which is subject to On2 stockholder approval, regulatory clearances and other closing conditions, is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2009.
Matt Frost, chief operating officer and interim chief executive officer of On2 Technologies, said: While we have felt some impact of the global economic recession, the continual growth of video on the Internet coupled with the growing need for content providers to reduce bandwidth and improve quality continues to drive our business forward.
“We were encouraged to see a strong performance from our On2 Finland operation, particularly after it underwent significant cost-reducing measures earlier in the year. We believe, however, that encouraging longer term trends are being established through a combination of revenue growth and effective cost management.
