Hybrid Software Group acquires ColorLogic GmbH

Cambridge (UK), 28 October 2021 (17:45 CEST): Hybrid Software Group PLC (Euronext: HYSG) (the “Company”) announces today that on 27 October 2021 it acquired the entire issued share capital of ColorLogic GmbH (“ColorLogic”), a company with its registered office in Rheine, Germany.

ColorLogic was founded in 2002 and has developed an extensive portfolio of color profiling and conversion software, recently winning the 2021 Pinnacle Product Award from the PRINTING United. Its products are sold worldwide to both end users with demanding requirements for color quality, as well as to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) of printing equipment.

Hybrid Software Group CEO Mike Rottenborn comments, “Our Harlequin RIP is the market leader in speed and quality for digital printing and is used by many industry-leading OEMs. But its color management has historically been built around the 4-color CMYK process. As the production of labels and packaging shifts to digital printing, more capable 7-color printing devices are required to provide color-accurate matching of brand colors. ColorLogic has long been respected as an industry leader in extended gamut color management, and their tools provide the perfect combination of speed and quality for these demanding applications. ColorLogic will become the fifth operating company in Hybrid Software Group, joining Global Graphics Software, HYBRID Software, Meteor Inkjet, and Xitron, and its products and technology will enhance the offerings of all of these companies.”

Barbara Braun-Metz, ColorLogic’s Founder and CEO, adds, “I founded ColorLogic almost 20 years ago and together with the help of my great team we are proud to say that we are the leading developers of high-end color management technologies. We have great products which are used for the daily print production all around the world and numerous partners using our technology to develop outstanding products on top of it. Now we are ready for the next big step – to ensure the future development of our technology and our products we decided to join forces with Hybrid Software Group PLC. This will allow us to grow and allocate the resources needed for future requirements while continuing to provide uninterrupted support for our existing customers and partners.”

Hybrid Software Group celebrates name change with the Euronext bell ceremony

Cambridge UK, 20 October 2021: Hybrid Software Group PLC (Euronext: HYSG) celebrates its change of name and corporate identity today by ringing the bell to open trading at the Euronext Stock Exchange in Brussels.

Hybrid Software Group PLC changed its name from Global Graphics PLC following shareholder approval on 13 October 2021. The new name underlines the Group’s position as a software company providing innovative technology for industrial print manufacturing processes at a time when industry is accelerating towards mass customization, smart factories, and Industry 4.0. The Group’s solutions are hybrid because they meet the needs of analogue and digital production processes and because they integrate both software and printhead drive electronics.

The Group’s new strapline “enterprise software for industrial print manufacturing” represents all the solutions available from Hybrid Software Group’s global operating companies: Global Graphics Software, HYBRID Software, Meteor Inkjet and Xitron. The individual branding of these operating companies is unchanged.

Speaking at the Bell ceremony Chairman Guido Van der Schueren said, “For many years, the success of HYBRID Software has been built on a simple formula: our future depends on advanced automation as embodied by Industry 4.0, multiplied by extreme customer care. We partner with our customers for the long term and act upon their input. I believe these concepts equally apply to the broader Hybrid Software Group and look forward to continuing to expanding our support for all areas of industrial print manufacturing.”

CEO Mike Rottenborn added, “Our customers have long viewed Global Graphics as a collection of great companies: Global Graphics Software, HYBRID Software, Meteor Inkjet, and Xitron. But as an integrated group, we offer technology and products that go beyond what’s available from any individual company. It’s important that we communicate the proper brand message at the group level to our customers and investors. Rebranding as Hybrid Software Group brings this group strategy into focus and lays the foundations for continued growth of the company.”

Hybrid Software Group is the only full stack supplier of all critical core technologies for inkjet. Its solutions enable OEMs to be nimble in their response to develop new digital printing equipment for emerging applications and enable print service providers to benefit from the added value of digital production.

Earlier this year the four companies launched their first joint product, the SmartDFE, (digital front end) that is designed to be the heart of a fully automated manufacturing system for labels and packaging, one of the Group’s strategic growth targets.

Global Graphics: Result of the General Meeting and change of name

GLOBAL GRAPHICS: RESULT OF THE GENERAL MEETING AND CHANGE OF NAME

Cambridge (UK) 13 October 2021: Global Graphics PLC (Euronext: GLOG) announces the result of its General Meeting that was held today (the “Meeting”).

Further to the Company’s announcement on 28 September 2021 regarding the proposed change of the Company’s name, the Company is pleased to announce that at the Meeting held earlier today, the special resolution proposed at the Meeting was unanimously passed without amendment. The change of name has been accepted by the Registrar of Companies for England and Wales.

The result of the voting is as follows:

	For	Against	Withheld	Total	Result
Number of votes	27,060,051	0	0	27,060,051	100.00%	Pass

The Company remains a UK company with its shares listed on Euronext Brussels. It is expected that Euronext will make the change of name effective from the start of trading on 20 October 2021 and that the Company’s stock symbol will be changed from GLOG to HYSG. There will be no other changes to the listed shares.

Chairman Guido Van der Schueren comments, “I have felt for some time that the name ‘Global Graphics’ no longer described the group’s mission, especially to the investor community. With the acquisition of HYBRID Software earlier this year it was clear that we needed a name which reflects the real nature of our business: enterprise software combined with printhead electronics for digital printing applications. I’m very pleased with the strong support we have received for this rebranding.”

CEO Mike Rottenborn adds, “The four operating companies in the group – Global Graphics Software, HYBRID Software, Meteor Inkjet and Xitron – operate under their own individual brands which are well established in the market, but it’s important that investors and customers see them as part of a larger group with a complete solution for industrial inkjet manufacturing. Rebranding the Company as Hybrid Software Group is an important step in the positioning of our company, and I look forward to promoting the new brand.”

2021-10-13 gm result press release FINAL

Global Graphics PLC: General meeting of shareholders and proposed change of name

Cambridge (UK), 28 September 2021: Global Graphics PLC (Euronext: GLOG) has today issued a Notice of General Meeting to its registered shareholders for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, passing a special resolution to change the name of the Company.

The Company’s Board of Directors is proposing to change the Company’s name to Hybrid Software Group PLC. They consider that this is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders.

Although the Company is comprised of four separate operating companies, each with its own brand identity and market positioning, the Company’s branding is used to communicate the overall mission and focus of the Group externally to current and potential customers, shareholders and other stakeholders. The Board is of the opinion that the current name does not clearly reflect the Group’s current mission and focus, for several reasons, including:

The composition of the Group and its products and services have changed. Global Graphics PLC was established by a series of acquisitions of pre-press hardware manufacturers, none of which remain part of the Group today.
The industries served by the Group have changed significantly. Graphics, or even printing, is not broad enough to describe our primary market of industrial inkjet manufacturing and the products and services that we sell.
The majority of the Group’s revenue and earnings are derived from the sales of software and related products and services. This is not reflected in the current name of the Company.

After much consideration, the Board has decided that Hybrid Software Group PLC provides a more accurate description of the Group’s mission. The acquisition of HYBRID Software in early 2021 has been a rapid success, with the new business contributing roughly half of the H1 2021 revenues and EBITDA of the total group. With more than one thousand end-user customers already using the products of HYBRID Software in the label & packaging segment, it is logical to leverage some of the brand equity and name recognition of HYBRID Software for the combined Group when operating in this segment.

No operational or structural changes to the Company are planned as a result of this re-branding exercise. The Company will remain a Public Limited Company based in Cambridge, UK, and will continue to be listed on Euronext Brussels. We anticipate that the new stock symbol will be HYSG, pending approval by Euronext.

Furthermore, each of the Group’s operating companies – Global Graphics Software, HYBRID Software, Meteor Inkjet, and Xitron – will continue operating under their own brands as before, with no changes planned to their branding.

The resolution to change the name is a special resolution, which requires at least 75% of the shareholders voting at the meeting to vote in favour of the resolution.

All proxy voting will be conducted electronically via the Company’s share registrar, Link Group. Details of which have been provided to registered shareholders. For shares held in nominee accounts please contact the nominee account provider to establish their process for submitting proxy votes.

Registered shareholders are invited to join the meeting by video conference and must register by 15:00 (CEST) on 12 October 2021. To register for the meeting please email your request to investor-relations@globalgraphics.com.

More information and full details about the meeting and voting can be found in the Notice of General Meeting on the Company’s website at https://investor.globalgraphics.com

Shareholders are also invited to attend a Q&A session with Mike Rottenborn and Graeme Huttley via a video conference call on Friday 1 October 2021, at 15:00 CEST. To register for this conference call, please email investor-relations@globalgraphics.com by 14:30 CEST on Friday 1 October 2021. Details of how to join the meeting will then be provided by email.

Global Graphics Software honored with 2021 Pinnacle Intertech Award

The Company is recognized for the third time in four years

Cambridge UK and Sarasota FL, September 27, 2021: Global Graphics Software, the developer of the Harlequin RIP®, has been awarded a 2021 Pinnacle InterTech Award from PRINTING United Alliance, for Direct™, the software that drives data directly to inkjet printhead electronics giving unprecedented speed and image quality. It is the company’s third InterTech award in four years.

The Pinnacle InterTech Awards from PRINTING United Alliance honor the development of innovative technologies judged to be truly innovative and expected to have a significant impact on graphic communications and related industries.

The judging panel said they expect Direct to be widely adopted and to accelerate the use of inkjet for high volume personalized communications and packaging.

Justin Bailey, managing director of Global Graphics Software, says: “Printing full color, fully variable data on the new generation of faster, wider and high-resolution digital presses requires data to be sent to the printheads at blistering speeds. Many manufacturers are hitting what we call the data rate barrier. Direct removes that barrier and builds in the flexibility needed to future-proof print production because the capability of a press is not limited as data rates increase and the press does need to be reengineered to meet future requirements.

“We are delighted that manufacturers, among them Miyakoshi and FUJIFILM Integrated Inkjet Solutions, put their trust in us to overcome this challenge. We’re also extremely proud of our achievement: the fact that we’ve been awarded this honor shows once again that we are at the forefront of innovation and developing technology that is relevant in today’s market where the shift to the mass customization of products is accelerating.”

Direct is a new graphics pipeline that sends data directly to the printhead electronics instead of writing to disk and so reduces image processing times significantly, handles large volumes of data with ease, and accelerates the time to print.

Brian McInerney, senior program manager at FUJIFILM Integrated Inkjet Solutions comments: “We challenged Global Graphics Software to RIP variable data pages destined to be printed on our single-pass inkjet solutions, such as the FUJIFILM 42K Printbar System at speeds up to 1,000 feet per minute and at 1200 dpi. We are happy to share that Global Graphics not only achieved the required data rate using its Direct technology but has since increased its performance to meet our next level specifications. This is a direct benefit to our customers that look to Fujifilm for their single-pass printing solutions without having to create pre-RIPped ready to print files; rather with this solution variable data can be sent directly to our system where RIPping and page screening are done on the fly.”

“The judges recognized the significance of a technology that streamlines image and data processing for high-speed digital presses by bypassing hard-disks and going directly to the printheads, especially as data volumes increase dramatically and will continue to do so,” said Bill Pope, Vice President of Technical Services, PRINTING United Alliance.

Global Graphics Software was awarded an InterTech Award in 2018 for ScreenPro™ the fastest screening engine, and in 2019 for PrintFlat™ that rectifies artifacts in inkjet output. In 2020 the company was honored to be granted a Queen’s Award for Innovation for ScreenPro.

The Global Graphics Group of companies, which includes HYBRID Software, Xitron and Meteor Inkjet has been honored with five InterTech awards in the last five years.
