| About Actimagine |
Established in March 2003 by a team of highly qualified engineers and experienced managers, Actimagine develops and sells under license Mobiclip™, a patented software video codec optimised for mobile platforms. Developed with a completely different algorithm from those used for other video codecs on the market, Mobiclip makes more efficient use of the CPU power, allowing the display of high quality video on any electronic devices, from QVGA to HD resolution.
Actimagine started out with Nintendo. The video compression technology offered by Actimagine was an optimised response to the battery life and video quality requirements of Nintendo mobile video gaming platforms: Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Advance SP and Nintendo DS. Today, almost every game released by Nintendo contains video sequences played in Mobiclip format.
Perfectly adapted to the key video on mobile phone challenges – high quality video and low battery consumption, Mobiclip has been selected by major studios, such as Sony Pictures Digital, Paramount, Fox and Gaumont Colombia Tristar Films, and by leading handset manufacturers, such as Nokia or Sony Ericsson, to deliver blockbusters on memory cards for mobile phones.
Actimagine’s ambition is to make Mobiclip the de-facto standard for DVD-like quality video on mobile phones and to see its technology rolled out on all mobile phones.
In April 2006, Actimagine raised €3 million in equity financing from US venture capital firm GRP Partners. This first round of institutional fund raising enabled Actimagine to accelerate its business development in the USA and Japan.
Actimagine Corp. is registered in Delaware in the United States. The head office is in its French subsidiary in Paris. The company also has a subsidiary in Tokyo and offices in Singapore and San Diego, California in the United States.

| A Vision |
 |
Actimagine intends to deliver the most exciting video experience ever on a broad range of devices, from low end mobile phones to high definition platforms.
“Mobile video becomes a market reality. We believe that improving the user experience is a key driver to establish successful recurring business models for mobile carriers, handset manufacturers as well as content publishers. On mobile platform, user experience is about valuable contents, higher quality, simpler usage and long battery lifetime. We leverage on our expertise in video on mobile gaming consoles and toys to provide a state-of-the-art video codec for mobile phones. Our ambition is to become the leading video technology.”
“In the next 12 months, we will see mobile phones fulfil their potential as ‘video iPods’ and become the ‘third medium’ of entertainment after TV and cinema. For this to happen and for the market to reach its tipping point, manufacturers must ensure they select the right technologies to make the experience for users as positive as it was always intended to be. That is, users can go anywhere and still have access to all the information and content they want. That’s our ambition!”
