Robert Pons, SeaChange’s Executive Chairman commented:

Even if SEAC is clearly in the early stages of its strategic plan, it’s safe to say that the SeaChange of today is a much larger and more competent organization, with a better future. SEAC has the resources to advance many core projects on their strategic horizon and further build on the powerful secular tailwinds in the multibillion-dollar video distribution industry with more than $22 million in cash on SEAC balance sheet today. SEAC anticipate that the effective implementation of their strategy will result in long-term stability and sustainability in the years ahead.
