NATIVE INSTRUMENTS I REORGANIZATION
Native
Becomes
Self-owned
Native Instruments recently completed a major
share reorganization that makes the company
entirely self-owned. The reorganization
was facilitated by CEO and founding shareholder
Daniel Haver. It includes a general shareholder
consolidation and the reacquisition of close to
30 percent of Native Instruments’ shares from
a long-standing venture capital investor.
The consolidation affects complete ownership
of the company by its original founders
and its executive management team and makes
it independent from external investors.
“While this reorganization may sound like an
abstract, behind-the-scenes process, the implications
for our users and our industry are actually quite profound,”
Haver said. “As a completely self-owned enterprise,
we will now be able to pursue our vision for
the most forward-thinking music production and DJ
technology in an even more energetic and uncompromising
fashion.” {native-instruments.com}
