Toluna receives the AIM Award for Transaction of the Year!
Toluna is pleased to announce that at the annual AIM Awards Dinner held on 15 October 2009 it received the AIM award for the Transaction of the Year.
This prestigious award recognises a company that has been transformed by a single financial or commercial transaction during the period under review.
According to the judging panel: “The company chosen to receive this award must have displayed a significant achievement in transforming itself, literally at a stroke, and thereby creating significant shareholder value.”
Toluna received this award following its recent acquisition of the business and assets of the Internet Survey Solutions division of Greenfield Online Inc from Microsoft Corp. in July 2009 for $40 million.
Frederic-Charles Petit commented:
“We are pleased to receive this award which is showing the recognition of the AIM community of the strategic value of our recent acquisition of Greenfield Online ISS. Creating the world leader in our industry and being rewarded for it is both an achievement for our staff across the globe as well supporting our goal of being the company that can answer from 1 to hundreds of questions by anyone, anytime and anywhere”.
