Vistaprint Agrees to Acquire Albumprinter

Vistaprint N.V. today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Albumprinter, a privately held Dutch photo book and photo product company, for 60 million euros payable at closing and up to an additional 5 million euros based on a performance based earn-out. This acquisition is in line with Vistaprint's recently announced strategy to be more proactive in its evaluation of acquisition opportunities in adjacent markets.

Albumprinter, based in Amsterdam, with a manufacturing presence in the Hague, is one of the top providers of photo books in the European online photo book market. With approximately 37 million euros in revenue in the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2011, the company employs about 150 full-time employees, and has a primary market presence in the Netherlands, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Sweden and Norway.

This acquisition combines Vistaprint's strengths of a pan-European customer base with Albumprinter's specialized expertise and technology for the design and production of photo books. Vistaprint currently plans to promote the Albumprinter offering across the European market. The acquisition will also enable Albumprinter's customers to benefit from a much expanded product offering of personalized products that Vistaprint produces.

"We look forward to welcoming the Albumprinter team and to combining our talent and strengths in support of customers throughout Europe. Albumprinter brings a company culture focused on customer satisfaction, intuitive user interface software, strong photo book manufacturing experience, a premium brand and a solid financial profile," said Robert Keane, president and chief executive officer of Vistaprint.

Albumprinter chief executive officer Kees Arends added, "We expect to provide a product line and expertise that complement Vistaprint's current offerings and geographic reach in the European market. As a company with a similar focus on core capabilities, we are excited about further development of our products and services in order to address what we believe to be a large and growing opportunity. This combination should enable us to even better serve a growing group of satisfied customers."
