NETASQ to be acquired by Cassidian CyberSecurity

                                Dear Partner,     NETASQ is on the verge of     taking an important step in its history with the acquisition of our company     by Cassidian CyberSecurity – a subsidiary of EADS Cassidian.          We would like to take this opportunity to inform you of this event in     advance, as the transaction is currently in the process of being approved     by the relevant authorities.           We will remain fully independent operationally and we will continue to     provide you with the support that you rightfully expect of us. NETASQ is to     become a subsidiary of Cassidian CyberSecurity and will retain its own     corporate governance and autonomy.     You can, in particular, rely     on us to carry on our technological innovation strategy and our 100%     indirect distribution strategy. NETASQ’s development relies on you, our     distribution partners, and we are counting on you to continue building our     common success together with the
support of Cassidian CyberSecurity.      This acquisition is in line with the creation of a European center     dedicated to unified solutions for securing information systems.           NETASQ represents the first brick of this center and through our tie-up     with Cassidian CyberSecurity, you can be assured that our future innovation     now has the backing of a large group with international reach. Indeed, our     ability to innovate and the quality of our R & D teams have been     determining factors in the EADS group’s interest in NETASQ.          The positive synergies that will arise from our acquisition by Cassidian     CyberSecurity will allow us to retain that which is most important to you –     our personalized service, performance and innovation.     Thank you for your     trust.                         François Lavaste       President                                                                     NETASQ©Copyright   2012 - All rights
