HEMISPHERE GPS ANNOUNCES CORPORATE NAME CHANGE TO AGJUNCTION INC., UNVEILS NEW BRAND, WEBSITES
AgJunction Inc., formerly Hemisphere GPS Inc., has changed its corporate name and associated Toronto Stock Exchange trading symbol, and unveiled a new brand identity, and a redesigned family of company and product websites.
At the Hemisphere GPS annual general and special meeting on May 15, 2013, shareholders approved a name change for the company from Hemisphere GPS to AgJunction Inc. Consistent with the official name change, the company is also announcing a new stock trading symbol (AJX), under which its common shares will begin trading on or about May 29, 2013.
The evolution of the AgJunction corporate brand began with the announcement of a new, precision agriculture-focused growth strategy under the leadership of Rick Heinger, who was appointed president and chief executive officer in September, 2012.
"Our new brand represents a strategic shift in vision and message while at the same time supporting AgJunction's industry-leading hardware technology brands," says Mr. Heinger. "The new identity supports a singular vision of integrating core technologies in a world of convergence and connectivity in precision agriculture."
AgJunction deployed an integrated family of websites reflective of the new identity, including a corporate site, and divisional sites for Outback Guidance, Satloc and AgJunction cloud services.
The new websites integrate the company's mission-critical hardware and software, and enterprise-level cloud services with an updated, modern design while also highlighting its industry-leading brands for both air and ground applications. The integrated Web framework allows users to access all sites seamlessly and provides secure access for AgJunction cloud services clients directly from the corporate home page.
"We believe the new brand identity strengthens the company on its mission to advance our cloud-hosted technologies, and simplify field applications for both growers and their agricultural service providers," adds Mr. Heinger.
We seek Safe Harbor.
