(LADB), a Los Angeles-based leader in digital media and content processing, to accelerate its penetration into the consumer market. This long-term agreement will strengthen D-BOXs presence in Los Angeles and increase the capacity and speed of haptic content output. It will also allow us to solidify our business relationships with major film studios and large movie exhibitors in the United States, and to benefit from LADBs local business network with studios and more specifically with emerging streaming platforms. For almost 20 years, LADB has been an innovator in the entertainment industry. The company is recognized by members of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences for its specialized, rapid turnaround services for major Hollywood studios, producers, directors, production companies and agencies. In an industry where the protection and confidentiality of film content are crucial, LADB is the only post-production company worldwide to have three concurrent ISO certifications in addition to being part of the TPN (Trusted Partner Network) vendor roster. Since accessibility to haptic content is essential to the realization of D-BOXs consumer strategy, it intends to build on LADBs recognized expertise and available resources in order to accelerate and increase the development of its haptic content.

We have always kept with the pace of developments in the entertainment industry to keep us competitive. Our partnership with D-BOX will allow LADB to increase utilization of our secure content delivery capabilities and resources, said Eric Collins, President and CEO of LADB. D-BOX has been looking for an ideal partner, based in California, close to movie exhibitors and major studios, that it could count on to shift into high gear. LADB has a clear ability to support us in this regard, and it is also very close to the emerging global video streaming market, which is an undeniable attraction for D-BOX in its quest to reach the consumer market, said Sbastien Mailhot, President and CEO of DBOX. COVID-19 has accelerated the craze for home entertainment and the company intends more than ever to position itself to meet the demand and capitalize on this opportunity. Consumer spending on home entertainment through streaming services and video-on-demand in the United States reached $25.2 billion in 2019, rising 25.7% in the first half of 2020. By launching several consumer products in 2021, D-BOX is positioning itself more than ever in this very promising sector.
