A Letter From the President
By now, you have probably heard or read that Evans & Sutherland has announced
its intention to acquire AccelGraphics, subject to approval of AccelGraphics
stockholders and fulfillment of other closing conditions. We are very excited
about the merger because it brings together two companies with complementary
strengths. Evans & Sutherland provides a well-funded company with 28 years of
experience in high-performance 3D graphics and has established itself very
successfully in the NT 3D chip business over the last few years. AccelGraphics
brings its well-earned reputation for outstanding performance, application
quality, and great service; strong relations with major independent software
vendors; and we believe more OEMs than any other high-end graphics card vendor
in the business. Together, we hope to accomplish great things in the years to
come. Most importantly, we believe that this combination will benefit customers,
with more technology integrated with even better quality.
AccelGraphics expects to continue to provide the same high level of service and
support for its existing 3Dlabs-based products, including our current AccelSTAR
II and AccelPRO MX (If you have not received a copy of the joint letter from
Osman Kent of 3Dlabs and myself, your AccelGraphics sales representative or
customer support representative would be pleased to send it to you). 3Dlabs
remain a valued business partner with chipsets that complement those from Evans
& Sutherland. AccelGraphics will also continue to search for and provide new 3D
technology from a variety of vendors to assure that our customers can turn to us
for the high quality products in any price range.
The months ahead, as AccelGraphics and Evans & Sutherland join forces to work
together, will be exciting. I think you'll be very pleased with the results. We
look forward to continuing to provide you with the high quality products and
services you've come to expect from AccelGraphics.
AccelGraphics has retained Georgeson & Company to serve as Information Agent in
connection with the merger. Questions regarding the merger as well as requests
for additional copies of the proxy materials and form of election that have been
mailed to the AccelGraphics stockholders can be directed to Georgeson & Company
at (800) 223-2064.
Best regards,
Jeffrey Dunn
President and CEO
