Under the deal, expected to close by the end of September, AOL will pay $322 million in cash, as well as another $83 million in company stock. Adap.tv will operate independently as part of AOL's video organization, led by Senior Vice President Ran Harnevo. Its technology will be offered by AOL Networks. "We believe that most TV advertising will soon be traded programmatically on platforms like ours," said Adap.tv CEO Amir Ashkenazi. "The combination of AOL and Adap.tv accelerates our vision." A year ago, Adap.tv supported more than 26,000 ad campaigns, which ran on approximately 9,500 websites. Tim Armstrong, AOL's chairman and CEO, said the goal of the companies is to "make advertising as easy as e-commerce." Adap.tv is backed by Bessemer Venture Partners, Gemini Israel Funds, Redpoint Ventures and Spark Capital. http://www.adap.tv/ http://corp.aol.com/2013/08/07/aol-to-expand-video-leadership-with-agreement-to-acquire-adap-tv/ _____________________________________________ o Redwood City-Based YuMe Prices IPO; Stock Remains Flat Redwood City, Calif. -- Shares of Redwood City-based YuMe remained flat on their first day of trading Wednesday, hours after the developer of digital video advertising software raised $46.1 million in its initial public offering (IPO).

The effort -- dubbed "30 Days of Change," will culminate with the unveiling of the company's official new logo at 9 p.m. PT on Sept. 4. Yahoo said it plans to keep the color purple, as well as its exclamation point and yodel theme. "Over the past year, there's been a renewed sense of purpose and progress at Yahoo, and we want everything we do to reflect this spirit of innovation," wrote CMO Kathy Savitt. "While the company is rapidly evolving, our logo -- the essence of our brand -- should too." The marketing push comes on the heels of a transitional period for the company, which began last summer with the hiring of former Google executive Marissa Mayer as its new CEO and included the $1.1 billion acquisition of blog network Tumblr in May. http://www.yahoo.com/dailylogo http://yahoo.tumblr.com/post/57582020969/kicking-off-30-days-of-change _____________________________________________ o CEA Sponsors New Site Aimed at Fighting Patent Trolls Arlington, Va. -- The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) said it is sponsoring a new website aimed at fighting patent trolls -- entities whose primary business is suing technology companies for patent infringement. The Trolling Effects site lets those receiving demand letters from patent trolls to post them online, view letters received by others and research exactly who is behind these threats. The project was spearheaded by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF). Gary Shapiro, president and CEO of the CEA, said he hopes the site, coupled with Congressional legislation, will "allow entrepreneurs to innovate without constant threat of frivolous lawsuits." https://trollingeffects.org/ _____________________________________________ o Briefly Noted: (San Francisco) San Francisco-based Glu Mobile, a developer and publisher of free-to-play games for smartphone and tablet devices, said on Wednesday it has expanded its operations in Asia.
