IncrediMail Ltd. to Change Name to Perion Network Ltd.

IncrediMail Ltd. (NASDAQ:MAIL), announced it has received stockholder support and formal approval from the Israeli Companies Registrar to change the Company's name to Perion Network Ltd. (NASDAQ:PERI) as part of a rebranding campaign to reflect its new vision and expanding product portfolio.

As it relates to trading of the Company’s common stock, the official name change, will take effect at the close of business in New York today, November 9, 2011, and shares trading on the NASDAQ under the new name and symbol, PERI, are expected to commence on the opening bell tomorrow morning, November 10, 2011.

"Our new name – Perion – is derived from the English translation of the Hebrew word for 'productivity' and better reflects our new corporate vision, to make the digital life of our users simpler and more enjoyable through a portfolio of easy to use productivity based applications and services,” said Josef Mandelbaum, IncrediMail’s CEO.

“IncrediMail will continue to be one of our primary brands, but following the acquisition of Smilebox and launch of PhotoJoy and Fixie, we have become much more than a one-product company. As we continue to build out our portfolio of easy-to-use productivity tools, we want consumers to recognize our brands under the Perion umbrella which over time offers us the perfect branding platform to grow the business and earn our consumer’s trust.”
