Through our work with the Agfa team on the EFI-Agfa DPS combination, we have gained an even deeper appreciation for the strength of the business, the quality of its people and the significant opportunities ahead. We are excited to deepen our partnership with Agfa and to serve as a constructive shareholder as the company continues to invest in its growth businesses and build on the transformation underway across the company.”
