In August 2003, Corel was wholly acquired by Vector Capital, a venture capital investor, for a surprisingly low price of $1 a share (about the same as the cash in the company).
Corel itself was acquired by a San Francisco-based company in August last year and is going from strength to strength having shown profits for four consecutive quarters.
A critical milestone in Corel's ongoing growth strategy, this acquisition follows four consecutive quarters of profitability and a successfully completed turnaround since Corel was taken private in August 2003.
Corel is now poised for future market growth with the addition of the Paint Shop family of digital photography and image editing software.
