DELIVERING SCIENTIFIC INNOVATION IN THE AGE OF EXPERIENCE Dassault Systèmes signed a definitive merger agreement to acquire Accelrys on January 30, 2014 with an all-cash tender offer for all of the outstanding shares of Accelrys common stock. The tender offer process was completed on April 29, 2014 with Accelrys filing the Certification and Notice of Termination of Registration with the SEC on May 9, meaning Accelrys is no longer a publicly traded company. Dassault Systèmes announced the creation of BIOVIA on May 21, 2014, describing the new company as a combination of Dassault Systèmes own activities in BioIntelligence, its collaborative 3DEXPERIENCE technologies and the leading life sciences and material sciences applications resulting from the acquisition of Accelrys. In today s experience economy, the capability to develop, simulate and produce breakthrough experiences at the molecular level delivers transformational value for enterprises of all industries, and has the promise to provide exponential value to consumers. BIOVIA is committed to enhancing and speeding innovation, improving productivity and compliance, reducing costs and accelerating product development from discovery through manufacturing for science- and processdriven enterprises of all industries. Integrating BIOVIA s strong suite of scientific informatics solutions with Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE Platform will create significant opportunities for BIOVIA to support and develop systemic collaboration, project management, data and content reuse, traceability and other processes, applications and integrations that are absolutely critical to science- and process-driven industries. COMPANY BACKGROUND AND HISTORY Accelrys was founded in 2001 from the combination of five companies: Molecular Simulations Inc. (MSI, itself a result of the combination of Biodesign, Cambridge Molecular Design, Polygen and, later, Biocad and Biosym Technologies), Synopsys Scientific Systems, Oxford Molecular, the Genetics Computer Group (GCG), and Synomics Ltd. In 2004, Accelrys acquired SciTegic, the developer of Pipeline Pilot data pipelining and scientific workflow authoring software. In July 2010, Accelrys merged with Symyx Technologies, Inc. This merger combined the Accelrys portfolio of scientific informatics solutions with the market-leading Symyx electronic laboratory notebook (ELN), now BIOVIA Workbook. The Symyx ELN had developed from Symyx s acquisition of two ELN companies, IntelliChem, Inc. and Synthematix, Inc., in 2004. The Accelrys-Symyx merger also extended Accelrys product offerings with certain software and content products from MDL Information Systems, Inc., which Symyx had acquired from Elsevier, Inc. in 2007. This acquisition included software products such as MDL Notebook, ISIS and its successor Isentris data access, analysis and decision support system, as well as the Direct data cartridge, Draw chemical drawing tool and comprehensive bioactivity and chemical sourcing databases including the well-known Available Chemicals Directory (ACD). MDL had been a premier scientific software vendor for over 25 years with critical software solutions deployed across approximately 750 organizations. Subsequently, Accelrys extended its ELN capabilities through the acquisition of Contur Software AB in May 2011. The Contur ELN, now BIOVIA Notebook, improves information sharing and reuse, data protection, process documentation and overall productivity in paperless environments with rapidly deployable on-premises and Cloud deployment options. Accelrys broadened its process management and compliance capabilities through the acquisition of VelQuest Corporation in January 2012. VelQuest s industry-leading data capture and laboratory execution software extends notebook usability into the critical QA/QC phase of product development in Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) environments. Accelrys further expanded its capabilities in new product development and commercial manufacturing and quality operations through the acquisition of Colorado-based Aegis Analytical Corporation in October 2012 with its industryleading Discoverant operations intelligence solution for compliance-intensive industries. In January of 2013 Accelrys solidified its market leadership in the laboratory informatics space with the acquisition of Vialis AG, a leading informatics system integrator based in Liestal, Switzerland serving the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, chemicals and agro-science industries. This team offers professional consulting services in business analysis, laboratory process excellence, multi-moment analysis, business case justification, vendor solution selection, integration consulting and solution support across the entire value and knowledge creation chain from research to production. In September 2013, Accelrys acquired ChemSW, Inc., a leading Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S) compliance solutions provider. This acquisition enabled Accelrys to provide CISPro solutions for managing and tracking the source, use and disposal of chemicals along the entire lab-to-plant value chain. The ability to manage chemicals across the full product lifecycle helps organizations across industries enhance compliance with increasingly complex global, national and local environmental health and safety regulations, and is critical to advancing sustainability strategies. In December 2013 Accelrys acquired QUMAS, a Cork Ireland-based company that focuses on controlled document management. This acquisition added targeted governance, risk management and compliance solutions to Accelrys portfolio, positioning Accelrys to deliver comprehensive enterprise quality management offerings. QUMAS customers include approximately 250 life sciences companies including manufacturers and clinical contract research organizations. Accelrys deliberate merger and acquisition strategy made the company one of the largest, most comprehensive scientific informatics companies in the world with a clear focus on creating, driving and delivering comprehensive scientific product lifecycle management solutions across the research, development, QA/QC and manufacturing phases of product development.
