have an industry veteran like Josef join us and lead the next chapter of
IncrediMail's success story. As a profitable and growing operation,
IncrediMail is poised to explore new opportunities in emerging markets,
such as social networking and the mobile Internet. Under Josef's
leadership, we intend to further extend our organic growth, explore new
possibilities in product development, and actively seek acquisitions.
Josef is clearly the right person to lead this phase, and I am looking
forward to working with him in the future to increase shareholder value."
"IncrediMail's popular internet products, innovative team, strong
balance sheet and cash flow make it well positioned for extensive growth
both organically and through acquisitions," said Mandelbaum. "Ofer has
done an outstanding job in creating IncrediMail and turning it into a
very profitable platform. I am very excited about the opportunity to
lead IncrediMail to the next level, and strongly believe there is a real
