Michael Wellesley-Wesley, ChyronHego CEO, said in a statement, “The second quarter was a pivotal quarter in the formation of ChyronHego.

“Having effected an extensive rebranding, we presented the combined company to our customers at the NAB tradeshow in April and received a very encouraging response. In early May, 2013, we eliminated a number of Chyron positions primarily in the  United States, thus completing a restructuring initiative that began in 2012, and on May 22, 2013, we formally completed our  merger with Hego AB to form ChyronHego.

“We’ve now been conducting business as a brand new company for just over two months. We have won significant new business in terms of product sales with BT Sport and ITV Regional News in the UK and major US and LatAm networks, as well as with U.S. TV Station Groups. In the area of multi-year sports production services  contracts, Hego announced its largest ever contract with the German Soccer League, during the quarter. I am optimistic regarding our business prospects for the second half of 2013.”
