All,
I'm happy and =xcited to tell you that SmartThings is being acquired by =amsung.
Here is a blog =ost from me that covers it which went live 2 minutes ago:
http://blog.smartthings.com/news/smartthings-update=/smartthings-samsung-open-platform/
I have also =ttached a top level Q&A in case that is helpful to =ou.
We made the =ecision to join forces with Samsung to help us continue our journey to =ecome the dominant
player in the Global Smart Home and Internet of =hings market.
As part of =amsung, SmartThings will run as an independent and standalone business, =etaining its brand and
easy and open stance for the entire ecosystem =ncluding customers, developers, and partners.
While staying =ully open, SmartThings will also benefit from the massive scale and =each available through the
resources and businesses of =amsung.
We believe that =oupling our market leading platform and ecosystem with the massive =cale and reach of
Samsung will enable us to more quickly fulfill on our =ission, to make every home a Smart Home, and bring the benefits
of the =oT and smart home to hundreds of millions of consumers.

Most important, I =ant to say thank you for the role that you played in making this =appen. We couldn't have
done any of this without our investors, and =e are extremely grateful to all of you for supporting us through the =irst
part of this amazing journey.
I'll be in =ouch in the coming days to say thank you in person, but things are a =ittle crazy right now, and I didn't
want to wait to deliver this =xciting news and my personal thanks.
Of course this is =ust the beginning. The entire SmartThings team is looking forward to =aking the business
forward and making it the global success that we all =now it can be.
Fro= the bottom of my heart, thank you for all of your help and guidance =hrough the first 2 years and 3 months
of our incredible journey! The =est is yet to come!
