DxO Labs, the software arm of the DxO brand, has gone into receivership, according to reports.
The move is somewhat surprising for the French company, which only recently acquired the Nik Software plugins from Google.
It’s not entirely clear yet if ‘receivership’ holds the same meaning under French law, but generally when a company goes into receivership it means it is unable to meet its financial obligations.
When creditors lose faith in a business’s ability to pay back its debts, a receiver will be appointed who will look to sell off assets in order for the company to pay its debts.
Canon Rumors posts an email that was sent to a customer of DxO Labs, which doesn’t comment on the situation but does acknowledge it.
Hello sir,
In fact, the company has recently been placed under a regime of judicial administration, the time to reorganize.
Although we can not comment on this situation, we can nevertheless assure you that the company is absolutely not in liquidation and that we are confident that our customers will not be affected by this procedure.
And an admin from the Canon Rumors forum posted the following legal notice, which sheds a little light on the situation:
