BlackBerry Ltd

BlackBerry Limited, formerly known as Research In Motion Limited, is a Canadian telecommunication and wireless equipment company best known as the developer of the BlackBerry brand of smartphones and tablets. The company is headquartered in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. It was founded by Mike Lazaridis, who served as its co-CEO along with Jim Balsillie until January 22, 2012; as of November 2013, Saad assumes the new title of "Lead Director and Chair of Compensation". In November 2013, John S. Chen took over as CEO. His strategy is to farm out manufacturing to Foxconn, and to focus on software technology. Originally a dominant innovative company in the smartphone market for business and government usage, with 43% US market share in 2010, the company has in recent years declined precipitously, in part because of intense competition from Apple's iPhone and Google's Android brands. Due to such competition, the company's share in the US personal consumer market was reduced to 3.8% in 2013. On September 23, 2013 the company signed a letter of intent to be acquired for US$4.7 billion, or US$9 per share, by a consortium led by Fairfax Financial which has announced its intentions to take the company private. On November 4, 2013 the deal was scrapped in favor of a US$1 billion cash injection that, according to one analyst, represented the level of confidence Blackberry's largest shareholder has in the company. The majority of Blackberry's remaining value lies in its patent portfolio, which has been valued at between US$2 billion and $3 billion.
