Members will now have access to professionally shot, adrenaline-charged footage counting more than 30,000 jaw-dropping clips, available for purchase in early 2016.
The company’s agreement with Discovery Access allows VideoBlocks’ members access to content from around the world, ranging from breathtaking shots of volcanic eruptions and aerial footage looking straight into the eye of a hurricane, to rare glimpses of endangered wildlife in its natural habitat. The video clips are captured using state-of-the-art equipment at a cost that has made it all but impossible for budget conscious video editors to access—until now.

Shares of Advanced Semiconductor Engineering (ADR) (NYSE:ASX), inclined 3.17% to $5.86, during its current trading session.
Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, declared that it plans to commence on December 29, 2015 concurrent tender offers in the Republic of China (the “ROC Offer”) and in the United States (the “U.S. Offer,” and together with the ROC Offer, the “Tender Offer”) for common shares, counting those represented by American depositary shares (“ADSs”), of Siliconware Precision Industries Co., Ltd. (“SPIL”) at a price of NT$55 per common share and NT$275 per ADS, respectively. ASE plans to acquire an estimated maximum number of 770,000,000 common shares of SPIL (counting common shares represented by ADSs), equivalent to about 24.71% of the issued and outstanding common shares of SPIL.
The ROC Offer will commence at 9:00 a.m., Taiwan time, on December 29, 2015 and expire at 3:30 p.m., Taiwan time, on February 16, 2016. The U.S. Offer will commence at 12:00 a.m., New York City time, on December 29, 2015 and expire at 1:30 a.m., New York City time, on February 16, 2016.
On October 1, 2015, ASE attained 24.99% equity interest in SPIL through tender offers for a consideration of NT$35.2 billion to establish the basis and opportunity for exploration of possible avenues of cooperation between the two companies. However, after ASE attained its 24.99% equity interest in SPIL, SPIL’s administration has acted with animosity towards ASE and continuously disregarded ASE’s proposals to engage in negotiations on potential cooperation, and has taken various actions that are ill-advised from a corporate governance perspective. For example, SPIL commenced baseless litigation alleging that ASE does not have the right to be recorded in SPIL’s shareholder register for the shares ASE lawfully attained and paid for on October 1, 2015; and on December 11, 2015, SPIL declared yet another defensive measure under which SPIL would issue a large number of new shares to a third party through private placement (the “Third Party Deal”), another highly dilutive transaction which brings no cash value to SPIL shareholders.
