Amazon Appstore Launches in Europe; Now Available in the UK, Germany, France, Italy and Spain Amazon Appstore Launches in Europe; Now available in the UK, Germany, France, Italy and Spain August 30, 2012 Amazon Appstore rollout across the EU is the latest in a series of additions that make Amazon the most complete end-to-end platform for developers looking to build, market and monetise their apps and games SEATTLE and LUXEMBOURG – 30 August 2012 – (NASDAQ: AMZN) – Amazon.com, Inc. today announced the launch of its Amazon Appstore in the UK, Germany, France, Italy and Spain, giving European customers access to Amazon’s broad selection of quality Android apps with the convenience of shopping on Amazon from their Android phones and tablets. Customers can get the Amazon Appstore for their Android phones and tablets by visiting www.amazon.co.uk/get-appstore. Amazon’s Appstore offers a great selection of games and apps, including local favourites like ’Jamie Oliver’s 20 Minute Meals’ and ’Skyscanner’, established bestsellers like ’Who Wants to be a Millionaire’ and ’Cut the Rope’, and new apps from top-tier brands like Rovio and Sanrio Digital. In addition to localised content and a localised mobile store for each specific country, European customers will have access to popular Amazon Appstore features like the ’Free App of the Day’, which offers a paid app for free every day. Today’s Free App of the Day is the ad-free version of ’Angry Birds’; and the PopCap favorite ’Plants vs. Zombies’ will be offered for free tomorrow. All Free Apps of the Day are specially selected for the Free App of the Day programme. Apps and games purchased from Amazon can be used across a customer’s Android devices, enabling them to buy an app or game once and enjoy it everywhere. The Amazon Appstore also includes popular Amazon features like personalised recommendations, Customer Reviews and 1-Click payments. In order to ensure that customers have the best possible experience with the apps they purchase, apps are Amazon-tested and backed by Amazon’s world-class customer support. “Customers in the US have purchased millions of apps, games, in-app items and subscriptions since the store launched last year, and we’ve received great feedback about discovery features like Free App of the Day. We evaluate and test games and apps before making them available in the Appstore so we ensure customers have a great experience with the games and apps they purchase,” said Jim Adkins, Vice President of Amazon Appstore. “Amazon has spent years developing innovative features that help customers find and discover the products that are right for them and have applied that know-how to the Amazon Appstore. We’re delighted to extend that experience to our European customers.” Amazon continues to roll out services and features that make it the most complete end-to-end solution for developers wanting to build, market and monetise their apps and games. Developers can build their apps and games using Amazon Web Service's industry-leading infrastructure platform. For important audience engagement features like Leaderboards, Achievements and Syncing game state between devices, developers can use Amazon’s new GameCircle services. To gain exposure to tens of millions of customers, developers can list their apps in the Amazon Appstore and take advantage of awareness-building programmes like Free App of the Day. And, to monetise their apps and games, developers can use Amazon’s industry-leading e-commerce and payment capabilities like In-App Purchasing and Subscriptions. "Amazon's Free App of the Day programme is really unique," said Peter Vesterbacka, Rovio Mighty Eagle and CMO. "Over the past year we have offered Amazon customers some of our best-selling premium games like ’Angry Birds Rio’ and ’Angry Birds Seasons’, for free, and the response has been truly overwhelming. We are pleased to offer Amazon customers another one of our most popular premium titles, ’Angry Birds’, for free today." "Amazon customers are very important to us, and ’Cut the Rope’ and ’Cut the Rope: Experiments’ have been in the top of the charts on Amazon Appstore in the US. We are focused on delivering great gaming experiences to our users all over the world, and are looking forward to reaching more ’Cut the Rope’ fans as Amazon launches its store in Europe," said Misha Lyalin, CEO ZeptoLab. “At Glu we’ve always been an early adopter of Amazon services for both building and selling our mobile games. For example, “Frontline Commando" was one of the first games on the Amazon Appstore to offer IAP and subscriptions. This game also leverages Amazon’s S3 and Sync services,” said Niccolo de Masi, Chief Executive Officer of Glu Mobile. “Amazon offers us exposure to its large customer base and we will continue to use the Amazon platform in our efforts to grow our business.” “We are big fans of Amazon Appstore and have seen tremendous growth in our business since we started releasing our apps on the Amazon platform,” said Suli Ali, CEO of TinyCo. “We have been extremely successful with Amazon’s In-App Purchasing. It was easy to implement, and we have generated significantly more revenue per customer than with any other platform. Since we have had such success with Amazon, when GameCircle was introduced, it was a no-brainer, we added it to our apps right away.” "Zolmo is excited that ‘Jamie Oliver's 20 Minute Meals’ will be a part of Amazon's International expansion into the UK, Germany, France, Italy and Spain," said Tristan Celder, Zolmo CEO. "We look forward to being a part of Amazon's Free App of the Day programme as we bring Jamie Oliver's quick and delicious recipes to a new set of customers across the globe." “The arrival of Amazon’s store in the UK makes it even easier for Skyscanner users to search for flights anywhere they want, “ said Gareth Williams, Skyscanner’s CEO, “Travellers are by definition a mobile group of people so they need to be able to search on the move, we’re very much looking forward to making our All Flights, Everywhere! app available to millions of Amazon customers in the UK.” Amazon Appstore has launched in the UK (www.amazon.co.uk/get-appstore) and the following European countries: Amazon App-Shop in Germany www.amazon.de/app-shop-download Amazon App-Shop in France www.amazon.fr/app-shop-download Amazon App-Shop in Italy www.amazon.it/scopri-app-shop Tienda Apps de Amazon www.amazon.es/obtener-tienda-apps ### About Amazon.co.uk Amazon.co.uk opened its virtual doors in October 1998 and strives to be Earth’s most customer-centric company, where customers can find and discover anything they might want to buy online, and endeavours to offer its customers the lowest possible prices.

  • Amazon.Com, Inc. for the Exclusive Use of D. Regresado, 2018
    For the exclusive use of D. Regresado, 2018. MH0053 1259927628 REV: MAY 25, 2017 FRANK T. ROTHAERMEL Amazon.com, Inc. It was late on a dreary winter day in Seattle in early January 2017. As Jeff Bezos studied the report for final quarter in 2016, he hoped investors would be pleased with the results. Amazon’s share price was up 43% compared to the same time last year, and market cap had grown almost 12% from $318 billion to $356 billion over the same time.1 Exhibit 1 depicts Amazon’s revenue, net income, and oper- ating expenses from 1996 to 2016. As Amazon evolved with technology, traditional boundaries between hardware and software, products and services, and online and bricks- and-mortar stores had become increasingly blurred. As a result, Amazon found itself engaged in a fierce competitive battle for control of the emerging digital ecosys- tem, pitted itself against technology giants such as Alphabet (Google’s parent company), Alibaba, and even Microsoft and Apple. Throughout this digital transformation, Amazon’s investors remained focused on the long-term, because consistent profitability continued to elude the company. Sales, however, increased quarter after quarter, fueling optimism in what the long-term projects the company invested in could mean for future profitability and growth. Investors are by now quite familiar with the three pillars of Amazon that Bezos likes to talk about: the e-commerce marketplace, the Prime membership program, and Amazon Web Services (AWS). But will this be enough going forward? While Amazon was starting to post some profits, its stock was down 7% after the last quarterly results were posted in 2016.2 As Bezos gazed out of the office window into the darkness, he could not help but ask himself that very question: What should be the fourth pillar of Amazon? After all, Amazon had launched a smart- phone, a set-top box for video streaming, a music streaming service, in-house video programming, and expanded same-day delivery services.
