IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Conde Nast GmbH, Germany's leading publishing company, brings the German editions of the world's most noted magazine brands; Vogue, GQ, GQ Style, AD, Wired and more to the world's largest and fastest growing global digital multi-platform newsstand and magazine store, Magzter. Today, Conde Nast GmbH produces eight magazines in print and digital, cutting-edge websites and a growing number of mobile apps.

New York, New York - Conde Nast GmbH, Germany's leading publishing company brings the German editions of the world's most noted magazine brands; Vogue, GQ, GQ Style, AD, Wired and more to the world's largest and fastest growing global digital multi-platform newsstand and magazine store, Magzter. Today, Conde Nast GmbH produces eight magazines in print and digital, cutting-edge websites and a growing number of mobile apps.

Conde Nast International has been a partner with Magzter ever since they commenced operations, with renowned titles like Vogue and GQ being among the first of the digital magazines to be available on the newsstand to global readers. In three years Magzter has grown into a powerful digital distributor of magazines and books in the United States, United Kingdom and Europe, with Conde Nast GmbH being the newest sign-up from Europe. Conde Nast continues to remain the leader in producing outstanding digital content across multiple platforms.

Magzter's acceptance worldwide by acclaimed publishing houses can well be credited to its proprietary Orey Click Publishing System (R), the one-touch to upload phenomenon that has helped publishers make the conversion from print to digital seamless. Conde Nast has always remained a notch above the rest, adopting trends early, with an eye on the future. It was one of the first publishers to create a digital division to steer its publishing activities.

Magzter strengthens its presence in Europe and among German readers in particular; giving the world an outstanding, path-breaking, eclectic and award-winning content, thus boosting the position of digital publishing today.

Vogue, launched in 1979, is synonymous with fashion and style. Each month it presents the best from the international world of fashion. The Vogue Business supplement focuses on career topics and business personalities twice a year. The annual subscription of the digital magazine is priced at EUR 49.99

GQ, launched in 1997, represents a sophisticated and stylish lifestyle for German men. Every month, the brand explores the male universe with intellectual opinion, attitude and style. The annual subscription of the digital magazine is priced at EUR 38.99

Wired is a worldwide navigator for those inspired by innovation. The annual subscription of the digital magazine is priced at EUR 44.99

AD is the premier magazine for architecture and interior design in the German-speaking world. Launched in 1997, this award-winning title is published ten times per year in print and digital, and presents a world of stylish living to its affluent and sophisticated readers. The annual subscription of the digital magazine is priced at EUR 44.99

German Glamour, launched in 2001, with a fashion and beauty focus, has developed into a powerful multi-media brand. Glamour's Shopping Week is the most successful trade cooperation in the German magazine market and has received several awards. The annual subscription of the digital magazine is priced at EUR 16.99

Myself, the monthly, launched in 2005, with the strapline "many lives, one magazine", is targeted at smart, sophisticated, affluent women aged 25 plus who are interested in a wide variety of subjects including fashion, beauty, relationships, food, travel, home, design, health and careers. The annual subscription of the digital magazine is priced at EUR 29.99

"Europe's diverse, multi-lingual population has led to the creation of top-flight content that is equally varied, spanning several genres and languages. Conde Nast GmbH does just that and more with its German editions of these venerable global brands as we are equally excited about our association with the Conde Nast brand in Europe. This partnership also helps increase Magzter's footprint in a strategic market with our goal of becoming a true global content destination platform." - Scott Verchin, Vice President - Global Content Acquisition - Magzter.

"I'd like to thank Conde Nast GmbH for making Magzter their digital newsstand of choice. This partnership stands testimony to the fact that big publishers like Conde Nast GmbH are seeing tangible results from the availability of digital magazine editions, pushing them to hasten the conversion. We are certain that this will motivate more publishers to come aboard Magzter to realize their fullest potential in the market."- Josef Heinle, Sales Head - Magzter.

The Conde Nast GmbH is a 100% subsidiary of the British publishing group Conde Nast International, which is part of the US media group Advance Publications. It was named after its founder, the publisher Conde Montrose Nast (1873-1942). The German subsidiary publishing house was founded in 1978 in Munich. Currently the women's magazines Vogue, Glamour, Myself, the men's lifestyle title GQ, men's fashion magazine GQ Style, residential and design magazine AD (Architectural Digest), as well as technology and digital culture title Wired are published.

In September 2000 Conde Nast founded the sister company Conde Nast Digital Germany GmbH, which took over the editorial management and marketing of the magazine websites as well as the site Style.de.

The Managing Director and Editor of the publishing house, which has about 300 employees, is Moritz von Laffert. Laffert is also Vice President of Conde Nast International. The company maintains its US headquarters in the Conde Nast Building in New York City.

Securify App iOS App helps you get home safe this New Year's Eve - Published on 12/31/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The addition of Securify App to your iOS or Android home screen can provide an extra level of safety and security this evening and throughout 2015. A great app for travelling safely, Securify brings emergency response into the 21st Century, enabling anyone to alert the authorities with precise GPS location and other critical information in a matter of seconds. If the user indicates that they are able to speak, an expert agent will call and stay on the line until help arrives.

New York, New York - Tragedy is no way to ring in 2015. The simple addition of Securify App to your iOS or Android home screen can provide an extra level of safety and security this evening and throughout the year. Securify app brings emergency response into the 21st Century, enabling users to alert the authorities with precise GPS location and other critical information in a matter of seconds - a great app for travelling safely.

One touch of the Securify SOS button alerts the Securify 24-hour global response center with the user's precise location, along with text and video messages regarding any type of emergency. Securify routes information to the appropriate authorities within approx. 5 seconds, and periodically updates the user regarding the progress of the response. If the user indicates that they are able to speak, an expert agent will call and stay on the line until help arrives.

Securify should never be used as a substitute for a 911 call. However, "silent" text alerts have proven to be lifesaving in many situations - particularly when a voice call could endanger the user.

Special features:
* Time: Reporting less than 5 seconds means faster response times for emergencies
* No speaking: Silence is golden, especially in certain emergencies. With Securify help is only a tap away
* Real-time feedback: Stay calm and informed with the progress of your alert
* Agents: Feel you need an agent? If you want to speak with someone, they're just another tap away
* Recording: Enable 1 minute silent recording so agents can better assess the situation. You can also send as many voice notes as needed
* Pictures: A picture is worth 1000 words; share images with an agent for more accurate help

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPhone
* Requires iOS 7.0 or later
* 10.1 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Securify 1.0.2 is free and available worldwide through the App Store in the Utilities category. There is also an Android version available.
