NortonLifeLock has announced it has rebranded as Gen Digital following the completion of its merger with Avast.
As of today, Gen Digital will trade on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange, under the “GEN” symbol, although shareholders need not do anything.
The move should deliver more than $280 million in annual cost savings within three years’ time.
Avast was founded in Prague in 1988 before going public in 2018 on the London Stock Exchange, where it was valued at approximately $3 billion, making it one of the UK’s biggest technology listings at the time.
NortonLifeLock’s Chief Executive Officer, Vincent Pilette, is keeping his position at the newly-merged company, with Avast CEO Ondrej Vlcek joining as president and board member.
"Today, five billion people around the world are online; digital life is life," Pilette said. "We’re all a part of a new generation, regardless of age. It’s not Gen X, Y or Z, it’s Generation Digital. Gen’s family of trusted brands has a heritage of protecting the first digital generations and is united by a shared purpose to power Digital Freedom for the next generation of our digital lives."
