24 hours later - E2A - unfortunately, Christophe seems to have changed his mind, and sent back another counter-offer instead of confirming his agreement and proceeding with the legalities.


Short Statement from William Sutherland.
Good evening,

Today, 19 April 2017 IMA received notification that Christophe, the President and CEO of Ipernity S.A. has accepted IMA's proposal. I am hoping a Skype call can be held tomorrow to work out the logistics of the transfer.

As a result, Indiegogo will be permitted to transfer funds to IMA's account sometime early next week following the results of the Skype call.

Ipernity S.A. will make an announcement most likely sometime tomorrow to confirm the agreement

So pleased that all the work behind the scenes appears to have worked.
