Digital Generation Announces Conclusion of Special Committee Review of Strategic Alternatives
DALLAS, TX--(Marketwire - Feb 19, 2013) - DG (NASDAQ: DGIT), the world's leading ad management and distribution platform, today announced the results of the review of DG's strategic alternatives by a Special Committee of DG's Board of Directors.
Since August 2012, the Special Committee has explored numerous strategic alternatives available to the Company, including a sale of all or parts of the business, a spin-off and split-off of parts of the business, capital structure alternatives, and potential merger combinations. As part of its active review, the Special Committee and its financial advisor, Goldman Sachs, engaged with over 45 potential financial and strategic partners (including competitors of the Company) to determine their levels of interest in a strategic transaction involving the Company. None of the parties contacted by the Special Committee presented a definitive transaction for final approval by the Special Committee. The Special Committee is not recommending any transaction or other strategic alternative to the Board. Accordingly, the Special Committee has advised the Board that its review of strategic alternatives has concluded.
The Special Committee believes substantial benefit was derived from the strategic alternatives process and will advise the Board on potential actions to enhance the value of our business for our shareholders.
