DG to Explore Strategic Alternatives to
Maximize Shareholder Value

 

Dallas, TX – July 16, 2012 - DG® (NASDAQ: DGIT), the world’s leading ad management and distribution platform, today announced that its Board of Directors is undergoing a strategic review of the feasibility and relative merits of various financial strategies for the company, which may include partnerships, strategic business model alternatives, a sale or other transaction.

 

“In fulfilling our fiduciary obligation to our investors, the Board has decided to explore a number of strategic options for the Company,” said Scott Ginsburg, Chairman of DG’s Board of Directors. “We are open-minded about this process and intend to examine a variety of alternatives thoughtfully and carefully. We remain focused on executing on our business plan to bring an independent, end-to-end platform and workflow tool set for advertisers to manage, deliver, optimize and measure their campaigns across TV, Web, mobile and social channels.”

 



 

DG has engaged Goldman, Sachs and Co. in conjunction with the exploration of strategic alternatives. In making this announcement, DG offers no assurance that the review of possible alternatives will result in a sale or related transaction and the company does not intend to disclose developments until such time as the Board of Directors approves or has a transaction(s) to recommend to stockholders, or otherwise deems further disclosure appropriate.
