DG FastChannel, Inc. (NASDAQ: DGIT) and Enliven Marketing Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: ENLV) (�Enliven�) announced today that they have entered into an amended merger agreement regarding DG FastChannel�s previously announced acquisition of Enliven in a stock-for-stock transaction. The revised terms of the transaction value Enliven at approximately $80 million, inclusive of approximately $5.0 million of Enliven�s debt. Pursuant to the terms of the revised merger agreement, each outstanding share of Enliven common stock will be converted into 0.033 shares of DG FastChannel common stock. In the aggregate, DG FastChannel expects to issue approximately 2.9 million shares of its common stock (exclusive of shares already owned by DG FastChannel). Under the terms of the original merger agreement dated May 7, 2008, DG FastChannel expected to issue 4.5 million shares of its common stock (exclusive of shares already owned by DG FastChannel). Upon consummation of the merger, DG FastChannel will have approximately 20.9 million shares of common stock outstanding, with current DG FastChannel shareholders owning approximately 86%, and current Enliven shareholders (excluding DG FastChannel) owning approximately 14% of the combined enterprise. DG FastChannel will also assume Enliven�s outstanding debt. As part of the May 2007 strategic alliance between the two companies, DG FastChannel purchased 10,750,000 Enliven common shares (approximately 12% of the Company�s outstanding shares) in a private equity placement at a price of $0.40 per share, for an aggregate amount of $4.3 million. In accordance with the revised merger agreement, upon closing the transaction, DG FastChannel�s Board of Directors will be increased from seven to eight members, with Harvey D. Weatherson, a current Enliven Board member, joining DG FastChannel's Board of Directors. As a result of the merger, Enliven will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of DG FastChannel. DG FastChannel expects to achieve operating and financial synergies based on the combination of the respective operating strategies of the Company and Enliven. The new combined company expects to realize approximately $3 million of cost savings in its first full year of operation as a combined entity through the elimination of duplicative corporate overhead. Concurrently, DG FastChannel expects to make substantial investments in upgrading the Unicast sales organization and enhancing its ad delivery software platform. The revised terms of the merger, expected to be completed within 30 days, have been approved by the Board of Directors of both DG FastChannel and Enliven Marketing Technologies. The merger is subject to a vote of the Enliven shareholders, regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. Enliven will distribute a supplement to its proxy statement which will describe in greater detail the revised terms of the merger, and the Enliven Board�s reasons for recommending the revised terms to Enliven shareholders.
