SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Pomerantz Law Firm Reminds Shareholders With Losses on Their Investment in Digital Generation, Inc. of Class
24 Mai 2013 - 8:24PM
Pomerantz Grossman Hufford Dahlstrom & Gross LLP has filed a
class action lawsuit against Digital Generation, Inc. ("Digital
Generation" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:DGIT) and certain of its
officers. The class action, filed in United States District Court,
Northern District of Texas, and docketed under 3:13-cv-1684, is on
behalf of a class consisting of all persons or entities who
purchased or otherwise acquired securities of Digital Generation
between June 20, 2011 and February 19, 2013, both dates inclusive
(the "Class Period"). This class action seeks to recover damages
against the Company and certain of its officers and directors as a
result of alleged violations of the federal securities laws
pursuant to Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.
If you are a shareholder who purchased Digital Generation
securities during the Class Period, you have until July 1, 2013 to
ask the Court to appoint you as Lead Plaintiff for the class. A

Digital Generation purports to be the "world's leading ad
management and distribution platform." The Company claims to
connect over 12,000 global advertisers and 5,000 agencies with
their targeted audiences through an expansive network of over
40,000 media destinations across broadcast and digital in 75
countries, managing approximately ten percent of the world's media
assets.
The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period,
defendants made materially false and misleading statements
regarding the Company's business, financial performance, and
prospects. During the Class Period, Digital Generation touted
itself as a Company achieving steady and consistent growth, and
poised for a strategic buyout on the basis of the Company's strong
performance and diversification. In order to cultivate this image,
defendants made a series of false and/or misleading statements
regarding its growth and value of its acquisitions, failing to
disclose that: (i) the Company's online segment was grossly
underperforming, and well below the value reported to investors;
(ii) past acquisitions had masked the Company's declining revenue
base; (iii) the Company had vastly overpaid for its acquisition of
Media Mind, Inc. ("Media Mind") and other online segments in order
to appear to be an attractive acquisition target; (iv) the Company
was not sufficiently poised for a strategic partnership or buyout;
and (v) as a result of the above, the Company's financial
statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant
times.
On November 8, 2012, the Company reported that for the quarter
ending September 30, 2012, an impairment charge of over $208
million was taken against the online media assets it had just
recently acquired: Media Mind, Inc., Eye Wonder and Peer 39. This
impairment represented a staggering 33% write-down of the initial
purchase price of these assets. The Company also reported that its
television unit took an impairment charge of over $131 million.
On February 19, 2013, the Company issued a press release
announcing that a Special Committee of the Company's Board of
Directors had failed to approve any transaction or strategic
alternative. In addition, the Company recorded an additional $11.4
million write-down of its recently acquired online segments.
On this news, the Company's shares declined $2.53 per share or
over 28% to close on February 19, 2013 at $6.45 per share.
