DHX Considers Sale or Merger in Strategic Review

DHX Media has begun a strategic review to explore potential alternatives focused on maximizing shareholder value, including the possible sale of part or all of the company, a merger or other transactions.

The company formed a special committee of independent directors to consider and evaluate various strategic alternatives that are available. The committee will be chaired by Donald Wright and includes Elizabeth Beale and Geoffrey Machum. The news comes on the heels of DHX releasing its fiscal 2017 results, with revenue of $298.7 million, down from $304.8 million last year.

DHX Media’s board of directors will fully evaluate appropriate strategic alternatives while simultaneously supporting the company’s management and employees in their ongoing efforts to deliver children’s content and license brands around the world. The board has not yet set a timetable for this process and has not made any official decisions related to any strategic alternatives.
