Press Release LBi International N.V.
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Amsterdam (the Netherlands), 25 June 2012 - The Board of LBi International N.V.
("LBi" or the "Company"; NYSE Euronext symbol: LBI), notes the press speculation
that has arisen following the recent announcement of WPP plc that it is to
acquire AKQA Holdings, Inc.
The Board of LBi considers such speculation to be inevitable, given that LBi is
the largest remaining independent digital marketing agency, operating in a
sector that has entered a period of consolidation in recent years.
The Company has, for some time, received interest from potential suitors and,
more recently, commenced initial discussions with third parties interested in
pursuing further consolidation in the sector. Such discussions are at a very
preliminary stage and there can be no certainty that an offer will be made for
the Company.
The Board believes LBi has taken significant steps in recent years to reposition
the Company and is well placed to continue to operate independently. LBi has
strong prospects as the world's largest independent marketing and technology
agency with offices in 16 countries.
Further announcements will be made if and when circumstances so require. This
announcement is made pursuant to Section 5:25i of the Dutch Financial
Supervision Act.
