REVU 4.85 The Princeton Review Receives $60 Million Investment from Bain Capital Ventures and Prides Capital
Michael J. Perik Named CEO
Jul 24, 2007 8:00:00 AM
NEW YORK, July 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Princeton Review, Inc. (Nasdaq: REVU), a leading provider of test preparation services and educational support services, today announced that it has reached a definitive agreement with Bain Capital Ventures and Prides Capital under which the two private investors have made a $60 million of preferred stock investment in the company. The preferred stock will be convertible into common stock at $6.00 a share and for four years will accrue a six percent annual dividend. Additionally, in connection with the agreement, the Company will retire its B- 1 Convertible Preferred Stock.
The Princeton Review also announced that Michael J. Perik, former CEO of The Learning Company, will become the new Chief Executive Officer of the Princeton Review, effective immediately. He succeeds the company's founder, John S. Katzman, who will remain as Executive Chairman.
"Over the past 25 years, we have created an unrivaled brand in learning, and helped millions of students in the United States and around the world pursue higher education," said Katzman. "Today's changes take us to another level. Bain and Prides bring great track records, and their investment materially strengthens and simplifies our balance sheet; this will allow us to capitalize on a number of important opportunities in the industry, as we place a renewed emphasis on expanding the geographic and product footprint of our core franchise.
Katzman continued, "I have worked with Michael for five years, and am particularly pleased that he has accepted the invitation to lead our team. He is uniquely qualified to help us run a disciplined company that delivers both shareholder value and high growth."
Perik, 49, most recently served as Chairman of Houghton Mifflin Company's Assessment Division. He was previously Chief Executive Officer of Achievement Technologies, which was sold to Houghton Mifflin in 2006. Before that, Perik was Chairman and CEO of The Learning Company.
"For a generation of American students, The Princeton Review has been synonymous with success and quality," said Michael Krupka, a Managing Director at Bain Capital Ventures. "When you combine this level of brand awareness with the opportunities presented in areas like online learning, we are certain the company can become a major international player in the educational marketplace. I am delighted to be joining The Princeton Review board of directors along with my colleague, Jeff Crisan. We believe we can bring valuable support and experience to the plans John and Michael have formulated to move the company forward."
"We first became investors in The Princeton Review almost three years ago, and we have closely monitored the company's progress since that time," said Kevin Richardson, Managing Partner, Prides Capital. "In recent months we became convinced that, by strengthening the company's balance sheet and by making a few key additions to the management team and board, the company could begin unlocking the full potential that we believed existed when we first became investors. We are extremely pleased to become strategic partners with the company at this important time, and we believe that John's vision, coupled with Michael's focus, will lead to long term increases in the value of this enterprise."
Stephen Cootey, from Prides Capital, will also join The Princeton Review board as an observer.
"I am enormously excited about working with John Katzman," Perik said. "We have worked together on various ventures in the K-12 marketplace over the years. I have always been struck by his absolute commitment to quality in all of the services and products he provides. I am also pleased to be able to work again with Bain Capital. First at The Learning Company, then at Houghton Mifflin, and now at The Princeton Review, I have been impressed by the firm's ability to identify market leaders and its skill at building lasting value for all the stakeholders."
As an inducement to hiring Mr. Perik as CEO, the company granted him a stock option to purchase 1.7 million shares of the company's common stock having an exercise price of $4.69 per share, the fair market value of the company's common stock on the date preceding the grant. The option vests quarterly over the next four years beginning on October 31, 2007 and expires ten years from the date of grant.
J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. acted as the exclusive placement agent in this offering. Ropes and Gray represented Bain Capital Ventures, Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP represented Prides Capital and Mintz Levin represented The Princeton Review.

"It is the ultimate media centerpiece for the living room with the broadest selection of broadband content, right alongside your favorite broadcast and cable programs, giving HDTV viewers more choice and control than they've ever had before.

allows viewers to seamlessly link from descriptions of one program to
all others that have common elements, including program name, actors,
or suggestions based on other viewers' feedback.
* TiVoCast - TiVoCast delivers original video programming directly to
your TiVo box over your broadband Internet connection from a variety
of media brands and producers, including the New York Times, CNET,
iVillage, The Onion, and many others. The content appears in your Now
Playing List, alongside regular broadcast programming as well as your
Amazon Unbox rentals and purchases and even Home Movies. It's all
seamlessly integrated into the entire TiVo experience.
* Home Movie Sharing - Instead of burning your home movies to DVD and
mailing them to friends and family, now you can share them through a
private TiVo channel of your own. Simply upload your video footage or
photographs to One True Media (www.OneTrueMedia.com), get a channel
code, and send the code out to your audience. Your home videos will
show up right in the Now Playing list on their TiVo boxes, so they can
enjoy them on their own TV. No need to huddle around a computer screen
anymore, home movie sharing delivers those precious moments directly
to the TV.
* Online Services - With your TiVo box connected to your broadband home
network, you can access a variety of online services right on your TV,
including Yahoo! Traffic and Weather, Fandango movie tickets, live
radio, podcasts, games and more.
* TiVo KidZone - Only TiVo-branded DVRs give you total control over what
your kids see on TV. With TiVo KidZone, you get to choose which shows
your children can watch and record. It also helps you discover great
new shows for them through recommendations from leading national
children's organizations. TiVo KidZone provides a customized Now
Playing List for your children that displays only the shows you pre-
approve, keeping their shows separate from your own shows. TiVo
KidZone relies on your own personal settings and password to ensure
your kids only see what you want them to see, keeping TV as safe as
possible.

SAN JOSE, Calif., July 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Brocade(R) (Nasdaq: BRCD), the leader in networked storage solutions that help enterprises connect and manage their information, today announced that it has bolstered its Storage Area Network (SAN) management solutions with greater analytic and reporting capabilities in the Brocade SAN Health(TM) family of utilities, including full support for mainframe FICON(R) and McDATA SAN environments. Supporting more than 13,000 users to date, Brocade SAN Health Diagnostics Capture and Brocade SAN Health Professional are designed to improve operational efficiencies in both open systems and mainframe data center environments.
The enhanced Brocade SAN Health tools, downloadable at no charge, offer more comprehensive, holistic views of storage networks by discovering and inventorying devices, switches, and firmware. The new tools support increased data center productivity by automating topology mapping, which helps eliminate the time, costs, and errors when this work is performed manually. FICON administrators, for example, now can easily and quickly track even the most intricate mainframe infrastructures, including data paths to switches and storage assets, to document configurations and simplify change management.
"As the state agency that stores California's tax data, we rely on the Brocade SAN Health solution for all reporting services in our SAN environment," said Ramon Carpenter, Software Systems Specialist, California Tax Franchise Board. "It is easy to use and provides the detail and clarity we need to operate our infrastructure efficiently."
Powerful Resources for Today's Data Centers
Utilizing Brocade SAN Health Diagnostics Capture and SAN Health Professional, administrators gain more insight into their SAN operations through the capture and graphing of historical performance statistics, detailed topology diagrams, and best-practice configuration recommendations -- enabling them to make more informed evaluations of networking strategies. Additionally, administrators can take advantage of improved reporting capabilities to analyze their networks in finer detail, helping to ensure higher performance and reliability.
In addition to these free tools, administrators can utilize Brocade SAN Health Professional Change Analysis, an optional fee-based module with sophisticated change analysis capabilities and Brocade SAN Health Expert, a subscription-based Brocade Services offering featuring detailed analysis and quarterly consultations with Brocade consultants.
"By enabling customers to extract more data from their storage architectures, Brocade is helping them to maximize performance and resiliency, and better manage their assets," said Tom Buiocchi, Brocade Vice President of Worldwide Marketing. "The enhanced SAN Health utilities augment the Brocade suite of management applications -- including Enterprise Fabric Connectivity Manager, Fabric Manager, and our comprehensive portfolio of SAN and mainframe services -- helping customers meet their business objectives, SLAs, and regulatory mandates easily and economically."

EGHT 1.44 8x8, Inc. Announces Internet Availability of 2007 Proxy Materials Per New SEC 'Notice and Access' Model
Jul 24, 2007 8:15:00 AM
SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- 8x8, Inc. (Nasdaq: EGHT), provider of Packet8 (www.packet8.net) residential, business and video Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone services, today announced the online availability of its 2007 Proxy Statement in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) December 13, 2006 decision allowing companies to furnish proxy materials to shareholders through a "Notice and Access" model using the Internet.
The "Notice and Access Rule" removes the requirement for public companies to automatically send shareholders a full, hard-copy set of annual meeting and proxy materials and allows them to instead to deliver to their shareholders a "Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials" and to provide online access to the documents. 8x8 mailed a "Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials" on July 18, 2007 to all beneficial owners entitled to vote at the 2007 Annual Shareholder Meeting to be held on August 28, 2007 at the Company's corporate headquarters in Santa Clara, California.
"8x8 is pleased to be one of the first publicly traded companies to take advantage of this new SEC initiative," said 8x8 CFO Dan Weirich. "In addition to substantially decreasing the printing and postage costs previously incurred by producing and mailing these hard copy materials, this amendment benefits the environment by helping to preserve the nation's forests and reducing the fuel consumed in transporting the proxy materials to the post office and delivering them to shareholders. Our decision to utilize the "Notice and Access" method of delivery saved approximately 38 trees. We applaud the SEC's vision to leverage the Internet to more efficiently deliver proxy materials to investors."
According to American Forests (americanforests.org), the nation's oldest nonprofit citizens' conservation organization, for the 300 million or so packages each year that are currently mailed, the "Notice and Access" model could save 800,000 trees from being cut to produce the paper involved in the mailings, trees which would remove some 267,000 tons of greenhouse gas from the atmosphere annually if left to grow. Over just 5 years, this initiative would save more than 4 million trees from being cut.
8x8's 2007 Proxy Statement, Annual Report and other financial documents are available free of charge at the Securities and Exchange Commission website, www.sec.gov, and at the Investor Relations section of its corporate website, www.8x8.com.
