Quad/Graphics to Acquire Vertis; Facilitated by Vertis’ Chapter 11 Filing

Vertis and Quad/Graphics anticipate the sale will be approved by the bankruptcy court during the fourth quarter of 2012 and will most likely close in the first quarter of 2013, pending the receipt of customary regulatory approvals. Vertis expects to operate its business as usual until the sale closes and, subject to the bankruptcy court’s approval, has obtained $150 million in debtor-in-possession financing from a group of lenders led by GE Capital, Restructuring Finance to ensure it is able to meet its financial obligations throughout the Chapter 11 cases.
