Independent Board Chairman To Be Appointed
Newly Elected Directors To Serve For One-Year Terms
DG® (NASDAQ: DGIT), the leading global independent ad management and distribution platform, today announced that its Board of Directors has set October 15, 2013 as the date for its 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders for stockholders of record on August 30, 2013.
Separately, the DG Board announced steps to improve the corporate governance profile of the Company.
The Board has amended a provision in the DG Corporate Governance Guidelines to provide that the Chairman will qualify as an independent, non-executive Director under the rules and regulations of the NASDAQ Global Market® and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Following the 2013 Annual Meeting, DG-s Board of Directors will be led by an independent Chairman.
In addition, the Board amended the DG Bylaws to provide that directors to be elected at the 2013 Annual Meeting will be elected for one-year terms. Directors not up for re-election at the 2013 Annual Meeting will serve out their remaining terms, while all directors to be elected at future meetings will be elected for one-year terms.
“The adoption of these reforms will better align the Company-s governance profile with the interests of our shareholders,” stated Scott Ginsburg, Chairman of the DG Board.
