Morgan and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey acted as joint lead arrangers and joint book runners for the $465 million debt facility. Spectrum Equity, which invested $51 million in Extreme Reach in May 2013, invested an additional $35 million. All other Extreme Reach investors also participated in the financing: Village Ventures, Greycroft Partners and Long River Ventures.

DG was a leading provider of distribution solutions for television advertising. Its offices and personnel will be immediately integrated into Extreme Reach. All DG TV customers and assets will be transitioned onto the Extreme Reach cloud platform.
