RetailMeNot to Be Acquired by Harland Clarke Holdings for $11.60 per share in Cash

Transaction Dramatically Expands HCH and Valassis' Digital Scale, Advances RetailMeNot's Goal in Becoming a Leading Savings Destination

SAN ANTONIO and AUSTIN, Texas, April 10, 2017 /- Harland Clarke Holdings Corp. ("HCH"), a provider of best-in-class integrated payment solutions and marketing services, today announced it has reached a definitive agreement to acquire RetailMeNot, Inc. (NASDAQ:SALE), a leading savings destination connecting consumers with retailers, restaurants and brands, both online and in-store. Under the agreement, Harland Clarke Holdings, a wholly owned subsidiary of MacAndrews & Forbes Incorporated and owner of Valassis, a leader in intelligent media delivery, providing unparalleled consumer targeting insights on a large scale, will acquire all of the outstanding shares of RetailMeNot Series 1 common stock for $11.60 per share in cash.

By bringing together Valassis' unmatched quantity of genuine valuable offers from its large, diversified client base with RetailMeNot's premier digital audience distribution and brand, the companies' combined offerings will become the consumer savings destination of choice. This transaction significantly advances RetailMeNot's goal of becoming a leading savings destination, and is a natural step forward in the growth trajectory of the company.

The combined companies will create an omni-channel media network with tens of thousands of advertisers reaching hundreds of millions of consumers around the world.

The purchase price represents a premium of approximately 50% over the closing share price of RetailMeNot's common stock on April 7, 2017 and a premium of approximately 36% over the average closing share price for the 60 calendar days ended April 7, 2017. The transaction, which has been unanimously approved by RetailMeNot's Board of Directors, has an equity value of approximately $630 million.

"RetailMeNot provides a new global digital channel to distribute our clients' offers that perfectly complements Valassis' current digital, mobile, mail and other print networks. RetailMeNot's capabilities span multiple platforms and channels including web, mobile and app, delivering online coupons and sales, discounted gift cards, and cash back offers, along with food, dining and travel offers. The addition of RetailMeNot brings Valassis' clients a new, vast and active consumer base explicitly seeking deals, offers and savings. We are thrilled that we will be working with RetailMeNot's outstanding Austin based team and look forward to continuing to grow our business together," said Victor Nichols, CEO of HCH.

"This is an exciting and important milestone for RetailMeNot," said Cotter Cunningham, CEO & founder, RetailMeNot. "Not only are we delivering an immediate and significant cash premium to our stockholders, but we are also meaningfully advancing our goal of becoming a leading savings destination for consumers. This acquisition is a testament to the unwavering commitment and hard work of our 500 plus dedicated employees. Having founded RetailMeNot over seven years ago, I firmly believe that Valassis not only shares our commitment to consumers and merchant partners, but supports continued innovation in driving new solutions for retailers and brands. I am confident in the future of RetailMeNot in its partnership with Valassis and look forward to working closely with the combined team to ensure together we become the premier savings destination."

The transaction will be effected through a tender offer by a wholly-owned subsidiary of HCH for all of the outstanding shares of Series 1 common stock of RetailMeNot. Following the successful completion of the tender offer, HCH will acquire all remaining shares not tendered in the tender offer through a second-step merger at the same price per share. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of certain regulatory approvals and receipt of a majority of RetailMeNot's issued and outstanding shares of Series 1 common stock in the tender offer. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2017. Upon completion of the transaction, RetailMeNot will become a privately held company and RetailMeNot's Series 1 common shares will no longer be listed on any public market. In light of the transition, RetailMeNot will not provide earnings guidance going forward.
