/PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights attorneys at Robbins Arroyo
LLP remind investors of the July 1,
2013 deadline to file for lead plaintiff in the class action
lawsuit filed on behalf of purchasers of Digital Generation, Inc.
(NASDAQ: DGIT) between June 20, 2011
and February 19, 2013 (the "Class

The complaint alleges that during the Class Period, Digital
Generation failed to disclose that: (i) the company's online
segment performance was significantly below the value reported to
investors; (ii) prior acquisitions had disguised the company's
declining revenue base; (iii) in order to appear to be an
attractive acquisition target, the company had vastly overpaid for
its acquisition of online segments, including Media Mind, Inc.
("Media Mind"); (iv) the company was not adequately poised for a
strategic partnership or buyout; and (v) as a result, the company's
financial statements were materially false and misleading during
the Class Period.
On November 8, 2012, Digital
Generation announced that for the quarter ending September 30, 2012, the company would take
impairment charges of: (i) over $208
million against recently acquired online media assets,
including Media Mind, representing a 33% write down of the purchase
price and; (ii) $131 million for its
television unit.
Shortly thereafter, on February 19,
2013, Digital Generation announced: (i) an additional write
down of online segments of $11.4
million; and (ii) that a Special Committee of the board of
directors had failed to attract a buyout partner or strategic
alternative. On this news, Digital Generation's stock price
dropped more than 28%, or $2.53 per
share, to close at $6.45 per share on
February 19, 2013.
