The Transaction is in the Public Interest

        The proposed transfer of control will serve the public interest. The acquisition of Digital
Generation by Extreme Reach will enhance and complement Extreme Reach’s suite of
capabilities on its video platform, resulting in more efficient provision of Extreme Reach’s
services. Digital Generation uses the earth station facilities at issue in connection with this
business to provide expanded capacity to its distribution network and to serve as back up for
other video distribution paths. 1 Grant of this application would allow the continued use of the
earth station facilities after the close of the transaction to distribute programming and
advertisements to broadcast stations at the high level of quality and reliability to which its
customers are accustomed. Therefore, the public interest would be served by facilitating the
provision of video delivery service to customers, which in turn would ensure the continued
availability of the broadcast and media services provided by those customers to the public.

       The proposed transaction has cleared antitrust review by the Federal Trade Commission.
The Parties intend to complete the transaction upon the approval of the transaction by the
shareholders of Digital Generation and the satisfaction or waiver of other closing conditions,
which are expected to occur during the first quarter of 2014. Therefore, the Parties respectfully
request prompt consideration and grant of this application.
