The committee, management, and its advisors are charged with the evaluation of the company's business plan and the consideration of a full range of strategic options, including acquisitions, alliances with strategic partners, resale arrangements, business combinations, and the sale of all or a portion of the company's assets. The company has retained Merrill Lynch to assist in this process. Amos Michelson, Creo chief executive officer, stated, "Our board and the management remain confident that given the strategic direction we have established and the initiatives we announced on October 6, we will provide increasing earnings. Nevertheless, Creo's board and management are evaluating all alternatives for maximizing shareholder value. Any action pursued by the company will be in the best interests of all shareholders." The company notes there can be no assurance that its review will result in any change in its business strategy or in the consummation of any agreement or transaction. --- See a free exclusive report by WhatTheyThink.com's Senior Editor on Creo's recent announcements including more about the press release below. http://members.whattheythink.com/home/ge041018.cfm
