CafePress Announces Definitive Agreement to Sell Groups Business to Digital Fuel Capital, LLC

LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

CafePress Inc. PRSS, the on-demand printing leader, today announced that it has reached a definitive agreement to divest its Groups business. This follows the plans announced last week to divest its Art business. Both divestitures are the results of the Company's strategic evaluations process designed to streamline operations and allow management to focus on growing the core business, CafePress.com.

Under the terms of the agreement, CafePress would sell its Groups business to privately held Digital Fuel Capital, LLC, for approximately $10.3 million in cash, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. Although no assurances as to timing can be made, the transaction is expected to close during the first quarter of 2015, and is subject to certain closing conditions. The Groups business represented slightly less than 10% of CafePress's total revenues in the fourth quarter and for the full year of 2014.

"We believe that by divesting our Groups business, in addition to our Art business, CafePress will not only be leaner and more focused but will have the enhanced capital structure necessary to stabilize, optimize and energize the business. We are dedicated to increasing stockholder value and we believe that these moves put us on the right path," said CEO Fred Durham.

The Company expects to receive, in aggregate, approximately $41.8 million in cash for the divestitures of the Art and Groups businesses, subject to certain adjustments and closing conditions.

Management will review and discuss the recent transactions along with the Company's fourth quarter and fiscal year 2014 financial results during its previously announced conference call on Wednesday, February 25, 2015 at 5:00 p.m. ET (2:00 p.m. PT). Additional details on the transaction may be found in the Company's Form 8-K filed with this press release.
