Volt Information Sciences Announces Review of Strategic Alternatives

Volt Information Sciences, Inc. (“Volt” or “the Company”) (NYSE-AMERICAN: VISI) announces today that the Company is fully engaged in a process to evaluate potential strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value. Such strategic alternatives could include a sale of the Company or a sale of a division or divisions thereof, a strategic merger, a business combination or continuing as a standalone company executing on its business plan. The Company has engaged Houlihan Lokey Capital, Inc. as financial advisor and Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP as legal advisor to assist in its review.

Dana Messina, Chairman of the Board, said, "We remain confident in our ability to execute on our business plan and in the growth opportunities available to us. At the same time, the Board believes it is in the best interest of shareholders to conduct a thorough evaluation of strategic opportunities that could accelerate value recognition or unlock additional value."

The Board and the Company have not set a definitive timetable for completion of their review of strategic alternatives, nor has any decision related to any particular strategic alternative been made, and there can be no assurance that the process will result in any transaction being announced or completed in the future. The Company does not intend to make any further announcements related to its review unless and until its Board of Directors has approved a specific transaction or otherwise determined that further disclosure is appropriate. As always, the Company will continue to dedicate its resources to generating business, delivering superior customer service and supporting the development of our employees.
