Interland Retains Investment Bank Mirus Securities to Advise on Strategic Options

After several acquisitions and a successful IPO, Interland found itself struggling to maintain market share amid an economic downturn. Options for the Company included a sale of assets to raise capital and pay down debt, financial restructuring, a take-private, or an outright sale of the business.

Mirus Securities was retained by a special committee of the Board of Directors to advise the board on these various alternatives and make recommendations. Ultimately, the board elected to retain Mirus to sell off two non-core assets (HostCentric, sold to Caird; and the Dedicated Hosting Business, sold to Peer 1) with the proceeds used to pay down debt. Interland was subsequently acquired by Web.com for a significant premium.
