SUPPLEMENT, DATED SEPTEMBER 9, 2008
(To Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, Dated August 18, 2008)
Dear Enliven Stockholder:
On or about August 21, 2008, a definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus was mailed to stockholders of DG FastChannel, Inc., or DG FastChannel, and stockholders of Enliven Marketing Technologies Corporation, or Enliven, relating to the special meetings of stockholders of DG FastChannel and Enliven scheduled for September 24, 2008 to consider and obtain approval for certain matters related to a merger agreement that provides for the merger of DG Acquisition Corp. VI., a wholly owned subsidiary of DG FastChannel, with and into Enliven. Following the merger, Enliven will continue as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of DG FastChannel. In the merger, the holders of Enliven common stock will receive shares of DG FastChannel common stock in the amounts described in the accompanying supplement and the holders of DG FastChannel common stock will continue to hold their shares.
On September 4, 2008, the parties amended the terms of the merger agreement to (i) decrease the exchange ratio in connection with the merger from 0.051 to 0.033 shares of DG FastChannel common stock for each share of Enliven common stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger; (ii) decrease the number of Enliven directors that will be elected to the DG FastChannel board of directors upon completion of the merger from two to one; and (iii) increase the amount of expenses that DG FastChannel may be required to reimburse Enliven in the event that the merger does not occur from up to $300,000 to up to $1,500,000.
The Enliven board of directors agreed to this amendment and reduction of the exchange ratio due to, among other reasons, concerns that the issuance of shares of DG FastChannel common stock in the merger would not receive the requisite approval of DG FastChannel stockholders under the rules of the Nasdaq Global Market. The attached supplement to the definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus describes in greater detail the Enliven board's reasons for approving the amendment and recommending adoption of the merger agreement, as amended, to Enliven stockholders.
In addition, because the number of shares of DG FastChannel common stock to be issued in connection with the merger is less than 20% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance, a vote of the DG FastChannel stockholders is not required under the rules of the Nasdaq Global Market to approve the issuance of DG FastChannel shares in connection with the merger. As a result, DG FastChannel will not hold a special meeting of its stockholders to approve the issuance of DG FastChannel common stock in connection with the merger, and the merger agreement has been amended to remove as a condition precedent to the merger approval by the DG FastChannel stockholders of the issuance of DG FastChannel common stock in the merger. A copy of the amendment to the merger agreement is attached as Annex A to this supplement.
Based on the number of shares of common stock of DG FastChannel and Enliven outstanding on September 4, 2008, the last trading day prior to the public announcement of the revised terms of the merger, immediately after the completion of the merger, the holders of DG FastChannel common stock immediately prior to the merger will own approximately 86% of the combined company and the holders of Enliven common stock immediately prior to the merger will own approximately 14% of the combined company.
The Enliven board of directors has determined that the terms of the amended merger agreement, and the merger, are advisable, fair to and in the best interests of the stockholders of Enliven and recommended that stockholders of Enliven approve the merger and adopt the amended merger agreement.
We urge you to read this document and, if you have not done so already, to read the joint proxy statement/prospectus, dated August 18, 2008, which, except as revised or supplemented by this document, remains in full force and effect. We encourage you to read the joint proxy statement/prospectus, as revised and supplemented by this document, and to carefully consider the risk factors beginning on page 21 of the joint proxy statement/prospectus before voting.
Your vote is very important. Whether or not you plan to attend the Enliven special meeting of stockholders, please take the time to vote by following the instructions on the enclosed PROXY CARD. If you previously submitted a proxy for the meeting on September 24, 2008, you do not need to complete and submit the enclosed PROXY CARD unless you desire to revoke your previous vote. If you previously submitted a proxy for the meeting on September 24, 2008, and you wish to change your vote, you may do so by following the instructions in the attached supplement to the definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus or on the enclosed PROXY CARD.
The place, date and time of the Enliven stockholders meeting is as follows:
New
York's Hotel Pennsylvania
401 Seventh Avenue
New York, New York
September 24, 2008
11:00 a.m., local time

Sincerely, | ||
Patrick Vogt | ||
President and Chief Executive Officer Enliven Marketing Technologies Corporation |

Update to Questions and Answers About the Merger
S-1
The Enliven special meeting will be held at New York's Hotel Pennsylvania, 401 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York on September 24, 2008 at 11:00 a.m., local time. All holders of Enliven common stock at the close of business on August 7, 2008, the record date for the Enliven special meeting, are invited to attend the special meeting.
At the special meeting, the Enliven stockholders will be asked to consider and vote upon a proposal (i) to adopt the amended merger agreement, and approve the merger as contemplated by the amended merger agreement, and (ii) to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to adopt the amended merger agreement and approve the merger.
Although proposal number 1 on the PROXY CARD refers to the merger agreement, all such references to the merger agreement shall be treated as references to the amended merger agreement for the purpose of your vote at the special meeting.
You
may, however, change your vote at any time before your PROXY CARD is voted at the special meeting. If you are the record holder of your shares you can do this in one of three
ways:
If you hold shares in "street name," you should contact your broker or bank to give it instructions to change your vote.
If you choose to send a written notice or to mail a new PROXY CARD, you must submit your notice of revocation or new PROXY CARD in the enclosed postage-prepaid envelope.
S-2
This supplement contains "forward-looking statements." These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and are based on the beliefs and assumptions of management of DG FastChannel and/or Enliven, whose assumptions are based on information currently available to each company's management. When we use words such as "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "estimates," "should," "likely," "potential" "projected" or similar expressions, we are making forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. The actual results of the combined company after the merger may differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Many of the factors that will determine these results and values are beyond the ability of DG FastChannel or Enliven to control or predict. Stockholders are cautioned not to put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.
For a discussion of some of the factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements, please read carefully the information under "RISK FACTORS" beginning on page 21 of the joint proxy statement/prospectus.
The list of factors discussed under "RISK FACTORS" that may affect future performance and the accuracy of forward-looking statements is illustrative, but by no means exhaustive. Accordingly, all forward-looking statements should be evaluated with the understanding of their inherent uncertainty.

UPDATE TO THE COMBINED COMPANY UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Under the terms of the amended merger agreement, the holders of Enliven common stock will receive 0.033 of a share of DG FastChannel common stock for each share of Enliven common stock, and as a result, after the merger, holders of Enliven common stock immediately prior to the merger (other than DG FastChannel and its affiliates) will own approximately 14% of the combined company and the holders of DG FastChannel common stock immediately prior to the merger will collectively own approximately 86% of the combined company.
DG FastChannel will be the parent of Enliven, and will be the surviving registrant following the merger. On the date of the merger, the assets and liabilities of Enliven will be recorded at their estimated fair values.
The combined company unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements give effect to the merger as if the transaction had occurred on June 30, 2008 for purposes of the combined company unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet, and on January 1, 2007 for purposes of the combined company unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2007, and the six months ended June 30, 2008.
The combined company unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet and statements of income do not purport to represent what the financial position or results of operations actually would have been if the merger had occurred as of such dates, or what such results will be for any future periods.
The combined company unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are derived from the historical financial statements of DG FastChannel and Enliven and the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes. The pro forma adjustments are based on preliminary estimates and assumptions that DG FastChannel believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Transactions between DG FastChannel and Enliven were not material for all periods presented. The preliminary allocation of the estimated purchase price to the assets and liabilities of Enliven reflects the assumption that assets and liabilities are carried at historical amounts which approximate fair values except for certain purchased intangible assets which have been included at their estimated fair values. A thorough valuation of the purchased intangibles has not been performed. The value of the purchased intangibles included in the combined company unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are based on estimates. DG FastChannel determined these estimates by applying a ratio of intangibles-to-purchase price, based on other recently completed acquisitions. The actual allocation of the purchase price may differ materially from that reflected in the combined company unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements after a more extensive review of the fair value of the assets and liabilities is completed. The combined company unaudited pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto of DG FastChannel and Enliven incorporated herein by reference in the joint proxy statement/prospectus. The combined company unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any cost savings, restructuring charges or other economic efficiencies nor debt refinancing which may result from the merger.

Update to Background of the Merger
On or about August 21, 2008, the joint proxy statement/prospectus was mailed to stockholders of DG FastChannel and to stockholders of Enliven. On that same day, Costa Brava Partnership III L.P., a 5% stockholder of DG FastChannel, publicly announced its intention to vote against the merger at the special meeting of DG FastChannel stockholders to be held to vote on the issuance of DG FastChannel common stock to Enliven stockholders in the merger.
On August 22, 2008, the Enliven board of directors held a telephonic meeting, with its legal and financial advisors and members of senior management in attendance, to discuss the Costa Brava press release and potential alternatives in light of concerns that the issuance of shares of DG FastChannel common stock to Enliven stockholders in the merger would not receive the requisite approval of DG FastChannel stockholders under the rules of the Nasdaq Global Market. Mr. Vogt also noted that Mr. Choucair had called him the previous night to discuss a potential revision of the exchange offer payable in the merger from .051 to .031 of a share of DG FastChannel common stock for each outstanding share of Enliven common stock. Mr. Choucair also suggested that, if the exchange ratio was so reduced, the number of directors that Enliven would be entitled to appoint to the DG FastChannel board of directors would be reduced from two to zero and DG would pay Enliven a $1 million termination fee if DG FastChannel stockholders did not approve the revised transaction.
Immediately following this meeting, Messrs. Ginsburg and Choucair met telephonically with the Enliven board of directors. Mr. Ginsburg updated the Enliven board of directors on discussions that he and Mr. Choucair recently had with various DG FastChannel stockholders. Additionally, Mr. Ginsburg discussed DG FastChannel's continued diligence of Enliven's revenue forecast for 2008.
The Enliven board of directors met again on August 27, 2008 to continue its discussion of concerns as to the ability of DG FastChannel to receive the vote of its stockholders, to discuss a recent Form 8-K filing by DG FastChannel and to receive an update from management as to Enliven's business and current forecast. On that same day and on August 28, 2008, Mr. Ginsburg called Mr. Vogt to provide an update regarding DG FastChannel's stockholder meetings held on these dates. Mr. Ginsburg noted that certain stockholders had addressed concerns over the pending merger and indicated that they would be voting against the transaction.
On August 29, 2008, Messrs. Choucair and Vogt discussed a potential amendment to the merger agreement which would include a reduction in the exchange ratio from 0.051 to 0.033, a decrease in the number of DG FastChannel board positions to be filled by Enliven designees from two to one, and the amount of Enliven expenses that DG FastChannel would be willing to reimburse in the event the DG FastChannel stockholders did not vote in favor of the issuance of DG FastChannel common stock in connection with the merger. Messrs. Choucair and Vogt agreed to update their respective boards of directors regarding their conversation and to raise the possibility of an amendment of the merger agreement for consideration by their respective boards of directors.
On September 2, 2008, the members of the DG FastChannel board of directors met telephonically with representatives of Latham who participated in the board meeting at the invitation of Mr. Ginsburg. Mr. Ginsburg provided the board an update of the investor reaction to the pending merger between DG FastChannel and Enliven. Messrs. Ginsburg and Choucair then provided an update of a potential amendment to the merger agreement which would revise the terms of the exchange ratio, the number of board positions to be filled by Enliven designees and Enliven expense reimbursement by DG FastChannel as described above.
On that same day, the Enliven board of directors met telephonically to discuss the terms of the amended merger proposed by Mr. Choucair to Mr. Vogt. Representatives of Milbank, who participated in the board meeting along with representatives of Enliven's financial advisor and members of senior
S-10
management, described the terms of a draft amendment no. 1 to the merger agreement which they had received from Latham earlier that day. The Milbank representatives also discussed the directors' fiduciary duties in considering the proposed amendment to the terms of the merger, Enliven's alternatives to negotiating the proposed amendment and potential further revisions to the merger agreement that the Enliven board of directors could consider if it were willing to negotiate a lower exchange ratio, including elimination of the condition to consummation of the merger that DG FastChannel stockholders approve the transaction since such a vote would no longer be required under the rules of the Nasdaq Global Market. Next, representatives of Needham updated the board and management on Needham's updated analysis of the proposed reduced exchange ratio. The members of the board then discussed the proposed revision of the exchange ratio, their continued concerns as to DG FastChannel's ability to obtain stockholder approval of the pending transaction, the payment of a termination fee and the Needham analysis, and directed senior management and the Milbank representatives to continue to negotiate the terms of the proposed amendment to the merger agreement and to obtain further corroboration of the DG FastChannel stockholder reaction to the pending merger.
During the remainder of that day and continuing on September 3, 2008, representatives of both DG FastChannel and Enliven and representatives from Latham and Milbank negotiated the terms of a potential amendment to the merger agreement.
On the afternoon of September 4, 2008, DG FastChannel's board of directors met telephonically with a representative of Latham, who participated in the board meeting at the invitation of Mr. Ginsburg. Mr. Ginsburg provided the board of directors with an update of DG FastChannel's interactions with Enliven since the prior DG FastChannel board meeting. Mr. Choucair then discussed the terms of the proposed amendment to the merger agreement, including the fact that because the number of shares of DG FastChannel common stock to be issued in connection with the merger would be less than 20% of the number of shares of DG FastChannel common stock outstanding immediately prior to such issuance, a vote of the DG FastChannel stockholders would not be required. The Latham representative also discussed the DG FastChannel board of directors' fiduciary duties under Delaware law in connection with approval of the proposed amendment to the merger agreement. After a discussion and review of the proposed terms, the members of the DG FastChannel board of directors present at the meeting, acting unanimously, considered and voted to approve the amendment to the merger agreement as DG FastChannel's board of directors deemed it advisable, fair to and in the best interests of DG FastChannel and its stockholders to effect the merger on the terms contemplated by the amendment to the merger agreement.
Also on the afternoon of September 4, 2008, the Enliven board of directors met telephonically, with representatives of Milbank and Needham and senior management in attendance, to receive an update on the negotiations of the proposed amendment to the merger agreement. First, the Milbank representatives reviewed the matters discussed at the September 2nd meeting of the Enliven board and reported that the terms of amendment no. 1 to the merger agreement had been successfully negotiated. Among other items, the Milbank representatives discussed the elimination of the condition that DG FastChannel stockholder approval be obtained, the addition of exclusions to the definition of "Company Material Adverse Effect" relating to changes in Enliven's cash position since the signing of the original merger agreement and Enliven's failure to meet projections prepared by either Enliven's or DG FastChannel's management and DG FastChannel's agreement to reimburse expenses of up to $1,500,000 in the event that the merger was not consummated by October 6, 2008 (subject to extension under certain circumstances) unless such failure was due to a failure to obtain the requisite vote of Enliven stockholders or a breach of the amended merger agreement by Enliven. The Milbank representatives noted that these changes would contribute significantly to deal certainty if the Enliven board were to approve the reduced exchange ratio. Following the Milbank presentation, members of
S-11
senior management updated the Enliven directors on the status of DG FastChannel stockholder reaction to the pending merger terms.
Next, the Needham representatives presented their financial analysis of the reduced exchange ratio and delivered Needham's oral opinion (which was subsequently confirmed in writing by delivery of Needham's written opinion dated the same date) that, as of such date, and based upon the assumptions made, matters considered and limitations of the review described in the opinion, the exchange ratio of 0.033 of a share of DG FastChannel common stock for each outstanding share of Enliven common stock pursuant to the amended merger agreement was fair to the holders of Enliven common stock (other than DG FastChannel and its affiliates, as to which Needham expressed no opinion) from a financial point of view. The full text of the written opinion of Needham, which sets forth, among other things, the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered and limitation on the review undertaken in connection with such opinion is set forth as Exhibit B to this supplement. Following further deliberations, the members of the Enliven board of directors, by a unanimous vote (i) approved the amended merger agreement and amendment no. 1 thereto and deemed the amended merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger, advisable, fair to and in the best interests of the stockholders of Enliven and (ii) recommended that stockholders of Enliven approve the merger and adopt the amended merger agreement.
On the evening of September 4, 2008, DG FastChannel and Enliven entered into amendment no. 1 to the merger agreement and issued a joint press release announcing the amendment of the merger agreement prior to the open of the U.S. financial markets on September 5, 2008.
Update to Recommendation of the Board of Directors of Enliven; Enliven's Reasons for the Merger
In a meeting on September 4, 2008, the Enliven board of directors unanimously declared that the amended merger agreement and the merger, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the amended merger agreement are advisable, fair to and in the best interests of Enliven and its stockholders. The Enliven board of directors has unanimously declared that the amended merger agreement and the merger are advisable and recommends that Enliven's stockholders vote "FOR" the adoption of the amended merger agreement and approval of the merger at the special meeting of stockholders.
In
reaching its determination to approve the amended merger agreement and recommend that Enliven's stockholders adopt the amended merger agreement and approve the merger, the Enliven
board of directors considered numerous factors discussed with Enliven's outside legal and financial advisors and senior management, including the following factors, each of which the Enliven board of
directors believed supported its determinations:
S-12
growth and expected synergies of the combined company while retaining the flexibility of selling all or a portion of those shares;
S-13
one director, Enliven's representation will remain proportionate to the percentage of shares of common stock of the combined company that current Enliven stockholders will receive in the merger.
The
Enliven board of directors also identified and considered a number of uncertainties, risks and other potentially negative factors, including the
following:
The foregoing discussion of the factors considered by the Enliven board of directors is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather includes the material factors considered by the Enliven board of directors in its consideration of the amended merger agreement thereto, and the merger. After considering these factors, the Enliven board of directors unanimously concluded that the positive factors relating to the amended merger agreement, and the merger outweighed the negative factors. In view of the wide variety of factors considered by the Enliven board of directors, and the complexity of these matters, the Enliven board of directors did not find it practicable to, and did not, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the foregoing factors. In addition, individual members of the Enliven board of directors may have assigned different weights to various factors. The Enliven board of directors unanimously approved and recommends the amended merger agreement and the merger based upon the totality of the information presented to and considered by it.
Fairness Opinion of Financial Advisor to Enliven
Enliven retained Needham to act as its financial advisor in connection with the proposed merger and to render an opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the exchange ratio pursuant to the amended merger agreement to the holders of Enliven common stock (other than the shares of Enliven common stock held by DG FastChannel and its affiliates, as to which Needham expressed no opinion). The exchange ratio was determined through arm's length negotiations between Enliven and DG FastChannel and not by Needham.
On September 4, 2008, Needham delivered to the Enliven board of directors its written opinion that, as of that date and based upon and subject to the assumptions and other matters described in the written opinion, the exchange ratio pursuant to the amended merger agreement was fair to the holders of Enliven common stock (other than the shares of Enliven common stock held by DG FastChannel
S-14
and its affiliates, as to which Needham expressed no opinion) from a financial point of view. Prior to its issuance, the Needham opinion was approved by Needham's internal fairness committee. The Needham opinion is addressed to the Enliven board of directors, is directed only to the financial terms of the amended merger agreement and does not constitute a recommendation to any Enliven stockholder as to how that stockholder should vote on, or take any other action relating to, the merger.
The complete text of the Needham opinion, which sets forth the assumptions made, matters considered, limitations on and scope of the review undertaken by Needham, is attached to this supplement as Annex B . The summary of the Needham opinion set forth in this supplement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Needham opinion. Enliven stockholders should read the Needham opinion carefully and in its entirety for a description of the procedures followed, the factors considered, and the assumptions made by Needham.
In arriving at its opinion, Needham, among other things: reviewed that certain agreement and plan of merger, dated as of May 7, 2008, by and among Enliven, DG FastChannel and the other parties set forth on the signature pages thereto; reviewed a September 3, 2008 draft of the proposed amendment to the merger agreement; reviewed certain publicly available information concerning Enliven and DG FastChannel, including communication by Enliven and DG FastChannel to their respective stockholders, and certain other relevant financial and operating data of Enliven and DG FastChannel furnished to Needham by Enliven and DG FastChannel; reviewed the historical stock prices and trading volumes of the common stock of Enliven and DG FastChannel; held discussions with members of management of Enliven and DG FastChannel concerning their current and future business prospects and joint prospects for the combined companies, including the potential cost savings and other synergies that may be achieved by the combined company; reviewed certain financial forecasts with respect to Enliven and DG FastChannel prepared by the respective managements of Enliven and DG FastChannel and held discussions with members of such management concerning those forecasts; reviewed certain research analyst projections with respect to Enliven and DG FastChannel; compared certain publicly available financial data of companies whose securities are traded in the public markets and that Needham deemed relevant to similar data for Enliven and DG FastChannel; reviewed the financial terms of certain other business combinations that Needham deemed generally relevant; and reviewed such other financial studies and analyses and considered such other matters as Needham deemed appropriate.
In connection with its review and in arriving at its opinion, Needham assumed and relied on the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other information reviewed by or discussed with it for purposes of rendering its opinion, and Needham neither attempted to verify independently nor assumed responsibility for verifying any of such information. In addition, Needham assumed that the merger will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and that the merger will be consummated upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the amended merger agreement without material alteration or waiver. Needham assumed that the financial forecasts for each company provided to Needham by the respective companies and the joint prospects of the combined companies were reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of Enliven and DG FastChannel, at the time of preparation, of the future operating and financial performance of Enliven and DG FastChannel and the combined companies. Needham relied upon the estimates of Enliven and DG FastChannel of the potential cost savings and other synergies, including the amount and timing thereof, that may be achieved as a result of the merger.
As described above, in preparing certain of its analysis, Needham relied upon a set of projections with respect to Enliven's future financial performance for the period 2008-2012 and upon a set of projections with respect to DG FastChannel's future financial performance for the period 2008-2009. These projections were provided by Enliven's and DG FastChannel's management teams, respectively. Needham noted that these projections were based on numerous variables and assumptions that are inherently uncertain and may be beyond the control of Enliven and DG FastChannel management,
S-15
including, without limitation, factors relating to general economic and competitive conditions, growth rates, market share and pricing. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from those set forth in the projections.
Needham did not assume any responsibility for or make or obtain any independent evaluation, appraisal or physical inspection of the assets or liabilities of Enliven or DG FastChannel. Needham's opinion states that it was based on economic, monetary and market conditions existing as of its date, and Needham did not assume any responsibility to update or revise its opinion based upon circumstances and events occurring after the date of that opinion. Needham expressed no opinion as to what the value of DG FastChannel common stock will be when issued to the stockholders of Enliven pursuant to the merger or the prices at which DG FastChannel common stock or Enliven common stock will actually trade at any time. In addition, Needham was not asked to consider, and the Needham opinion does not address, Enliven's underlying business decision to engage in the merger or the relative merits of the merger as compared to other business strategies that might be available to Enliven.
No limitations were imposed by Enliven on Needham with respect to the investigations made or procedures followed by Needham in rendering its opinion.
In preparing its opinion, Needham performed a variety of financial and comparative analyses. The following paragraphs summarize the material financial analyses performed by Needham in arriving at its opinion. The order of analyses described does not represent relative importance or weight given to those analyses by Needham. Some of the summaries of the financial analyses include information presented in tabular format. The tables are not intended to stand alone, and in order to more fully understand the financial analyses used by Needham, the tables must be read together with the full text of each summary. The following quantitative information, to the extent it is based on market data, is, except as otherwise indicated, based on market data as it existed on or prior to September 3, 2008, and is not necessarily indicative of current or future market conditions.
Pursuant to and as described more fully in the amended merger agreement, each issued and outstanding share of Enliven common stock will be converted into the right to receive 0.033 shares of DG FastChannel common stock. Based on the closing price of DG FastChannel common stock on September 3, 2008, this value was $0.78 per share.
Average Stock Price Ratio Analysis. Needham reviewed the historical trading prices of Enliven common stock and DG FastChannel common stock for various periods prior to September 3, 2008, the last full trading day prior to the date of Needham's opinion, in order to determine the average stock price ratios for the prior close, week, one month, three months, six months, 12 months and two years. "Average stock price ratio" data represent the daily closing stock price of Enliven common stock divided by the daily closing stock price of DG FastChannel common stock averaged over the respective period.

Needham noted that the exchange ratio pursuant to the amended merger agreement of 0.0330 was higher than the average stock price ratio for the last reported close and for the prior week, but lower than that which existed for each of the other periods examined.
Contribution Analysis. Needham reviewed and analyzed the implied pro forma enterprise value contribution of each of Enliven and DG FastChannel to the pro forma combined operating results for calendar year 2007 and the pro forma estimated combined operating results for calendar year 2008 and calendar year 2009. Needham also noted the implied percentage contribution of each of Enliven and DG FastChannel to the pro forma combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2008. In calculating the pro forma estimated combined operating results, Needham used financial forecasts prepared by Enliven and DG FastChannel and assumed no cost savings or other synergies.
Needham reviewed, among other things, the implied percentage contributions to pro forma combined revenues, gross profit, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, earnings before interest and taxes, or EBIT, and earnings before taxes, or EBT.
The following tables present the results of this analysis and the implied pro forma enterprise value contribution of each of Enliven and DG FastChannel, based on the merger consideration formula set forth in the amended merger agreement, and using the treasury stock method to calculate the number of shares of post-merger DG FastChannel common stock outstanding after taking into account outstanding options and warrants.

The results of the contribution analysis are not necessarily indicative of the contributions that the respective businesses may have in the future.
S-17
Based on the exchange ratio, and based on DG FastChannel's and Enliven's June 30, 2008 cash and debt balances, each of Enliven and DG FastChannel represent 12.3% and 87.7% respectively of the combined pro forma enterprise value. Needham noted that Enliven's contribution to the combined pro forma enterprise value was greater than its contributions for the above-referenced measures of pro forma combined EBITDA, EBIT and EBT in each of the above-referenced time periods; that Enliven's contribution to the combined pro forma enterprise value was greater than its contribution to the pro forma combined gross profit in the case of the 2008 Enliven board estimate and consistent with the contributions for the other time periods referenced above; and that Enliven's contribution to the pro forma enterprise value was less than its contribution to the pro forma combined revenue for the above-referenced time periods.
Pro Forma Transaction Analysis. Needham prepared pro forma analyses of the financial impact of the merger based on the merger consideration and estimated financial results of Enliven and DG FastChannel for the 2008 and 2009 calendar years, estimated transaction fees and assumed cost savings and other synergies resulting from the merger. The estimated financial results, transaction fees, cost savings and revenue and other synergies were based upon Enliven's and DG FastChannel's respective estimates. While the actual operating or financial results achieved by the combined entity may vary from estimated results, and these variations may be material, Needham noted that, based upon these projections and assumptions, the merger would be dilutive to the estimated earnings per share of DG FastChannel for the 2008 and 2009 calendar years.
Selected Company Analysis. Using publicly available information, Needham compared selected historical and projected financial and market data ratios for Enliven to the corresponding publicly available data and ratios of certain publicly traded companies that Needham deemed relevant because they have lines of businesses that are similar to Enliven's line of business. These companies, referred to as the selected companies, consisted of the following: Google Inc.; Yahoo! Inc.; ValueClick Inc.; Omniture Inc.; ComScore Inc.; LoopNet Inc.; Marchex Inc.; LivePerson Inc.; InfoSpace Inc.; LookSmart Inc.; and MIVA Inc.
The
table below sets forth information concerning the following multiples for the selected companies and for Enliven:
Needham
also compared, for the selected companies,
but determined that these comparisons were not meaningful because of Enliven's negative EBITDA for the last 12 months and for projected 2008; and Enliven's negative earnings per share for the last 12 months, projected 2008 and projected 2009.
S-18
For purposes of the selected contribution, pro forma transaction and selected company analyses, the terms transaction value and market value represent the value, or implied value based upon the merger consideration or exchange ratio, of the relevant company's common equity, and the terms aggregate transaction value and enterprise value represent, with respect to the relevant company, market value plus debt, less cash.
Needham used publicly available financial estimates for the estimated data for the selected companies. Needham calculated multiples for the selected companies based on the closing stock prices of those companies on September 3, 2008, and for Enliven based the exchange ratio of 0.033 shares of DG FastChannel common stock for each share of Enliven common stock.

Selected Transaction Analysis. Needham analyzed publicly available financial information for the following selected merger and acquisition transactions, which represent transactions completed between

In examining the selected transactions, Needham analyzed, for the selected transactions and for the Enliven/DG FastChannel merger, aggregate transaction value as a multiple of LTM revenues.
Needham also compared, for the selected transactions, aggregate transaction value as a multiple of LTM EBITDA, but determined that this comparison was not meaningful because of Enliven's negative EBITDA for the last 12 months.
Needham calculated multiples for Enliven based on the implied merger consideration of $0.78 per share. The following table sets forth information concerning the multiples for the selected transactions.

Needham noted that the multiple for Enliven was greater than the median of the multiples of the selected transactions.
Needham analyzed publicly available financial information for the following selected merger and acquisition transactions, which represent transactions closed between January 1, 2006 and September 3, 2008 with an aggregate transaction value between $10 million and $1 billion that involved targets that

The following table sets forth information concerning the stock price premiums in the selected transactions and the stock price premiums implied by the merger.

Needham noted that the one-, five- and 30-day stock price premiums for Enliven were within the range of the results of the multiples for the selected transactions.
No company, transaction or business used in the "Selected Company Analysis" or the "Selected Transaction Analysis" is identical to Enliven, DG FastChannel or the merger. Accordingly, an evaluation of the results of these analyses is not entirely mathematical; rather, it involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in the financial and operating characteristics and other factors that could affect the acquisition, public trading or other values of the selected companies or selected transactions or the business segment, company or transaction to which they are being compared.
Other Analyses. In rendering its opinion, Needham considered various other analyses in addition to the material financial analyses summarized above, including a history of trading prices for Enliven and DG FastChannel common stock.
S-21
The summary set forth above does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses performed by Needham in connection with the rendering of its opinion. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex analytical process involving various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant quantitative and qualitative methods of financial analyses and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances and, therefore, such an opinion is not readily susceptible to summary description. Accordingly, Needham believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses or the factors it considered, without considering all analyses and factors, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the process underlying its analyses and opinion. Needham did not attribute any specific weight to any factor or analysis considered by it. The fact that any specific analysis has been referred to in the summary above is not meant to indicate that such analysis was given greater weight than any other analysis.
In performing its analyses, Needham made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business and economic and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of Enliven and DG FastChannel. Any estimates contained in these analyses are not necessarily indicative of actual values or predictive of future results or values, which may be significantly more or less favorable. Additionally, analyses relating to the values of businesses or assets do not purport to be appraisals or necessarily reflect the prices at which businesses or assets may actually be sold or the prices at which any securities have traded or may trade at any time in the future. Accordingly, these analyses and estimates are inherently subject to substantial uncertainty. Needham's opinion and related analyses were only one of many factors considered by Enliven's board of directors in its evaluation of the proposed merger and should not be viewed as determinative of the views of Enliven's board of directors or management with respect to the merger consideration or the merger.
Under the terms of its engagement letter with Needham, Enliven is required to pay Needham a nonrefundable fee of $250,000 for the Needham opinions and will pay Needham a $1,250,000 fee for financial advisory services upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the amended merger agreement. Whether or not the merger is consummated, Enliven has agreed to reimburse Needham for its out-of-pocket expenses and to indemnify Needham against certain liabilities relating to or arising out of services performed by Needham as financial advisor to Enliven. In the event the merger is not consummated and Enliven is paid a break-up, termination or similar fee by DG FastChannel, Enliven has agreed to pay Needham a fee equal to 20% of such break-up, termination or other similar fee, if any, payable in cash promptly following receipt thereof. In the event the DG FastChannel merger is not consummated and an alternative business combination is consummated during the period that Needham is retained as financial advisor to Enliven or within nine months thereafter, Enliven has agreed to pay Needham fees for financial advisory services equal to the greater of 2.0% of the aggregate purchase price paid in the alternative business combination or $750,000, payable in cash upon the closing of the transaction. The amount of the fee due Needham in the alternative business combination would be reduced by the amount of the break-up, termination or other similar fee, if any, paid to Needham in connection with the DG FastChannel merger. Needham would also receive a fee of $250,000 for any opinion rendered with respect to any such alternative business combination.
Needham is a nationally recognized investment banking firm. As part of its investment banking services, Needham is regularly engaged in the evaluation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, secondary distributions of securities, private placements and other purposes. Needham was retained to act as Enliven's financial advisor in connection with the merger based on Needham's experience as a financial advisor in mergers and acquisitions as well as Needham's familiarity with Enliven and similarly situated technology companies. Needham has in the past provided and may in the future provide investment banking and financial advisory services to Enliven and DG FastChannel unrelated to the proposed merger, for which services Needham has received and expects to receive compensation. Needham has had no investment
S-22
banking relationship with DG FastChannel during the past two years. In the normal course of its business, Needham may actively trade the equity securities of Enliven or DG FastChannel for its own account or for the account of its customers and, therefore, may at any time hold a long or short position in these securities.
Update to Interests of Enliven's Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger
Directors of DG FastChannel Following the Merger. In accordance with the amended merger agreement, following the merger, the size of the DG FastChannel board of directors will be increased from seven members to eight members to include one person who is currently a member of the Enliven board of directors, who will serve in the class of directors whose term will expire at the DG FastChannel annual meeting of stockholders in 2010. DG FastChannel and Enliven will mutually agree, prior to the consummation of the merger, on the person to serve as such member of the DG FastChannel board of directors and expect that Harvey D. Weatherson will become the new member of the DG FastChannel board of directors following the merger.
Update to Certain Fees Associated with the Merger
Generally, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the amended merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the amended merger agreement will be paid by the party incurring those expenses, subject to the specific exceptions discussed in this document. Upon termination of the amended merger agreement under specified circumstances, DG FastChannel may be required to reimburse Enliven for certain expenses up to $1,500,000 and Enliven may be required to pay to DG FastChannel a termination fee of $1,538,964 and reimburse DG FastChannel for certain expenses up to $300,000 (subject to offset in the event a termination fee is paid to DG FastChannel). See "THE MERGERFees and Expenses" in the joint proxy statement/prospectus and the remainder of this supplement for a discussion of the circumstances under which a termination fee will be paid and expenses will be reimbursed.
AMENDMENT TO THE MERGER AGREEMENT
Merger Consideration
Upon completion of the merger, each share of Enliven common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger (other than shares held by DG FastChannel, merger sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of DG FastChannel, in the treasury of Enliven or by a wholly owned subsidiary of Enliven) will be canceled and automatically converted into the right to receive 0.033 of a share of DG FastChannel common stock upon surrender of the certificate representing such share of Enliven common stock in the manner provided in the merger agreement.
Other Covenants
Meeting of Stockholders. A vote of the DG FastChannel stockholders to approve the issuance of DG FastChannel common stock in connection with the merger is no longer required. As a result, no DG FastChannel special meeting will be held in connection with the merger. The merger agreement has, accordingly, been amended to remove as a condition precedent to the merger the approval of issuance of DG FastChannel common stock by the DG FastChannel stockholders. Likewise, references to the DG FastChannel special meeting have been omitted from the merger agreement, including references to such meeting in sections of the merger agreement which deal with the parties' respective representations and warranties, covenants of the parties and the party's respective termination rights.
DG FastChannel Board of Directors. DG FastChannel has agreed that its board of directors shall take all necessary action to cause the full DG FastChannel board of directors at the effective time of the merger to consist of no more than eight directors and to include one person (to be mutually agreed
S-23
upon by Enliven and DG FastChannel prior to the effective time of the merger) who is currently a director of Enliven, such individual to serve in the class of directors the term of which will expire at the annual meeting of the stockholders of DG FastChannel in 2010. In the event that this individual ceases to be a director of Enliven prior to the consummation of the merger or otherwise is unable or unwilling to serve on the DG FastChannel board of directors immediately following the effective time, Enliven shall recommend a replacement member, subject to the reasonable approval of DG FastChannel.
Payment of Expenses. Enliven has agreed to pay DG FastChannel a termination fee of $1,538,964 if:
Enliven
has agreed to pay DG FastChannel's fees and expenses up to $300,000, subject to offset in the event a termination fee is also paid to DG FastChannel, if the merger
agreement is terminated:
DG FastChannel
has agreed to pay Enliven's fees and expenses up to $1,500,000 if the merger agreement is terminated, provided that such payment shall not be made if the payment
designated below under "Fees and Expenses" has been previously been made:
Fees and Expenses. Subject to certain conditions, all fees and expenses incurred by the parties shall be borne solely and entirely by the party which has incurred the same, whether or not the merger is consummated; provided, however, that if the merger does not occur on or prior to October 6, 2008 (or, if the Enliven stockholders' meeting has not occurred on or prior to the October 6, 2008 deadline due solely to the fact that the SEC did not declare effective the joint proxy statement/prospectus, as supplemented, within five (5) business days following the filing of this supplement, then the October 6, 2008 deadline shall be extended until the earlier of (x) the outside date and (y) the second business day following the date of the Enliven stockholders' meeting; provided that the extension of the October 6, 2008 date shall terminate at such time as DG FastChannel fails to act diligently and in good faith in connection with the filing and clearance of this supplement (October 6, 2008 or such later deadline
S-24
date being referred to herein as the "deadline"), DG FastChannel shall pay to Enliven, within two (2) business days thereafter following the deadline, an amount equal to the sum of Enliven's expenses in connection with the merger up to an amount equal to $1,500,000.
Material Adverse Effect. The definition of the term "material adverse effect" has been amended to provide that none of the following additional factors, alone or
in combination with any other factors enumerated in the definition of material adverse effect, shall be deemed to constitute, nor will any of the following be taken into account in determining whether
there has been or will be, a material adverse effect:
UPDATE ON THE ENLIVEN SPECIAL MEETING
As previously announced, the special meeting of Enliven stockholders is still scheduled to be held at New York's Hotel Pennsylvania, 401 Seventh Avenue, New York, NY 10001 on September 24, 2008 at 11:00 a.m. local time. August 7, 2008 continues to be the record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the Enliven special meeting. Please refer to the text under the heading "Enliven Special Meeting" in the accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus for important information concerning the procedures for voting at the special meeting.
At the Enliven special meeting, Enliven stockholders will be asked to consider and vote upon (i) a proposal to adopt the amended merger agreement and approve the merger and (ii) a proposal to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to adopt the amended merger agreement and approve the merger, and to transact such other business as may properly come before the special meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof.
Although proposal number 1 on the PROXY CARDS previously mailed to Enliven stockholders of record and enclosed with this proxy statement/prospectus, as supplemented, refers to the original merger agreement, all such references to the original merger agreement on the PROXY CARDS shall be treated as references to the amended merger agreement for the purpose of your vote at the special meeting.
If
you previously submitted a PROXY CARD for the Enliven special meeting, you do not need to submit another PROXY CARD or take any other action unless you desire to change your previous
vote. You may, however, change your vote at any time before your PROXY CARD is voted at the special meeting. If you are the record holder of your shares you can do this in one of three
ways:
If you hold shares in "street name," you should contact your broker or bank to give it instructions to change your vote. If you choose to send a written notice or to mail a new PROXY CARD, you must submit your notice of revocation or new PROXY CARD in the enclosed postage-prepaid envelope.
S-25
UPDATE TO DIRECTORS OF DG FASTCHANNEL AFTER THE MERGER

The following individual is the current member of the Enliven board of directors who will be appointed to the DG FastChannel board of directors at the effective time of the merger:

of Directors
Enliven Marketing Technologies Corp.
205 West 39th Street, 16th Floor
New York, New York 10018
Gentlemen:
We understand that DG FastChannel Inc. ("Parent"), Enliven Marketing Technologies Corp. (the "Company") and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub") has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 7, 2008, to be amended by the proposed Amendment No. 1 to Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended by such proposed amendment, the "Amended Merger Agreement") whereby, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Amended Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company and the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the "Merger"). The terms and conditions of the Merger will be set forth more fully in the Amended Merger Agreement.
Pursuant to the proposed Amended Merger Agreement, we understand that at the Effective Time (as defined in the Amended Merger Agreement), each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company ("Company Common Stock"), other than shares owned by the Company or by any wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company as treasury stock and shares owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any wholly owned subsidiary of Parent or Merger Sub, will be converted into the right to receive shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Parent ("Parent Common Stock") equal to the Exchange Ratio (as defined below). The Exchange Ratio shall equal 0.0330 shares of Parent Common Stock for each share of Company Common Stock.
You have asked us to advise you as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Company Common Stock (other than the shares of Company Common Stock held by Parent and its affiliates, as to which we express no opinion) of the Exchange Ratio pursuant to the Amended Merger Agreement.
For purposes of this opinion we have, among other things: (i) reviewed that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 7, 2008, by and among Parent, the Company and Merger Sub;
Boston Office: One Post Office Square, Suite 1900, Boston, MA 02109 (617) 457-0900
California Offices: 3000 Sand Hill Road, Building 2

One Ferry Building, Suite 240, San Francisco, CA 94111 (415) 262-4860
B-1
(ii) reviewed a draft of the proposed Amendment No. 1 to Agreement and Plan of Merger dated September 3, 2008; (iii) reviewed certain publicly available information concerning Parent and the Company, including communication by Parent and the Company to their respective stockholders, and certain other relevant financial and operating data of Parent and the Company furnished to us by Parent and the Company; (iv) reviewed the historical stock prices and trading volumes of the Company Common Stock and the Parent Common Stock; (v) held discussions with members of management of Parent and the Company concerning the current operations of and future business prospects for Parent and the Company and joint prospects for the combined companies, including the potential cost savings and other synergies that may be achieved by the combined companies; (vi) reviewed certain financial forecasts with respect to Parent and the Company prepared by the respective managements of Parent and the Company and held discussions with members of such management concerning those forecasts; (vii) reviewed certain research analyst projections with respect to Parent and the Company; (viii) compared certain publicly available financial data of companies whose securities are traded in the public markets and that we deemed relevant to similar data for Parent and the Company; (ix) reviewed the financial terms of certain other business combinations that we deemed generally relevant; and (x) reviewed such other financial studies and analyses and considered such other matters as we have deemed appropriate.
In connection with our review and in arriving at our opinion, we have assumed and relied on the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial, accounting, legal, tax and other information discussed with or reviewed by us for purposes of this opinion and have neither attempted to verify independently nor assumed responsibility for verifying any of such information. In addition, we have assumed, with your consent, that the Merger will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and that the Merger will be consummated upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Amended Merger Agreement without waiver, modification or amendment of any material term, condition or agreement thereof and that, in the course of obtaining the necessary regulatory or third party approvals, consents and releases for the Merger, no delay, limitation, restriction or condition will be imposed that would have an adverse effect on Parent, the Company or the contemplated benefits of the Merger. With respect to the financial forecasts for Parent, the Company and the combined company provided to us by the management of Parent and the Company, we have assumed, with your consent and based upon discussions with such management, that such forecasts have been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of such management, at the time of preparation, of the future operating and financial performance of Parent and the Company and the combined companies, and we have relied, without independent verification, upon the estimates of such management of the potential cost savings and other synergies, including the amount and timing thereof, that may be achieved as a result of the proposed Merger. With respect to the research analyst projections for Parent and the Company, we have assumed, with your consent and based upon discussions with management of Parent and the Company, that such projections represent reasonable estimates as to the future financial performance of Parent and the Company. We express no opinion with respect to any of such forecasts, projections or estimates or the assumptions on which they were based.
We have not assumed any responsibility for or made or obtained any independent evaluation, appraisal or physical inspection of the assets or liabilities of Parent or the Company nor have we evaluated the solvency or fair value of Parent or the Company under any state or federal laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters. Further, our opinion is based on economic, monetary and market conditions as they exist and can be evaluated as of the date hereof and we assume no responsibility to update or revise our opinion based upon circumstances and events occurring after the date hereof. Our opinion as expressed herein is limited to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Company Common Stock (other than the shares of Company Common Stock held by Parent and its affiliates, as to which we express no opinion) of the Exchange Ratio pursuant to the Amended Merger Agreement and we express no opinion as to the fairness of the Merger to, or any
B-2
consideration received in connection therewith by, the holders of any other class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of the Company, or as to the Company's underlying business decision to engage in the Merger or the relative merits of the Merger as compared to other business strategies that might be available to the Company. In addition, we express no opinion with respect to the amount or nature or any other aspect of any compensation payable to or to be received by any officers, directors or employees of any party to the Merger, or any class of such persons, relative to the Exchange Ratio pursuant to the Amended Merger Agreement or with respect to the fairness of any such compensation. Our opinion does not constitute a recommendation to any stockholder of the Company as to how such stockholder should vote with respect to the proposed Merger.
We are not expressing any opinion as to the value of Parent Common Stock when issued pursuant to the Merger or the prices at which Company Common Stock or Parent Common Stock will actually trade at any time.
We have been engaged by the Company as financial advisor in connection with the Merger and to render this opinion and will receive fees for our services, a portion of which is payable upon rendering this opinion and a substantial portion of which is contingent on the consummation of the Merger. In addition, the Company has agreed to indemnify us for certain liabilities arising out of our role as financial advisor and out of the rendering of this opinion and to reimburse us for our out-of-pocket expenses. We may in the future provide investment banking and financial advisory services to the Company, Parent and their respective affiliates unrelated to the proposed Merger, for which services we would expect to receive compensation. In the ordinary course of our business, we may actively trade the equity securities of the Company and Parent for our own account or for the accounts of customers or affiliates and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities.
This letter and the opinion expressed herein are provided at the request and for the information of the Board of Directors of the Company and may not be quoted or referred to or used for any purpose without our prior written consent, except that this letter may be disclosed in connection with any registration statement or proxy statement used in connection with the Merger provided that this letter is quoted in full in such registration statement or proxy statement. This opinion has been approved by a fairness committee of Needham & Company, LLC and supercedes in its entirety that certain letter dated as of May 7, 2008 from Needham & Company to the Board of Directors of the Company, and the opinion expressed therein.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Exchange Ratio pursuant to the Amended Merger Agreement is fair to the holders of Company Common Stock (other than the shares of Company Common Stock held by Parent and its affiliates, as to which we express no opinion) from a financial point of view.
Very truly yours, | ||
