On today Convergys Corporation (NYSE:CVG) announced that its board of directors and senior management team are evaluating a potential separation of the company’s Information Management business from the remaining parts of Convergys to create two strong, independent, publicly traded companies, each focused on its own set of business opportunities. The Board has retained Centerview Partners as its financial advisor to assist in this process. Convergys anticipates that the board of directors and the senior management team will review the results of this evaluation and make a decision during the fourth quarter 2008.
Convergys noted that there can be no assurance that the evaluation announced today will result in any changes to the company’s current corporate structure.
This news release has no effect on the company’s July 16 announcement of the acquisition of Intervoice, Inc. (NASDAQ: INTV). Convergys expects the Intervoice transaction to close later this week.
