COMV Comverge, Inc. (MM)

Comverge, Inc. (Nasdaq:COMV) ("Comverge") today announced that it did not exercise its option to extend the "go shop" period during which Comverge had been permitted to solicit alternative acquisition proposals from third parties (the "Go Shop Period"). The Go-Shop Period accordingly expired on April 25, 2012 at 11:59 p.m., New York City time.

On April 11, 2012, Peak Holding Corp. ("Parent"), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Peak Merger Corp. ("Purchaser"), initiated a cash tender offer to purchase all outstanding shares of common stock of Comverge for $1.75 per share without interest and less any applicable withholding and transfer taxes. The tender offer is being made pursuant to an offer to purchase and related letter of transmittal, each dated April 11, 2012, and a merger agreement dated March 26, 2012 among Comverge, Parent and Purchaser (the "Merger Agreement"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, after completion of the tender offer and the satisfaction and waiver of all conditions, Purchaser will merge with and into Comverge, with Comverge continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.

As previously disclosed in Comverge's solicitation/recommendation statement on Schedule 14D-9, Comverge has discussed the possibility of selling all or a part of itself with potential parties on multiple occasions since the fall of 2010. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Comverge was permitted to continue to engage in solicitation activities for up to 30 calendar days after March 26, 2012. During the Go-Shop Period, Comverge, through its financial advisor J.P Morgan Securities LLC ("J.P. Morgan"), contacted separate and multiple strategic and financial entities that were identified as potentially interested parties, entered into confidentiality agreements with certain parties, and engaged in discussion with the parties that executed confidentiality agreements regarding the Company and its business in order to solicit from those parties proposals to acquire Comverge. Comverge provided the parties that entered into confidentiality agreements with access to non-public financial and other information regarding Comverge, including access to an on-line data room. Comverge's management and legal advisors also conducted multiple presentations on its business and prospects, during which times they responded to questions of participants. Two interested parties conducted substantial due diligence.

Despite the broad solicitation and access to and interactions with Comverge's management and its legal and financial advisors, all of the parties with whom Comverge conducted discussions have indicated that they will not make an acquisition proposal that would potentially lead to a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) Accordingly, Comverge chose not to extend the Go-Shop Period, which ended at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on April 25, 2012. Comverge has no further opportunity to extend the Go-Shop Period.

Currently, the tender offer will expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on the end of May 8, 2012, unless extended in accordance with the Merger Agreement. The closing of the tender offer remains subject to certain conditions described in the tender offer statement on Schedule TO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 11, 2012 and as subsequently amended. The Comverge Board of Directors strongly recommends that the holders of shares of Comverge's common stock tender their shares in the offer, as it believes the transaction with Parent and Purchaser continues to be in the best interest of Comverge stockholders.
