(CTP) Board of Directors Forms Special Committee

CTPartners Executive Search, Inc. announced that its Board of Directors has formed a Special Committee, composed solely of independent directors, to review strategic alternatives for the Company, including a previously announced unsolicited, non-binding proposal from DHR International, Inc. to acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Company for $7.00 a share and a range of other alternatives. The Special Committee has engaged Robert W. Baird & Co. to serve as its financial adviser.

The Company does not currently plan to provide interim updates on the Special Committee’s work, and does not expect to report on the strategic review process until the Special Committee has completed the process and made its recommendation to the full Board of Directors for its consideration and action, if any. The Special Committee has not established a timetable and there is no assurance that the review process will result in any transaction being announced or completed.
