January 10, 2013 6:31 AM EST
Fisher Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: FSCI) announced today that its Board of Directors has decided to explore and evaluate potential strategic alternatives intended to enhance shareholder value, which could result in, among other things, a possible sale of the Company. The Company has retained Moelis & Company as its financial advisor and White & Case LLP and Perkins Coie LLP as its legal counsel.

The Company has not made a decision to pursue any specific strategic transaction or any other strategic alternative, and there is no set timetable for the strategic review process. There can be no assurance that the exploration of strategic alternatives will result in the consummation of any transaction. The Company does not intend to comment further regarding the evaluation of strategic alternatives until such time as the Board has determined the outcome of the process or otherwise has deemed that disclosure is appropriate.

Due to the Board's decision to explore and evaluate strategic alternatives, the Company will delay the date of its 2013 annual meeting of shareholders (the "Annual Meeting") to a date that is not earlier than June 9, 2013. As a result, in accordance with the Company's Amended Bylaws, nominations by shareholders for the election of Company directors at the Annual Meeting, and notice of other proper business, will be due on the later of: (i) the 90th day prior to the Annual Meeting, or (ii) the tenth day following the day on which the notice of the date of the Annual Meeting was mailed to shareholders or such public disclosure was made.
