A brief refresher

Willis Stein & Partners has retained Evercore Partners (EVP) and Lehman Brothers (LEH) to help evaluate a possible sale of Ziff Davis Holdings, a New York-based publisher of titles like PC Magazine, eWeek and CIO Insight. Ziff Davis reported $5.7 million in EBITDA for Q2 2006, on revenue of $45.2 million. Willis Stein acquired the company in 1999 for $780 million from Softbank.

Just a reminder that it is important to be price-sensitive.
