Exhibit 99.3
Dear Valued Partner,
I am writing to share some exciting news about Epiq. This morning, we announced that Epiq has agreed to be acquired by OMERS Private Equity, the private equity arm of the OMERS pension plan, and Harvest Partners, a middle-market private equity fund. Upon completion of the transaction, Epiq will become a privately held company and will be combined with DTI, a leading global legal process outsourcing company majority-owned by OMERS and managed by OMERS Private Equity. The press release we issued today is here(hyperlink in Pardot).
This transaction represents a very exciting opportunity for both Epiq and DTI to combine each company’s strengths to create a stronger legal services and technology provider well-positioned to address the increasingly global marketplace. Epiq will become part of an expanded global organization, and will continue to work with regionally diverse client bases, delivering local service and segment expertise – whether it be complex, global legal discovery, class action and mass tort administration, corporate restructuring, Chapter 7 case management or more general legal services outsourcing. Ultimately, this transaction is about delivering our clients a more robust base of services, capabilities and expertise, serving them more effectively and holistically than ever before.
We expect the transaction with OMERS Private Equity and Harvest Partners to close in the fourth quarter of 2016, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. Until then, Epiq and DTI remain independent companies and it is business as usual here at Epiq.
We appreciate your continued support and we will keep you updated as the transaction moves towards closing.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to your day-to-day Epiq contact.
Best regards,
Brad D. Scott
President & Chief Operating Officer, Epiq Systems
