Business Wire
Synchronoss Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:SNCR) (the "Company" or
“Synchronoss”), the leader in mobile cloud innovation for mobile
carriers, enterprises, retailers and OEMs around the world, today
announced that its Board of Directors has initiated a process to
evaluate potential strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder
value. As part of the process, the Board will consider a full range
of strategic, operational and financial alternatives, which may
include a sale or other transaction.
Synchronoss has retained Goldman Sachs & Co LLC and PJT
Partners Inc. as its financial advisors to assist with the
strategic review process, and has retained Simpson Thacher &
Bartlett LLP and Gunderson Dettmer Stough Villeneuve Franklin &
Hachigian, LLP as its legal counsel.

indication of interest from Siris Capital Group, LLC on June 23,
2017 to acquire the Company. In light of the indication of
interest, the Board believes now is an appropriate time to explore
a broad range of strategic alternatives that may have the potential
to unlock shareholder value.

result in any transaction or strategic alternative, or any
assurance as to its outcome or timing. The Company has not set a
timetable for completion of the review process and does not intend
to disclose developments related to the process unless and until
the Board approves a transaction or specific action, or otherwise
determines that further disclosure is appropriate or required.
