Think Partnership’s PrimaryAds Subsidiary Obtains Court Order

Posted on

NORTHBROOK, Ill.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Sept. 8, 2005–CGI Holding Corporation d/b/a Think Partnership Inc. ("THK" or the "Company") (AMEX: THK – News) announced that its PrimaryAds Inc. subsidiary has obtained a Court Order issued by the Court of Common Pleas in Pittsburgh, PA, requiring Direct Response Technologies ("DRT") to comply with the terms of a Consent Decree by immediately returning PrimaryAds’ Business Information and Data to PrimaryAds. DRT had previously refused to comply with the Consent Decree, which prompted PrimaryAds to file a motion with the Court seeking immediate enforcement of the Consent Decree. The Court Order expressly states that "DRT shall comply with the Consent Decree dated June 24, 2005 by immediately (within 30 business days) delivering ALL of PrimaryAds’ Business Information and Data to PrimaryAds as defined in Exhibit A to the Consent Decree."

Gerard M. Jacobs, the Chief Executive Officer of Think Partnership Inc., stated, "If DRT fails to comply with the Court Order and the Consent Decree, they do so at their own peril."

Kenneth Harlan, the Chief Executive Officer of Think Partnership’s PrimaryAds Inc. subsidiary, stated, "The information which the Court ordered DRT to return to PrimaryAds is vitally important to PrimaryAds’ business, and is also PrimaryAds’ property, as acknowledged on numerous occasions by DRT. Indeed, DRT’s own website expressly represents that ALL data collected by the DRT system belongs to its customers. If DRT attempts to withhold PrimaryAds’ Business Information and Data any longer, DRT does so at the risk of violating both the Consent Decree and now a Court Order. DRT will have the heavy burden of demonstrating to the Court that any Business Information and Data withheld from PrimaryAds is somehow proprietary even though DRT has admitted that it is PrimaryAds’ property, and it is publicly available. PrimaryAds looks forward at last to the return of its Business Information and Data and to its subsequent transition to its new software provider, Kowabunga!."
