MARTHA STEWART OMNIMEDIA, INC. SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Former SEC Attorney Willie Briscoe and Powers Taylor LLP Believe the Acquisition by Sequential Brands Group, Inc. May be Unfair to Shareholders

DALLAS--()--Former United States Securities and Exchange Commission attorney Willie Briscoe and the securities litigation firm of Powers Taylor LLP are investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of Martha Stewart Omnimedia, Inc. (“Martha Stewart”) (NYSE: MSO) concerning the acquisition by Sequential Brands Group, Inc. (NasdaqCM: SQBG). Under the terms of the agreement, valued at approximately $353 million, Martha Stewart shareholders will elect to receive either $6.15 in cash or a number of shares of a newly formed public holding company (“TopCo”) common stock equal to $6.15 divided by the volume weighted average price of Sequential Brands common stock during the five-day period ending on the trading day immediately prior to closing per Martha Stewart share owned. The consideration is significantly lower than at least one analyst’s estimated value of $7.18.

The investigation centers on whether Martha Stewart’s Board of Directors is acting in the shareholders’ best interests, whether the board considered alternatives to the acquisition, and whether the board has employed an adequate process to review and act on the proposed transaction. Notably, at least one analyst with Yahoo! Finance believes the true inherent value of Martha Stewart could be as high as $7.18 per share.
