More Quad notes
Quad’s acquistion of Worldcolor garnered coverage in newspapers, financial, legal and trade publications. Here are some of the highlights:

The Wall Street Journal
If investors value the new company at the same multiple to earnings as they do R.R. Donnelley, it would be worth roughly $5.25 billion. It could be worth more or less depending on market conditions at the time it is listed. The combined firm would have about $2 billion in debt.

Toronto Globe & Mail
"Print, now, is increasingly digital and complementary to online media," [Worldcolor CEO Mark] Angelson said. "Companies with solid balance sheets, strong cash flows, and the most innovative products and services that reduce costs and help customers capitalize on digital media, will thrive in this new environment."

Folio Magazine
“I don’t see this as good news for magazine publishers as it will further reduce competition which may lead to higher print prices,” Bradner Smith & Co. publication papers vice president Dan Walsh wrote in an e-mail to FOLIO:. “I would also not be surprised to see some Worldcolor plants shut down over the next year as a result of this purchase.”
