The dividend of $0.265 per share would equate to an annual dividend payment for the last four quarters of $1.105 per share.

The Fund's investment objective is to seek a high rate of return from interest income and trading activity. The Fund will also seek capital appreciation by purchasing debt securities at prices that the Fund’s advisor, Cutwater Investor Services Corp., believes are below their intrinsic value. The Fund will also look to benefit from trading securities to optimize the risk adjusted yields.

A portion of a Fund's current distribution may include sources other than net investment income, including a return of capital. Investors should understand that a return of capital is not a distribution from income or gains of a Fund. As required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, a notice with the estimated components of the distribution will be sent to shareholders at the time of payment if it does not consist solely of net investment income. Such notice will also be posted to the Fund’s website at www.cutwater.com. The notice should not be used to prepare tax returns as the estimates indicated in the notice may differ from the ultimate federal income tax characterization of distributions. After the end of each calendar year, investors will be sent a Form 1099-DIV informing them how to report distributions received during that year for federal income tax purposes.

Statements in this press release that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements as defined by the United States securities laws. You should exercise caution in interpreting and relying on forward-looking statements because they are subject to uncertainties and other factors which are, in some cases, beyond the Fund's control and could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.

An investor should consider a Fund's investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing.

--$169.4 million higher education revenue and revenue & refunding improvement bonds (TCU project) at 'AA-';

--$130 million higher education variable-rate demand bonds (VRDBs) (TCU Project) at 'AA-/F1+'.

The Rating Outlook is Stable.

SECURITY

The bonds are an unsecured general obligation of TCU.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

STRONG FINANCIAL PROFILE UNDERPINS RATING: The 'AA-' reflects steady, positive operating results, driven by favorable enrollment trends and robust financial management practices, and a solid level of balance sheet resources.

LIMITED REVENUE DIVERSITY: Similar to other private colleges and universities, TCU remains heavily dependent on student generated revenues. Concern is partly offset by management's conservative enrollment forecasting, track-record of stable enrollment trends, and ample demand flexibility.

MANAGEABLE CAPITAL PLANS: Periodic investment and re-investment in facilities has produced a high debt burden. TCU's consistent generation of adequate MADS coverage from operations and strong level of financial resources relative to debt mitigates this concern. Fitch expects these financial metrics to remain relatively stable.

RESOURCE SUFFICIENCY: The 'F1+' rating is based on TCU's ability to cover the maximum potential liquidity demands presented by its variable rate debt by at least 1.25 times (x) from internal, highly liquid resources and a dedicated liquidity facility.

CREDIT PROFILE

TCU has consistently produced positive adjusted operating margins in the past five years, ranging from 4.9% (fiscal 2011) to 7.9% (fiscal 2008). These results are supported by strong and steady financial management, as reflected in TCU's conservative budgeting practices, long-term planning, and close monitoring of revenue and expenditure growth. The effectiveness of these prudent strategies is also evident in TCU's interim fiscal 2012 financials, which point to another year of positive operating performance.

TCU's high reliance on student charges for operations (72.4% of adjusted unrestricted fiscal 2011 revenues) underscores the importance of effective enrollment management. Over the past five years, total headcount enrollment has increased by an average rate of 2.4%, to 9,518 in fall 2011. Over the same time, TCU maintained relatively stable, healthy levels of freshmen matriculation, yield, and retention.

Fitch believes that these favorable enrollment and demand trends partly offset concern related to high reliance on student charges and should support TCU's recently adopted goal of reaching 10,000 total headcount enrollment in the next few years.

Positive operating performance driven by TCU's healthy enrollment trends and prudent financial management practices have contributed to gradual restoration in TCU's financial cushion, following recession-related losses. Available funds, defined by Fitch as cash and investments not permanently restricted, totaled $992.4 million at the end of fiscal 2011.

Relative to fiscal 2011 operating expenses and pro-forma long-term debt (inclusive of the full amount of a $120 million draw down facility initiated in December 2010), TCU's available funds provided strong coverage of 3.1 times (x) and 2.3 x, respectively. Based on Fitch's review of TCU's investment report as of 5/31/12, Fitch believes that audited available funds in fiscal 2012 will be comparable to fiscal 2011.

Similar to many highly rated institutions, TCU utilizes bullet maturities for certain debt issues. For purposes of calculating MADS debt burden, Fitch smoothes bullet maturities by amortizing principal payments over the remaining life of the bonds. Under this approach, MADS of $36.5 million represents a high 11% of adjusted fiscal 2011 unrestricted operating revenues.

Concern regarding a debt burden of this magnitude is tempered by TCU's solid financial cushion and ability to consistently generate satisfactory MADS coverage from operations, which has averaged 1.5x over the past five years.

Importantly, MADS includes debt service payments on the aforementioned draw down loan facility, of which approximately $106 million is currently outstanding. TCU has already raised an impressive $142 million in pledges in a fundraising campaign dedicated solely to repaying the loan, with the receipt of funds materializing as planned to date.

TCU's management team is considering additional capital projects, including renovation and new construction related to academics and housing. Fitch positively notes that the university maintains flexibility with regards to timing and intends to fund any such project/s through a mixture of debt, fundraising, and internal resources.

The successful closure of the university's recent comprehensive capital campaign, which raised $434 million, or $184 million in excess of the original goal, highlights TCU's capacity to utilize institutional development toward financing potential capital needs.

The 'F1+' rating is based on the availability of highly liquid, highly rated securities to cover potential maximum liquidity demands presented by TCU's outstanding variable rate demand bonds. To supplement internal liquidity resources, TCU maintains the ability to draw on a dedicated line of credit in the aggregate amount of $40 million. On a combined basis, TCU's liquid assets totaled $244.3 million, which are available on a weekly basis and cover the university's liquidity needs of $130 million by a healthy 1.88x.

Additional information is available at 'www.fitchratings.com'. The ratings above were solicited by, or on behalf of, the issuer, and therefore, Fitch has been compensated for the provision of the ratings.

“Our performance reflected slightly better than expected supply chain recovery assumptions as stated in the prior quarter call.”

Fourth Quarter Sales and Earnings Overview

Total Company:
Fourth quarter sales were $783.7 million compared to $780.4 million last year, an increase of 0.4% (+6.1% in local currency (“LC”)). Diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) were $0.73 in the quarter, compared to $0.82 last year. Pro forma diluted EPS⁽¹⁾ were $0.99 compared to $0.76 last year, an increase of 30%. Foreign currency translation negatively impacted fourth quarter EPS by $0.05.

Continuing Operations:⁽²⁾
Sales in the quarter were $722.4 million, an increase of about 1% (+6.4% LC). Diluted EPS were $0.64 in the quarter, compared to $0.76 last year. Pro forma EPS were $0.86 compared to $0.65 last year, an increase of 32%.

Larry Kingsley, President and CEO, said, “We executed a solid fourth quarter. We focused almost exclusively on restoring customer service levels and we have recovered from the ERP implementation challenges in the third quarter of FY12. We also closed the transaction with Haemonetics on August 1^st as planned. We have taken action to insure that we can achieve reasonable shareholder return in a choppy economic environment.

“Our BioPharmaceuticals, Machinery & Equipment, and Aerospace markets all performed very well in the quarter. On a regional basis, the Americas had strong growth while Europe and Asia were flat. System sales were negative in the quarter as a function of a very large comparison quarter in FY11, our decision to pare certain unprofitable system sales, and lower capital commitment in some markets.

“Consumable orders were strong globally with the exception of our Industrial markets in Europe where orders declined 7% year-on-year.

“Our performance reflected slightly better than expected supply chain recovery assumptions as stated in the prior quarter call.”

Full Year Sales and Earnings Overview

Total Company:
For the full year, sales increased 5.9% over last year (+6.9% LC). Diluted EPS were $2.71, compared to $2.67 for the same period last year. Pro forma EPS were $3.19, a 15% increase compared to $2.77 a year earlier. Foreign currency translation had an immaterial impact on full year EPS.

Continuing Operations:⁽²⁾
Sales from continuing operations for the full year increased 6.1% (+7.2% LC) over last year. Diluted EPS were $2.39 compared to $2.36. Pro forma EPS were $2.80, a 16% increase compared to $2.42 a year earlier.

BioPharmaceuticals: Within BioPharmaceuticals, our Pharmaceuticals sales increased 16%. Consumables sales to Pharmaceuticals customers grew 21%, with contributions from all regions, while systems sales declined 22%. Continued strength in the biotech market, as well as ForteBio’s BLItz^TM and Octet® instrumentation platforms, which added about 4%, drove consumables sales growth. Laboratory sales grew in all regions and increased about 15% overall.

Food and Beverage: Sales were down overall reflecting a divestiture in Italy which reduced sales by almost 5%. Consumables sales grew about 12%, excluding the divestiture. This growth reflects new products and growth in emerging markets. Systems sales were down reflecting decreased capital investment in Europe related to weak economic conditions in parts of the region.

Medical: Medical OEM sales grew 10% driven by the Americas and Europe. Hospital sales were up slightly. Other Medical markets were negatively impacted by channel changes.

Process Technologies: Machinery & Equipment sales increased 9%. Consumables sales grew in all regions reflecting growth in the mining, automotive in-plant and mobile OEM sectors.

Sales in Fuels & Chemicals decreased approximately 4% overall on weakness in Europe as well as tough comparables to a strong quarter in fiscal year 2011.

Power Generation sales increased 18%. Systems sales more than doubled, while consumables sales grew about 2%. Key growth drivers in the quarter include the recovery of the turbine OEM sector in Europe.

Municipal Water sales increased about 5%, driven by growth in the Americas.

Aerospace: Military Aerospace grew 28% in the quarter, with all regions contributing. Sales in the Americas were particularly strong. Commercial Aerospace sales increased 12%, with both Americas and Europe strong.

Microelectronics: The result year over year reflects continuing weakness in our customer end markets in Asia. Overall, orders were up 5%.

Conclusion/Outlook

Kingsley concluded, “I’m pleased with our execution in the quarter in that we were able to restore customer confidence. However, we have much to do to demonstrate that we can execute in a manner that is industry-leading and that we can be proud of. Our team is working hard to enable our strategy and build the necessary business processes to deliver consistent performance.

“As we look forward, the market environment is mixed. We anticipate challenges within our European Industrial markets, slower than previously expected global semiconductor end markets, and moderating growth in some emerging markets. Other markets, though, will continue to grow in the current economic environment. Our current assumptions are generally consistent with our third quarter characterization which assumes low to mid-single digit local currency sales growth. On that basis in 2013, we expect pro forma EPS in the $3.05 to $3.25 range, reflecting 9% to 16% earnings per share growth. Included within our guidance is the assumption of 22 - 24 cents of adverse currency associated impact.

“We will provide further details regarding our expectations for fiscal year 2013 on our Q4 call.”

Notes to Release:

Lloyd Ritter, co-director of the AgEC, said, “Both the House and Senate Agriculture Committees have worked hard this year to move forward with fiscally responsible Farm Bills, and final passage is within reach. Passage of a five-year Farm Bill will provide necessary economic stability and confidence to agricultural producers and rural communities across the country. Inclusion of a strong Energy Title with mandatory funding will increase the economic opportunities in those rural communities.

“Farm Bill energy programs have helped the renewable energy industry create thousands of jobs across the country in rural communities where they are very much needed. They have also helped farmers put more than 160,000 acres of underutilized farmland across 12 states back into production. And they have helped hundreds of new American businesses generate 100,000 jobs producing home-grown biobased products. These effective programs are a vital part of the overall Farm Bill.”

The AgEC is a broad membership-based consortium of organizations and companies representing the entire spectrum of clean, renewable energy and bioproducts stakeholders. It includes members focused on biofeedstock production and conversion technologies, rural economic development and diversification, biofuel and renewable electricity production, biobased products, environmental protection, and others. Coalition members are committed to seeing a strong bi-partisan energy title in the 2012 farm bill that builds on the tremendous clean energy accomplishments USDA has already realized and provides resources to USDA at a level that enables them to continue and expand this important mission.

“Law firms face significant liability when confidential client or proprietary information is lost or compromised through targeted attacks by third parties”

Most professional liability policies respond to third-party privacy claims. However, they do not typically indemnify law firms for the first-party costs associated with a data breach. First-party coverage is imperative as these costs rise, the number of data breaches increases, and notification requirements imposed by state and Federal regulators become more comprehensive. ACE’s Privacy Protection policy provides this vital first-party coverage. With the addition of the Law Firm Privacy Protection endorsement, ACE offers a clear response to a claim that is presented in combination with a legal malpractice policy.

“Law firms face significant liability when confidential client or proprietary information is lost or compromised through targeted attacks by third parties,” said Toby Merrill, Vice President, ACE Professional Risk. “Given the recent modifications to Section 105A of the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct, which focuses on extending a lawyer’s obligations of confidentiality to electronic records and communications including the use of reasonable efforts to safeguard against unauthorized access, ACE provides a clear solution by tailoring this privacy coverage to supplement a law firm’s legal malpractice policy.”

ACE helps firms mitigate the financial and reputational risks associated with privacy breaches, covering first-party expenses and providing access to a suite of data breach specialists and other important benefits.

These benefits include:

• Access to the Data Breach Team, an independent panel of specialists in the legal, computer forensic, notification, call center, public relations, fraud consultation, credit monitoring, and identity restoration service areas
• Free access to the eRisk Hub^®, a web-based loss prevention resource containing information and technical resources to help policyholders manage their privacy and network risk
• Coverage for breaches of confidential corporate, consumer, and employee information
• Coverage for Wrongful Acts of Insured and its service providers
• Coverage for regulatory fines and penalties

In addition, the Law Firm Privacy Protection endorsement tailors the ACE Privacy Protection policy to address the specific exposures of a law firm. These include:

• No professional services exclusion
• Coverage written on a duty to pay versus duty to defend basis to align with many legal malpractice policies
• Amending the Other Insurance clause to follow excess over a law firm’s legal malpractice policy in order to provide a difference in conditions approach

When combined with the Law Firm Privacy Protection endorsement, ACE’s Privacy Protection policy bridges the gap between risk transfer and purchased loss control, creating a comprehensive risk management program for privacy, data breach, and network security risk.

“PSCA prides itself on keeping our members at the leading edge of important trends and innovations. SaverNation is one of the most innovative programs that could pave the way for participating employees to save for retirement.”

“Everyone in our industry has the same goal: to boost participation and contribution rates to levels that will enable all Americans to retire comfortably. Unfortunately, most employees simply can't afford to save more. With SaverNation, employees no longer have to choose between saving and spending,” stated Robinson. “I’m thrilled to introduce SaverNation to PSCA members and demonstrate how easy it is for sponsors to implement and employees to generate extra pretax contributions from their regular monthly spending.”

SaverNation gives employees cash back for their normal monthly purchases and automatically converts it to extra pre-tax 401(k) contributions. More than 600 merchants, including nearly every national brand, participate in the program and give employees an average of 5% cash back on every online purchase. The SaverNation Program is a plan design feature that works with any workplace retirement plan.

“PSCA is excited to have Marc introduce SaverNation to our members,” said Bob Benish, Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer of PSCA. “PSCA prides itself on keeping our members at the leading edge of important trends and innovations. SaverNation is one of the most innovative programs that could pave the way for participating employees to save for retirement.”

The PSCA Conference is focused on helping Americans retire better with news on plan trends and features, legislative updates, and presentations tailored to the unique needs of small, mid-sized, and large plans. The event is held September 11-14, 2012 at the Roosevelt Hotel, New Orleans, LA.

About SaverNation

SaverNation solves the number one reason people don’t save enough for retirement: they can’t afford to. SaverNation is the first cash back program for 401(k) and other workplace retirement plans. This national program is the result of a joint effort from independent pension, payroll, and loyalty marketing experts, such as Dallas Salisbury of EBRI, Bruce Ashton of Drinker Biddle & Reath, Brian Graff of ASPPA, and Dan Maddux of the American Payroll Association. SaverNation generates cash back from everyday purchases and converts it into extra pre-tax plan contributions, automatically.

About the PSCA

PSCA has been on the forefront of protecting America’s retirement system. PSCA assists more than six million plan participants and provides its members with programs and services to help them better manage their company’s retirement plans.

“Insignis is already capturing the required data on behalf of existing clients, so our Dodd-Frank solution merely expands upon the data capture services we have traditionally performed.”

Insignis CEO, Hal Sullivan, notes: “While the vast majority of swap owners will not be designated as MSPs or MSBSPs, all swap owners will still have to test the daily positions, exposure amounts, and ISDA terms to prove they have not exceeded specified thresholds. Even if reporting exemptions apply, swap owners must still perform a number of complex computations.” Sullivan continues, “The type of information – swap data, collateral data, and collateral agreements – that must be captured daily in order to perform the mandated tests, and the breadth of data sources can make compliance an enormous burden for swap owners, particularly for large defined benefit plans, foundations, and endowments.”

“We have been collecting complex derivatives data, including swaps, for many years,” states Insignis’ SVP Key Account Management, Suzanne Streitz. According to Streitz, compliance with the MSP/MSBSP requirements involves a multitude of data points, including: identification of regulator, classification of asset rollup group, identification of forward exposure multipliers, ISDA (International Swaps and Derivatives Association) and CSA (Credit Support Annex) terms, as well as notional amounts, collateral amounts, and mark-to-market values; “Insignis is already capturing the required data on behalf of existing clients, so our Dodd-Frank solution merely expands upon the data capture services we have traditionally performed.”

Insignis Inc., a leader in investment portfolio data services and data management since 1985, collects data from multiple and disparate providers, including investment managers, custodians, broker/dealers, collateral agents, and institutional investment entities in support of its many service areas. The processes are secure, fully automated and run in Insignis’ SSAE 16 certified private cloud facility.

MFS High Yield Municipal Trust (CMU)

--$3,900,000 of ARPS, series F.

--$71,100,000 of VMTP shares, series 2016/9, due Sept. 30, 2016.

MFS Investment Grade Municipal Trust (CXH)

--$825,000 of ARPS, series M.

--$47,925,000 of VMTP shares, series 2016/9, due Sept. 30, 2016.

KEY RATING DRIVERS

The 'AAA' long-term ratings primarily reflect:

--Sufficient asset coverage provided to the preferred shares as calculated per the funds' over-collateralization (OC) tests.

--The structural protections afforded by mandatory de-leveraging provisions in the event of asset coverage declines.

--The legal and regulatory parameters that govern the funds' operations.

--The capabilities of MFS Investment Management as investment advisor.

TENDER OFFER

The funds conducted a tender offer to redeem outstanding ARPS at 95% of the ARPS liquidation preference. 94.8% of CMU's $75,000,000 of ARPS, and 98.3% of CXH's $48,750,000 of ARPS were tendered, and will be redeemed using proceeds from the issuance of VMTP shares.

ASSET COVERAGE

The funds' asset coverage ratios for the preferred shares, as calculated in accordance with the Investment Company Act of 1940, were in excess of the minimum threshold of 225% required by the VMTP governing documents (Preferred Shares Asset Coverage Test).

The funds' effective leverage ratios were below the 45% maximum allowed by the VMTP governing documents (Effective Leverage Test).

The funds' asset coverage ratios, as calculated in accordance with the Fitch total and net OC tests per the 'AAA' rating guidelines outlined in Fitch's criteria, were in excess of 100%, which is the minimum threshold required by the ARPS governing documents.

Should the funds' asset coverage tests decline below their minimum threshold amounts, the governing documents' mandatory redemption provisions will require the fund to cure the tests or redeem the affected liabilities in a sufficient amount to restore compliance with the applicable test(s).

STRESS TESTS

Fitch performed various stress tests on the funds to assess the strength of the structural protections available to the VMTP Shares compared to the rating stresses outlined in Fitch's closed-end fund rating criteria. These tests included determining various 'worst case' scenarios where the funds' leverage and portfolio composition migrated to the outer limits of the funds' operating and investment guidelines.

Only under remote circumstances did the asset coverage available to the VMTP Shares fall below the 'AAA' threshold, and instead passed at an 'AA' rating level.

Given the highly unlikely nature of the stress scenarios, and the minimal rating impact, Fitch views the funds' permitted investments, municipal issuer diversification framework and mandatory deleveraging mechanisms as consistent with an 'AAA' rating.

THE FUNDS

The funds are closed-end management investment companies regulated by the Investment Company Act of 1940. The funds are currently invested primarily in investment grade quality municipal bonds.

MFS Investment Management, a subsidiary of Sun Life Financial Inc., is the funds' investment advisor, responsible for the funds' overall investment strategies and their implementation. MFS Investment Management had approximately $293 billion of assets under management as of Aug. 31, 2012.

RATINGS SENSITIVITY

The ratings assigned to the ARPS and VMTP shares may be sensitive to material changes in the leverage composition, portfolio credit quality, portfolio diversification or market risk of the funds. A material adverse deviation from Fitch guidelines for any key rating driver could cause ratings to be lowered by Fitch.

The funds have the ability to assume economic leverage through derivative transactions which may not be captured by the funds' Preferred Shares Asset Coverage tests or Effective Leverage Ratios. Material derivative exposure on a speculative basis in the future could have potential negative rating implications if it adversely affects asset coverage available to rated preferred shares.

Additional information is available at 'www.fitchratings.com'. The ratings above were solicited by, or on behalf of, the issuer, and therefore, Fitch has been compensated for the provision of the ratings.

“I am pleased by the sharp focus throughout our entire organization on improving sales, margins and profits over the past year”

For the second quarter ended June 29, 2012, the company reported net income of $842,583, or $.01 per share, based on 59.15 million basic and 63.99 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding. For the comparable year-ago period, the company reported net income of $669,742, or $.01 per share, based on 57.30 million basic and 61.77 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

Command Center has now reported 12-month trailing earnings of $2.77 million, or about $.043 per share on a fully diluted basis.

For the twenty-six week period ended June 29, 2012, Command Center reported total revenue of $43.36 million, an increase of 18.2% on revenue of $36.68 million for the twenty-six week period ended July 1, 2011. Net income for the six months was $281,087, or $.00 per share, compared with a net loss of $1,631,694, or ($.03) per share in the same period last year.

The company said gross profit margin improved to 24.8% and 24.6% in the second quarter and first half of 2012, respectively, versus 23.3% and 21.6% in the like year-ago periods. SG&A expenses were 20.8% of revenue in the second quarters of both this and the prior year, and 21.6% and 23.7% of revenue for the first six-month periods of 2012 and 2011, respectively. Workers’ compensation expense was 4.4% and 5.5% of revenue for the twenty-six weeks of 2012 and 2011, respectively.

“I am pleased by the sharp focus throughout our entire organization on improving sales, margins and profits over the past year,” said Command Center Chairman and CEO Glenn Welstad. “Strong organic sales growth at the branch level in the second quarter and first half of 2012 has been augmented by an increase in our coverage of the Bakken Region of North Dakota, as well as the increase in restoration activities of Disaster Recovery Services, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary. We expect these positive trends to continue and have positioned Command Center for even stronger growth in the second half of this year and beyond.”

The company recently announced it had opened, or was in the process of opening, a total of seven new branch offices in six different states. This move is expected to accelerate its expansion and create greater visibility for the company nationwide.

“We truly believe that healthy is the new beautiful and this was showcased through our engagement with athletes and consumers around the world during London 2012”

From Saudi Arabia sending female athletes to the Olympic Games for the first time in the country’s history to the first time that U.S. female athletes outnumbered male, female athletes dominated the conversation during the 17-day competition. Pantene proudly sponsored 10 of these elite London competitors as beauty ambassadors, including the U.S.’s Natalie Coughlin, Argentina’s Gisela Dulko and Great Britain’s Victoria Pendleton.

“The London 2012 Olympic Games were a milestone for women in sports: every country’s delegation included at least one female athlete and every sport included both male and female competitions,” explained Kathryn Olson, CEO of the U.S.-based Women’s Sports Foundation which focuses on advancing the lives of girls and women through sports and physical activity. “Pantene’s prominent support for women’s sports throughout the competition has greatly helped raise visibility for the strength, talent, and beauty female athletes possess. Pantene and its beauty ambassadors are also helping to raise awareness for the relationship between sports and health, revealing the beauty of strong female athletes in a context that’s encouraging to young girls who need good role models in sports and in life.”

In London, the Pantene beauty ambassadors won more than 12 medals in six sports, including four gold. Russia’s rhythmic gymnast Evgeniya Kanaeva shined before the world with a gold medal. China’s diver Wu Minxia mounted the podium winning a gold medal. Great Britain’s cyclist Victoria Pendleton topped the competition at her final Olympic Games with one gold and one silver medal. The group proved the message that “healthy is the new beautiful” and were also featured in Pantene’s first truly global marketing campaign to support the Olympic Games, which featured new packaging and a fully integrated marketing campaign which lived across multiple channels.

“As this is my last Olympic Games, I am so proud to have been a part of this landmark year for female athletes,” said Pantene athlete and London 2012 gold and silver medal winner Victoria Pendleton. “I am passionate about inspiring young women and as a part of Pantene’s beauty campaign I am able to share the message that healthy is the new beautiful. Hopefully our performances will serve as inspiration for future generations of female athletes, and I am thankful that Pantene was there to support me.”

“We truly believe that healthy is the new beautiful and this was showcased through our engagement with athletes and consumers around the world during London 2012,” said Hanneke Faber, Vice President and Brand Franchise Leader, Global Haircare at P&G. “We have seen tremendous continued support of this concept since its launch earlier this year. Our Olympians were able to see firsthand how Pantene’s performance allowed them to concentrate on their athletic performance and how the product stands up to the rigors of competing in The Olympics. We provided these women and the more than 10,000 London athletes and their families with healthy, beautiful hair through our salons at the P&G Family Home and in the Athlete Village. We are so proud of our Pantene athlete ambassadors, whose gold medal count of four placed them in the same company of the top 20 countries that participated in the Olympic Games.”

With the London 2012 Olympic Games being considered the first truly “social games,” Pantene’s online engagement resulted in connections to more than 1.5 million people over the last month to showcase the brand’s “Healthy is the New Beautiful” message.

The Pantene campaign leading up to and during London 2012 was part of P&G’s Worldwide Olympic Partner status, which was anchored by the ‘Thank You, Mom’ campaign for the London 2012 Olympic Games. P&G’s “Thank you, Mom” campaign helped improve life for moms around the world and provided support for the moms of the Pantene athletes and the moms of thousands of other Olympians. Looking forward to the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games, the brand will continue its support of athletes.

“Daegis’ ability to natively process and produce Lotus Notes files, as well as its integrated approach to handling non-email files, enables our firm to deliver a defensible, timely and cost effective solution to our clients.”

“By leveraging Daegis’ proven technologies and methodologies for Lotus Notes, we can achieve significant eDiscovery efficiencies, which we can pass on to our clients,” said Deanna Blomquist, Group Leader, Client Technology Solutions at Faegre Baker Daniels. “Daegis’ ability to natively process and produce Lotus Notes files, as well as its integrated approach to handling non-email files, enables our firm to deliver a defensible, timely and cost effective solution to our clients.”

The Daegis eDiscovery Platform is the only solution on the market capable of processing non-email Lotus Notes files such as TeamRoom, Document Libraries or custom business applications. Daegis has developed unique tools and workflows which ensure non-email NSF files are processed accurately and defensibly. In addition to saving time and money for clients, Daegis helps mitigate risk by ensuring critical metadata and attachments are not lost or altered during ingestion, which can lead to delays in processing data.

“As the amount of electronically stored information continues to grow, businesses and their outside counsel are facing complex challenges around the processing, storage, and review of data collected from Lotus Notes, which remains a popular collaboration platform for email, calendaring and other business functions,” said Doug Stewart, Director of Technology at Daegis. “When eDiscovery involves data from customizable sources like Lotus Notes, it becomes even more important to streamline the eDiscovery process and keep down the costs associated with conversion while preventing against the loss or corruption of responsive information.”

Daegis and Faegre Baker Daniels will be hosting a webinar on Lotus Notes and eDiscovery: Maximizing Efficiencies, Wed., August 15, 2012 at 11 a.m. PT. For more information, click here. To read the case study on Faegre Baker Daniels, click here.
