About WICKS Business Information (WBi)

We are pleased to announce that on July 9, 2007, Summit Business Media, LLC, a leading business-to-business media and information company serving the insurance, financial and professional services markets, acquired Wicks Business Information.

As a result of the acquisition, Summit Business Media will now publish Investment Advisor, Credit Union Times, InsideCounsel and Treasury & Risk magazines, as well as websites, custom publishing projects and an array of live events. Our Executive Enterprises seminar unit also produces more than 100 courses each year, serving the specialized continuing education and training needs of accountants, lawyers and tax professionals.

Our operations will join Summit's Highline Media unit, led by Andrew L. Goodenough, President of Highline. John Whelan, the Vice President and Group Publisher of WBI, will report to Thomas A. Fowler, Executive Vice President of Highline's Magazine Division, while the EEI and events businesses will report to James M. Keefe, Senior Vice President of Highline's Conference Division. Douglas J. Manoni, WBI's CEO, will be leaving the company after a transition period.

We are looking forward to becoming part of the Summit Business Media family and are confident that our products will continue to be recognized as leaders in their respective markets and flourish under the direction of the Highline Media team.
