                            Disposal of OilCareers

Evenbase, dmg media's digital recruitment business, has disposed of the
specialist recruitment job board, OilCareers, to Dice Holdings, Inc. for US$26
million.

Kevin Beatty, CEO of dmg media, said: "OilCareers has grown successfully since
Evenbase acquired the business in 2008, achieving US$8 million of revenue in
the year to September 2013. OilCareers and Dice Holdings' Rigzone, a market
leader in delivering online content, data, advertising and career services in
the oil and gas industry, are complementary businesses and the strategic fit
will better position OilCareers for further growth."
