CMGI Expects 12 Portfolio Firms to Go Public in Next 12 Months Bloomberg News April 27, 1999, 5:00 p.m. PT CMGI Expects 12 Portfolio Firms to Go Public in Next 12 Months San Francisco, April 27 (Bloomberg) -- CMGI Inc. Chairman and Chief Executive David Wetherell said he expects about a dozen companies in his Internet-venture fund company's portfolio to go public in the next 12 months. Engage Technologies, which makes online marketing software to help identify Web audiences, and Silknet Software Inc., which makes software for online marketing and customer relations, are two of the candidates for initial public offerings. Recently, Critical Path Inc., of which CMGI owned 7 percent, went public. Andover, Massachusetts-based CMGI had a 4,622 percent cumulative return on realized investments of its At Ventures fund as of yesterday, said Wetherell, speaking at the Hambrecht & Quist Technology conference in San Francisco. Wetherell declined to comment on the status of potential bidders for Lycos Inc., the No. 3 Internet search directory, which agreed to be acquired by USA Networks Inc. to build an electronic-commerce powerhouse. CMGI owns about 20 percent of Lycos. Wetherell quit Lycos's board in March because he thought the terms of the combination were inadequate. USA Networks Chief Executive Barry Diller wants to combine Lycos with his home- shopping and other electronic-retail businesses, and give Lycos shareholders 30 percent of the new combined company. Wetherell hired Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co. to seek other buyers. Waltham, Massachusetts-based Lycos rose 4 3/16 to 100 15/16, while CMGI fell 12 7/8 to 268 1/8.
