Additional Information:
Outerwall provides automated retail solutions. Its Redbox segment owns and operates approximately 40,480 Redbox kiosks in 33,060 locations that enable consumers to rent or purchase movies and video games.

On July 25, 2016, Outerwall announced it had signed a definitive merger agreement with Apollo. Under the terms of the agreement, Outerwall stockholders will receive $52.00 per share in cash.
