Analyst Update: Inclusion in Index, Upcoming Earnings, Publication of Studies, and Appointments

Reviewed by: Rohit Tuli, CFA(R)

The US stock markets closed on a mixed note on Thursday. The Nasdaq rose for a seventh straight session boosted by a rally of 8.5% in the Priceline Group shares. The Dow and the S&P 500 on the other hand eased following declines in energy shares and a disappointing outlook from Wal-Mart. Uncertainty over prospects of a debt deal with Greece added to investor caution. Dow Jones Industrial Average closed down 44.08 points, or 0.24%, at 17,985.77; S&P 500 closed down 2.23 points, or 0.11%, at 2,097.45; while the Nasdaq closed up 18.34 points, or 0.37%, at 4,924.70. Europe's stock rally lost steam on Thursday, with a benchmark index retreating from a seven-year high, after Germany rejected a new proposal from Athens for an extension of its bailout programme. The German finance ministry described the Greek proposal as "not a substantial solution" because it failed to fulfill the conditions of an EU/IMF bailout programme. In Asia, the Nikkei rose to a 15-year high following better-than-expected export data, while trade in the rest of Asia was quiet with several markets closed for Lunar New Year.

Newtek Business Services Corp. (Newtek Business Services) announced that it was included in the Wells Fargo Business Development Company Index. Formed in 2011, the Index is a float-adjusted, capitalization-weighted index that measures the performance of all business development companies (BDC) listed on the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ and satisfy specified market capitalization and other eligibility requirements.

Onvia, Inc. (Onvia) has scheduled to release its Q4 and full-year 2014 financial results on Tuesday, February 24, 2015, after market closes. The earnings release will be followed by a conference call to discuss the results on the same day at 4:30 p.m. ET.

PDI, Inc.'s (PDI) subsidiary Interpace Diagnostics announced that the results of the pivotal PancraGen(TM) multicenter clinical validation study have been published in the February 2015 issue of Endoscopy. The study concluded that PancraGen (formerly PathFinderTG(R)-Pancreas) is 90% accurate at predicting benign and malignant disease in patients with pancreatic cysts.

Perfect World Co., Ltd.'s (Perfect World) special committee of the Board of Directors has retained China Renaissance Securities (Hong Kong) Limited and Duff & Phelps as its financial advisors and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP as its legal counsel for review and evaluation of the preliminary non-binding proposal letter dated December 31, 2014 from Mr. Michael Yufeng Chi, the Company's founder and chairman of the Board, to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Perfect World not currently owned by him in a going private transaction (the "Proposal").
