KippsDeSanto & Co. Advises TechniGraphics, Inc. on Its Sale to CACI International Inc.

KippsDeSanto & Co. is pleased to send you the attached press release announcing the acquisition of our client, TechniGraphics, Inc. (“TechniGraphics”), by CACI International Inc. (“CACI”). CACI acquired TechniGraphics to deepen its geospatial intelligence (“GEOINT”) capabilities and expand its presence within Intelligence Community (“IC”) customers. The transaction closed on November 1st, 2010.

Headquartered in Wooster, Ohio, with significant operations in Fort Collins, Colorado, and Madrid, Spain, TechniGraphics is a leading provider of visual information solutions to the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (“NGA”), the Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”), and foreign ministries of defense. The Company is widely acknowledged as a leader in data capture and conversion, verification and validation, and 3-D content and analysis solutions, providing customers with high quality, rectified imagery and mission-critical digital map data. Furthermore, the Company’s holistic service approach, discriminating intellectual property, extensive training program, and deep-rooted customer relationships provide for an ideal GEOINT platform in today’s attractive NGA contracting environment.

We believe this transaction demonstrates several key trends in the government services M&A environment:

• Large contractors are aggressively looking to penetrate IC mission areas by acquiring in-demand capabilities, entrenched customer relationships, and proprietary know-how.

• Heightened customer focus on GEOINT solutions and their increasing role in intelligence initiatives – further evidenced by several large NGA contract opportunities, both announced and upcoming, that will be central to imagery, mapping, and analysis efforts.

• Key positions on long-term, mission-critical IC contract vehicles / programs can be significant for sellers seeking premium valuations and favorable terms.

• Revenue visibility, robust margins, and solid reputation remain at the forefront of industry acquisition criteria.
