Two CI Capital Partners Portfolio Companies, A-T Solutions and American Residential Services, Complete New Acquisitions

"Both the A-T Solutions and ARS transactions reflect CI Capital's longtime strategy of partnering with high-caliber management teams in growing businesses operating in large and fragmented markets," said Frederick Iseman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CI Capital. "We are able to help these businesses evolve to the next level, providing them with the benefits of being part of a larger organization."

"Our role is to work with management teams to plan and implement strategies that position companies for growth," said Steven Lefkowitz, President of CI Capital. "Both the A-T Solutions and ARS management teams have done an excellent job of managing growth while continuing to deliver products and services of the highest quality to their clients."

A-T Solutions Acquires Trancite Logic Systems

A-T Solutions Inc., based in Fredericksburg, Va., acquired Trancite Logic Systems, an information technology company based in Boise, Idaho, that specializes in anti-terrorism technology solutions for federal, state and local law enforcement organizations. The transaction is the second acquisition A-T Solutions has made within the past four months.

"Our first investment in the government services space, Anteon International, was successful because Anteon quickly became recognized as a leading provider of government technology services," said Joost Thesseling, a Principal at CI Capital. "We are delighted to support A-T Solutions as it continues to enhance its leadership position and expand its global security solutions offerings."

"We're very excited to secure a long-term, strategic business alignment with our key partner of the last five years," said Ken Falke, A-T Solutions CEO. "Trancite's team has repeatedly demonstrated superior performance and delivered industry-leading technology solutions to the DoD, DHS and law enforcement marketplace."

Trancite Logic Systems will be integrated into the Technology Solutions business unit within A-T Solutions. Together, the companies will be able to provide customers with a complete and comprehensive suite of cutting-edge and relevant IT products and services as part of the combined organization's global security solutions. Trancite Logic Systems CEO Joshua Evarts will take on a new position as A-T Solutions' first chief innovation officer, responsible for driving innovation throughout company systems and services.

In June, A-T Solutions acquired Accelligence LLC, a Vienna, Va.-based firm providing intelligence and mission-focused solutions to organizations within the U.S. government and intelligence community.

American Residential Services Acquires Efficient Attic Systems

American Residential Services L.L.C. (ARS), a nationwide provider of air conditioning, heating and plumbing services operating under the ARS and Rescue Rooter brands, has acquired Dallas-based Efficient Attic Systems (EAS), an energy-efficiency solutions provider offering blown-in insulation, attic ventilation and high-tech radiant barrier services. The transaction marks ARS' fourteenth acquisition and first service line expansion.

"ARS has made remarkable progress in implementing its strategy of growth through acquisitions in the fragmented home services sector," said Thomas Ritchie, a Principal at CI Capital. "By providing what are often smaller, local businesses with membership in a growing, national network, ARS provides these businesses with the benefits of shared services such as volume purchasing, enhanced employee compensation programs and access to new product and service offerings. We are very pleased to continue to support ARS as it continues its successful expansion."

"An important part of the HVAC business involves improving energy efficiency in the home," said Dave Slott, ARS/Rescue Rooter president and chief operating officer. "The sales and service of energy-efficient products is a growing focus of our business, as customers are very concerned with lowering their energy bills." Slott added, "EAS is a leading-edge business with outstanding customer service, and we are excited to be aligned with their operation."

EAS is best known for its Energy Efficient Attic program, which is designed to save consumers up to 30 percent on their energy bills. The Energy Efficient Attic program integrates three proven energy-saving techniques (proper attic insulation, balanced attic ventilation and spray-on radiant barrier) into a single solution.

EAS was founded in 2002 and has grown rapidly, professionally retrofitting homes in five markets: Dallas, Austin, Houston, San Antonio and Phoenix. ARS/Rescue Rooter intends to expand the Energy Efficient Attic program through its existing business locations across the country.
