Perficient Acquires JCB Partners, LLC

"A four-time winner of IBM's Cognos Partner of the Year Award, JCB is a recognized enterprise performance management consulting leader," said Jeffrey Davis, Perficient's chief executive officer and president. "They bring a proven track record and solid client roster to Perficient while helping us expand our presence in key markets."

"The addition of JCB further strengthens Perficient's position as one of the leading business intelligence and enterprise performance management consulting firms in the country," said Kathy Henely, Perficient's chief operating officer. "It increases our access to CFO suites, is a great complement to our business consulting offerings and presents a strong opportunity for pull-through of additional development, implementation and integration services."

The acquisition of JCB also:

• Increases Perficient's market presence in the Denver, Chicago and Northern and Southern California markets;
• Adds 70 consulting, technology, sales and support professionals; and
• Adds client relationships with enterprise customers including Abbott, Aon, Arthur Gallagher, BCBS Association, Best Buy, Carter's, Crocs, Del Monte Foods, DirecTV, GE, Genentech, Kaiser Permanente Quiznos, Ruth's Chris, Sony and many others.

JCB partners J-P Contreras and Bob Hardin will join Perficient in leadership roles within the IBM EPM national business unit, reporting directly to John Jenkins, vice-president of Perficient's IBM business group.

"Perficient is widely regarded as one of the finest IBM Premier business partners in the country," said Contreras. "We've admired their work, growth and reputation for many years and this transaction accelerates our collective opportunity to become the leading IBM Business Analytics consulting firm in the country."

The consideration paid in the transaction is approximately $18.0 million and includes $12.6 million in cash and approximately $5.4 million worth of Perficient common stock (based on the average closing price of Perficient's common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market for the thirty trading days immediately preceding the acquisition close per the terms of the acquisition agreement). The purchase price consideration is subject to working capital adjustments. The consideration included the issuance by Perficient of an aggregate of 97,755 shares of Perficient restricted stock to former JCB employees J-P Contreras, Bob Hardin, Erik Duffield, Mark Hatting and Dominic Sagar. The grants vest in 20% increments annually over a 5-year period. If the recipient is not employed by Perficient for any reason during the 5-year period, then any unvested shares will be forfeited.

Randy Grigg, Managing Partner of Ridgecrest Advisors, advised Perficient on the transaction in his capacity as a registered investment banking agent of Burch & Company, Inc.
