BRANFORD CASTLE PARTNERS

A LEADER IN LOWER MIDDLE-MARKET BUY-OUTS SINCE 1986

Founded by John K. Castle, the Chairman & CEO of Castle Harlan, Inc., the global LBO firm. Branford
Castle is excited to work with management teams but can also acquire companies where
management will not be part of the company post-transaction. In four recent portfolio company
divestitures, senior management made 8x, 12x, 30x and 45x their roll-over investment.

We seek the following “platform / stand-alone” investments:
• EBITDA up to $15MM • Leader in a Niche Industry
• Majority Control (51%+) • North America-based

Areas of specific interest for new investments include:
• Specialty Manufacturing/Industrials • Business Services
• Consumer Goods & Services • Transportation & Infrastructure

We typically avoid investments in Cannabis, High Technology, Biotech, Fashion and Retail.
