CHAIRMAN’S LETTER










                       Welcome



                       On behalf of the Houston, Dallas / Fort Worth, and Austin / San Antonio chapters of the Association
                       for Corporate Growth, welcome to the 2020 Texas ACG Capital Connection (“TACC”).  Now in its 17th
                       year, TACC continues to be one of the premier middle market-focused M&A events in North America.
                       We have further raised the bar for this year’s conference with a record-breaking 112 private equity
                       exhibitors, 42 middle market investment bank sponsors and 42 conference sponsors.


                       Our singular goal today is to help you connect with dealmakers so you can source and close your
                       next deal. The signature event of TACC is the Capital Connection Marketplace, which provides
                       conference attendees direct access to 112 of the country’s premier middle market private equity,
                       family office and mezzanine capital groups. There will also be opportunities to network with leading
                       investment bankers, attorneys, accountants, lenders, business owners, CEOs, CFOs, corporate
                       development executives and other M&A professionals from across Texas and beyond. We encourage
                       you to take full advantage of the day to network, share ideas, and most importantly, put capital to
                       work.


                       We would like to thank our exhibitors and sponsors for their generous support of this conference.
                       The continued commitment to TACC by these important members of the M&A community is further
                       evidence of the importance of Texas in the North American M&A market. Finally, thank you to all
                       of the members of the conference planning committee, volunteers, and regional ACG chapter
                       leadership for their dedication and hard work; without them, TACC would not be the success that it is.


                       The stage is set for you to have a valuable and productive conference experience. Enjoy all the TACC
                       activities, and we look forward to seeing you throughout the conference.


                       Sincerely,
                       Colt Luedde
