Industry consolidation among federal government contractors, already an established trend, promises to continue due to the expanding array of options for growth and liquidity capital.  Private equity groups (PEGs) have been investing in government contractors for several years; recently, special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) and reverse mergers have emerged on the scene.

 

What do these developments mean for federal contractors looking to:

·         acquire,

·         sell their company,

·         raise capital, or

·         achieve greater liquidity for their shares? 

 

We have assembled an expert panel to offer insights and perspectives on this question:

·         Peter Schulte, a founder and Managing Partner of CM Equity Partners, a PEG that invests in government services companies, and President of Federal Services Acquisition Corp., New York, NY, a SPAC that completed its IPO in October 2005

·         Tom McMillen, Chairman of Fortress America Acquisition Corp., Arlington, VA, a SPAC focused on homeland security that completed its IPO in July 2005

·         Terry Collins, Chairman, CEO and President of Argon ST, Fairfax, VA, a publicly traded firm that went public via reverse merger with Sensytech in September 2004

·         William J. Mutryn, a partner in the Washington, D.C. office of law firm Holland & Knight who co-manages the firm’s national M&A practice.

 

Opening Presentation:  Alan Chvotkin, Senior Vice President and Counsel, Professional Services Council.  PSC is the nation’s leading organization dedicated to the interests of companies that provide professional services to federal government clients.

 

Moderator:  Chuck Chappell, Director, Washington Operations, Minuteman Ventures LLC, an investment bank providing M&A services to the federal, defense, intelligence and homeland security sectors.
