M&A SOUTH 2024 CHAIRMAN’S WELCOME Welcome to M&A SOUTH! By participating in the 22nd year of the conference, you are now part of the premier sourcing, networking, and educational event for dealmakers across the Southeastern U.S. The planning committee has been working hard since August to assemble another great conference for the M&A community. We are excited to provide an opportunity for participants and sponsors to both fill their pipelines and sharpen their expertise through speakers, panels, and bite-sized content sessions. Thank you for your attendance and support this year!

We are thrilled to be returning to the Hotel at Avalon and Convention Center. This “Sip & Stroll” community allows us to leave the convention center hall and provide meaningful conversations and connections throughout the property. For additional meeting spaces, we have invested in an outdoor tented space to provide attendees with a covered, outdoor gathering space adjacent to the main ballroom.

We hope that you were able to join us on January 11th for our preview event with Scott Deviney, CEO of Chicken Salad Chick, and Max Oligario, the Georgia Market Executive at Bank of America. This kickstarted our event and the momentum continues with our outstanding lineup of speakers and thought leaders for this event, including our Keynote Conversation with Dan Corso, John Kristick, and Dale Murphy. During the conference, we will have panels and breakout sessions on key topics including ESG, AI, and our ever-popular Debt Market Update and Deal Trends panel. We encourage you to block these times on your calendar for takeaways for your business and clients.

We will open the conference on the afternoon of February 5th with networking and meetings. The Dealmaker’s Lounge and the Exhibit Hall will be open for all attendees. The evening will bring together all conference attendees and sponsors for a wonderful cocktail reception sponsored by NowCFO & Human Interest. Hors d’oeuvres and cocktails will provide a perfect opportunity for networking before heading out for plans the night may hold for you.

Tuesday, February 6th will be a packed day! Listening to feedback from prior years, we have a balance of expanded meeting times while still producing relevant and timely content sessions. Our meeting spaces open at 7:00 AM to maximize meeting times. The formal schedule begins at 7:30 AM with our Emerging Leaders Breakfast. Our speaker

will share takeaways for those new to the industry on the importance of building networks and how to generate a book of business. n lieu of a formal Capital Connection and Reverse Capital Connection event, we instead encourage you to schedule the meetings that are most impactful for you.

During this time, investment banks and mezzanine capital sources will be exhibitors while the private equity groups, corporate development officers, and other attendees will have the opportunity to obtain insights on prospective deal flow in 2024 and beyond.

Our opening session on Tuesday begins at 9:30 AM with a welcome from ACG CEO Brent Baxter, ACG Atlanta, and Platinum sponsor, Bank of America. Our main stage will be filled with a fireside chat with Atlanta Sports Council’s Dan Corso, John Kristick of PlayFly Sports, and Atlanta Braves Legend and Georgia Oak Partners Managing Director Dale Murphy. They will be discussing how the South is winning big in securing major sporting events and what the investment landscape looks like in professional teams, events, and more.

Following the Keynote, our set of content highlights what is driving value in the many Franchise deals attendees are seeing, ESG, AI, as well as our annual update M&A Deal Trends and Debt Market Updates. Our panelists and speakers are sure to deliver great information for you to take back to your clients, customers, and portfolio companies. Following the content and meetings, RSM is hosting a twilight reception on the Pool Terrace. Wind down with cocktails and apps before heading out for the evening.

On the morning of Wednesday, February 9th, we will have breakfast and ALL exhibitors will have their dedicated meeting tables for the morning to continue meetings until 11:30 AM. We hope that you will spend some time in the evenings at our beautiful venue at Avalon. South City Kitchen, Rumi’s Kitchen, Oak Steakhouse, and Ford Fry’s Superica are some of the best restaurants in the city. Avalon is an open-container community, so feel free to hop around and explore the many wonderful nightlife options the community has to offer. None of this would be possible without our loyal sponsors, many of whom have supported this event for more than a decade.

On behalf of the M&A SOUTH Committee and ACG Atlanta, I hope you will find this event a great way to build your pipeline for 2024.

Welcome.

Laura Shen Chair, M&A SOUTH 2024

A WORD FROM THE ACG ATLANTA CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD Welcome! Thank you for attending the 22nd annual M&A South conference. The ACG Atlanta Board of Directors, 2024 M&A South Chair Laura Shen, and I look forward to hearing about your experience at the premier dealmaking conference in the South. We expect you’ll come away with new business opportunities and valuable additions to your professional networks. We also imagine you’ll enjoy the Southern hospitality onsite at Avalon.

ACG’s global mission is to drive middle-market growth. Our organization is comprised of more than 14,500 global members, and Atlanta is one of the largest chapters. We consistently hear that the M&A South conference is an essential start to each New Year. It serves as a key connection point for the local and national deal-making community, with deal professionals traveling to Atlanta from throughout the United States. We hear stories every year of the positive impact the relationships built at this conference have on our attendees’ business prospects and careers, and it’s my hope that this year’s conference delivers that for you again.

M&A South is one of many opportunities for ACG Atlanta members to network with the “Who’s Who” of the Atlanta business community. With a membership comprised of corporate leaders, investors, and advisors that serve the middle market, the benefits of exchanging ideas, opportunities, and growth strategies with decision-makers abound.

For example, our Pathways series fosters information sharing, education, inclusion, and access among minority groups in the middle market. We host signature events such as the ACG Atlanta Georgia Fast 40 Celebration, honoring Georgia’s 40 Fastest-Growing Companies, and the Taste of ACG Atlanta, which offers networking with wine and food from some of Atlanta’s best purveyors. We are even adding a new event this year, the INAUGURAL Atlanta DealSource at Truist Park prior to the Braves-Mets game on September 24th. If you’re not already a member of ACG Atlanta, we ask that you consider joining, attending our events throughout the year, and volunteering on a committee. We cannot host such amazing events without the tremendous work performed by our chapter leaders and volunteers.

Thank you again for attending M&A South. Please enjoy your time in Atlanta and have an amazing 2024.

Very truly yours, Colby Schwartz Chair of the Board, ACG Atlanta

Premier Buyside Investment Banking Services We specialize in an acquisition search process which we have refined since 1988 and can be applied to any industry. We believe that a search can only be as successful as the target list to be prospected. A very important competitive advantage is our wholly owned research division in Delhi India, employing 25 degreed professionals who utilize the most sophisticated computing and internet access infrastructure. Buyside acquisition search firms generally subscribe to the same private company databases but these databases only capture approximately 75% of the private companies in the U.S. and Canada.

While we utilize what we think are the most optimal public databases, our research division bridges the gap between the databases available to everyone, and our comprehensive and inclusive list of targets for each retained search that include close to every private company in any given sector. Our deal origination consultants, who are responsible for the shareholder outreach on our retained searches, are trained to be professionally persistent in effectively communicating our clients interest in their industry and company and presenting them as a superior choice when considering their liquidity options.

Growth Operators | Management Consultants Profile General Information Description Over a decade ago, Growth Operators® built a new kind of advisory firm. We believed too many middle market companies lacked the finance, accounting, and human resources capabilities to promote growth and scalability. Having spent our careers in industry as leaders who built these functions for great companies, we decided to leave our industry careers and create a firm that is 100% focused on helping middle market companies build great finance, accounting, and human resources functions. Why? Because we believe you can build a good company without strong finance and HR capabilities, but you can’t build a great one. And why build something good when you can build something great?

Growth Operators is a private equity-focused finance, accounting and HR consulting and advisory firm based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. We cater to PE-sponsored companies in the middle market - where finance, accounting and HR are chronically under-resourced and not adding value. Our professionals (“Growth Pros”) have deep hands-on leadership and management experience spanning over two dozen industries. We serve our clients as interim or fractional finance, accounting, and HR executives and/or managers, or as consultants and advisors on specific projects and initiatives. We are industry agnostic, but we have deep experience in Health Care & Life Sciences, Manufacturing & Industrial, Value-Added Distribution, Business Services, Retail, Restaurant & Consumer, Food & Beverage, Technology/Media/Telecommunications, and Software.

Our operational acumen, proprietary nextLevel® value creation planning process, and hands-on, roll-up-our-sleeves approach creates measurable and sustainable value for our clients. At Growth Operators, we turn good companies into great companies.

DEDICATED TO THE MIDDLE MARKET

•

We are open to any company in manufacturing or distribution, regardless of what they make or ship. Our investments span building products to transportation to consumer goods manufacturing.

•

We look for businesses that have defensible market, customer and product positions over the long term. We must see clear-cut potential for operational improvement and/or growth.

•

Our platform companies are typically between $50 and $500 million in revenue, with positive EBITDA preferred but not required.

Strategic acquisitions for our companies can be any size.

•

We generally invest between $15 and $100 million, though we can make larger investments. We seek to invest in privately held companies, corporate divestitures, and restructuring situations.

STEWARDS OF BUSINESSES

PARTNERSHIP WITH MANAGEMENT

•

We consider ourselves stewards of companies during our ownership, with a desire to position them for long-term success.

•

In most cases, our platform companies have strong incumbent managers in key functions, though it’s not a requirement.

•

We seek to fundamentally improve the performance of our businesses to the benefit of employees, customers, suppliers and community, as well as shareholders.

•

We strongly believe that management teams should share in the financial success of our investments. Management teams typically invest on the same terms as IOP.

INVESTMENT TEAM

A differentiated approach to private equity.

Based in Nashville, TN, Lead Capital Partners is a private investment firm focused exclusively on healthcare companies in the lower middle-market.

Lead Capital acquires majority ownership positions in founder owned and operated businesses. We believe in growing healthy companies and establishing a stable environment where all constituents of the business are aligned for long-term success. Our approach provides companies with a unique combination of capital resources, operating experience, and a longterm investment horizon that creates an optimal environment for continued growth.

Lead Capital provides liquidity to shareholders of privately owned businesses, facilitates transition of ownership to key managers, and provides an environment that allows employees and management teams to capitalize on growth opportunities. We are not operators; rather, we are a resource for management, leveraging our healthcare industry knowledge and experience operating in a highly regulated environment. We work closely with management to set the company’s strategic direction and support activities that will increase the company’s value at the eventual time of exit.

Not Traditional Private Equity ONE-STOP SHOP CAPITAL Simplified Capital Structure

LONG-TERM CAPITAL Flexible and long-term

We have the flexibility to customize investment structures to meet the needs of our portfolio companies. Main Street’s primary objective is to create a capital structure that best aligns the interest of all stakeholders in both good economies and more challenging markets.

As a publicly traded investment firm, we have permanent capital and are not bound by the requirements of most institutional funds. This allows us the flexibility to be a long-term partner, without being pressured with arbitrary investment horizons or a scheduled exit strategy imposed on institutional funds.

A PARTNERSHIP-FIRST APPROACH Operational Autonomy

TRUST AND TRANSPARENCY Efficient Execution

Regardless of equity ownership percentages, we aim to structure financial partnerships that align our interests with the business, allowing management to maintain significant operational and strategic control. More than just a financial partner, we can also provide strategic insight and make valuable introductions to industry experts and service providers.

We strive to keep capital structures simple. From a letter of intent to close, there will be no surprises. Our ability to invest in both debt and equity securities and fully finance a transaction means that business owners and management teams work with only one financial partner. This reduces cultural and execution risk, expediting the closing process to allow business owners and management teams to focus on what is important – the business.

What makes Mangrove different is the full measure of what we bring to our portfolio partners: character, experience, and an uncommon ability to help our portfolio partners prosper.

Mangrove Equity Partners’ principals enjoy a national reputation as uncommonly effective, fair, flexible and honorable partners to company owners and managers. We have the captive financial resources and experience to efficiently close transactions. We also have substantial operating experience and a collaborative approach to building value at the companies with whom we partner. Mangrove's three-man internal operating team affords our fund an uncommon ability to help owner/operators maximize the value of their retained ownership, and allows Mangrove to invest in opportune situations, including those that are complex.

Differentiators o Meaningful Experience: Over 150 transactions across 60+ industries earns credibility with owner/operators, particularly since we often have experience/understanding and references in their industry o Internal Operating Team: Our proven ability to build commonality with business owners can quickly relate to

entrepreneurs through shared experience and quickly evidence ability to add more value than most private equity groups

o Ability to GET DEALS DONE: Our 100 years of collective experience helps get transactions across the finish line

quickly, even with companies/situations that are complex

o Quick and Frank Feedback: Responsiveness, Courtesy, Respect, and Partnership have been the hallmarks of our

service orientation toward deal sources since 1989

TARGET COMPANY SIZE

For new investments, rather than add-on acquisitions, Mangrove typically invests in businesses with pre-tax profits of $3-10 million and revenues from $8-$100 million. At the lower end of that size range, we typically look for businesses with attractive growth profiles, consolidatable industries or other opportunities to scale quickly.

Geography U.S. or Canada Industries

Having been in 60+ industries we can quickly determine how attractive a particular opportunity is to us. While very opportunistic, the Mangrove team has enjoyed great success with core industrial manufacturing, mission-critical industrial service, business services, enthusiast-driven branded consumer products, and specialty rental products.

THE TRIVEST PROMISE

Doing right by Founders is a commitment we take to heart. We work hard to eliminate the typical pain points in a transaction—the ones that give private equity a bad rap. Things like re-trading, aggressive capital structures, subordinated debt, and financing contingencies. In fact, we empower and encourage Founders to reject the terms that hold them back. We call this, affectionately, “Just Say No!”
