KippsDeSanto & Co. Advises Dominion Consulting Inc. on its Merger with TeraThink Corporation

/in /by

KippsDeSanto & Co. is pleased to announce the merger of our client, Dominion Consulting Inc. (“Dominion” or the “Company”) with TeraThink Corporation (“TeraThink”).

Dominion is a leading technology and management consulting firm focused on delivering agile-based enterprise application and Information Technology (“IT”) solutions to government and commercial clients. TeraThink is a nimble, resourceful team of IT and management consultants that’s purpose-built to help clients drive real, rapid progress and make sustainable improvements that lead to greater operational success. The combination of these two leading firms brings exceptional scale and value to support customer transformation, automation, and mission goals through expertise in agile development, enterprise application technologies, and cloud computing.

Dan Maguire, President of Dominion, will transition to Chief Executive Officer of TeraThink. Tim Spadafore, Chief Operating Officer of Dominion, will become the President and Chief Operating Officer of TeraThink. The newly formed company will assume the TeraThink brand going forward and double its size to $80 million in annual revenue.

We believe this merger demonstrates several key trends in the government services M&A environment:

  • Larger companies with additional resources and past performance can better compete in the unrestricted government contracting environment.
  • Consolidation of the government services industry continues to occur, as firms look to restructure and reposition within critical government areas and customers.
  • Value continues to be placed on companies with established client relationships, strong past performance, and solid revenue visibility.
  • Ample capital is available for government services contractors.

TeraThink Corporation (TeraThink) and Dominion Consulting (Dominion) today announced a definitive merger agreement in which TeraThink will remain the surviving corporate entity. The merger of equals combines complementary capabilities, experience and commitment to excellence on a much broader platform that yields enhanced service delivery to customers.

The newly formed company will double its size to $80 million in annual revenue evenly allocated across defense and federal civilian customers including Washington Headquarter Services, The Joint Staff, DLA, DOJ, DHS, and USDA.

Paul Lombardi, chief executive officer of TeraThink, will transition to chairman of the board of directors as a result of the transaction. Dan Maguire, president of Dominion, will become the new chief executive officer of TeraThink, and Tim Spadafore, chief operating officer of Dominion, will serve as the president and chief operating officer.

“This merger brings together two like-minded companies, and their employees, to better serve and transform the missions of our customers,” said Lombardi. “We share a vision of an excited and innovative workforce, steeped in capability, who will stop at nothing to drive successful outcomes for our customers. I’m absolutely thrilled for what the future holds for TeraThink.”

“I could not be more excited about the prospects of the new TeraThink,” said Maguire. The combination of TeraThink and Dominion results in an employee-first company comprised of great people driven to deliver high-value, innovative solutions to our federal customers. I truly believe through our combined work force, we are poised to lead and tackle the toughest problems in the market today.”

TeraThink will remain a privately held corporation. Houlihan Lokey acted as exclusive financial advisor to TeraThink on this transaction, and KippsDeSanto served as exclusive advisor to Dominion.
