KippsDeSanto & Co. Advises CenTauri Solutions, LLC on Its Sale to Computer Sciences Corporation

KippsDeSanto & Co. is pleased to send you the attached press release announcing the acquisition of our client, CenTauri Solutions, LLC (“CenTauri”), by Computer Sciences Corporation (“CSC”). CSC acquired CenTauri to deepen its intelligence analysis, information system integration, and command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (“C4ISR”) platform integration capabilities, and assume a prime position on the $6.6 billion Defense Intelligence Agency’s (“DIA”) Solutions for the Information Technology Enterprise (“SITE”) contract vehicle. The transaction closed on December 17, 2010.

Headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, with significant operations in Tampa, Florida and Charlottesville, Virginia, CenTauri provides C4ISR solutions to key components of the Intelligence, National Security, and Homeland Security communities primarily in the areas of intelligence analysis, information systems, and technology. In addition, the Company possesses world-class technical design, engineering, and integration of select ISR systems supporting military and paramilitary missions, including a wide range of sensor systems. CenTauri is the developer and systems integrator for emerging unmanned aerial systems (“UAS”) for improvised explosive device (“IED”) detection, force protection, and other ISR missions.

We believe this transaction represents a number of key trends in government and defense technology M&A:

• Companies poised to capitalize on attractive C4ISR and Intelligence Community market opportunities remain at the forefront of industry acquisition criteria;
• Buyers and investors are becoming more sophisticated when evaluating Small Business contracts; however, prime positions on large, long-term contract vehicles awarded on a F&O basis (or transitionable) drive value;
• High-growth potential is a key discriminator for buyers given the current budget environment, and;
• Next-generation technologies, such as UAS and related ISR platforms, are highly sought after in the context of today’s threat environment and tactical Warfighter needs.

KippsDeSanto & Co. is an investment bank focused on delivering exceptional M&A and financing transaction results for leading technology and defense companies. For more information on KippsDeSanto & Co., please visit www.kippsdesanto.com.

We welcome the opportunity to discuss how KippsDeSanto & Co. can help you achieve your strategic objectives.
