Stanley to Acquire Oberon Associates(s annual revenue will meet or exceed Sta...)

"We are looking forward to welcoming Oberon to Stanley," said Phil Nolan, Stanley's chairman, president and CEO. "This transaction is consistent with Stanley's growth strategy that calls for the development of new customers, contract vehicles and service offerings via mergers and acquisitions. In addition, it reinforces Stanley's strategy of expanding our presence in key markets positively impacted by the Base Realignment and Closure process. Oberon complements our commitment to delivering the highest quality of support for our customers' mission-essential programs and fostering an employee- focused culture. We also believe this acquisition will provide meaningful cross-selling opportunities as we seek to continue our strong record of organic growth."

"We are excited about the opportunity to bring a new, but complementary, set of customers and technical expertise to Stanley," said Jodi L. Johnson and David L. Young, co-founders of Oberon. "We are also very optimistic that the transition will be a smooth one because of our similar cultures and a mutual urgency to ensure customer satisfaction."

KippsDeSanto & Co. is acting as exclusive financial advisor to Oberon in this transaction.
