<h1 class="main">Christopher Myers joins Svoboda, Collins as a Financial Analyst</h1>
<p class="main"><B>CHICAGO, October, 1 1998</B> - Svoboda, Collins is pleased to announce that Christopher Myers has joined our firm as a financial analyst. Mr. Myers will assist the principals of Svoboda, Collins in identifying, evaluating and making investments in companies that meet our investment profile. Mr. Myers will also play a key role in assisting our portfolio companies in reaching their growth objectives.</p>
<p class="main">Prior to joining Svoboda, Collins, Mr. Myers spent three years at Goldman, Sachs and Co. as a Financial Analyst in the Investment Banking Division. His first two years were spent in New York as part of the Energy and Power Group and his third year was spent in Chicago as a generalist. His responsibilities included assisting in the execution of merger advisory assignments through due diligence, market research and valuation analysis, the execution and marketing of equity financings, the maintenance of client relationships and the generation of new business. Mr. Myers is a 1995 graduate of DePauw University.</p>
<p class="main">Svoboda, Collins is a $150 million private equity fund established in 1998 to identify, invest in and build excellent service and distribution companies. The firm is focused on making equity investments in small to medium-sized growth companies with revenues and pre-financing valuations between $20 and $200 million. Within this range, investments are likely to include (1) early stage financings of innovative businesses with compelling business models; (2) financings of established companies with proven business models for growth or liquidity purposes; and (3) management buy-outs and recapitalizations of larger, more mature companies. SC will not require control in its investments, but will require an ownership position of at least 20%. SC will typically invest $2 to $10 million of equity in each transaction. For larger transactions requiring additional equity, SC intends to potentially draw on its limited partners, or to partner with another private equity group with similar objectives.</p>
