Bradley H. Feldmann
Chairman, President & CEO
Subject: Acquisition of Cubic
Dear Cubic Customers,
This morning we announced that we have signed a definitive agreement to be acquired by Veritas Capital and Evergreen Coast Capital Corporation. Following the completion of the transaction, we will become a privately held company. A copy of the press release we issued a few minutes ago is below.
This partnership brings additional resources that we will leverage to accelerate our growth, while strengthening our ability to help solve your most pressing challenges through innovative, mission-critical solutions, services and platforms.
Veritas is a longstanding investor in companies operating at the intersection of technology and government. Veritas brings deep experience in our industry along with a successful track record of helping companies like ours reach their full potential by investing capital and supporting operational improvements. Evergreen also has a long-term focus and a strong background investing in technology companies.
In terms of what this means for you, we are committed to maintaining business as usual. There will be no changes in our operations or your day-to-day interactions with our team. Our chief priority remains being great partners to you. As a private company, we will have even greater flexibility to invest in our solutions and focus on our customers.
As with any transaction, this agreement is subject to shareholder approval and customary closing conditions. We anticipate that the acquisition will be completed during the second calendar quarter of 2021. Until closing, nothing changes and we look forward to working with you as we always have.
At every stage in this process and following the closing of the transaction, you will continue to benefit from Cubic’s world class employees, products and technical capabilities. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to your regular point of contact at Cubic.
Thank you for your business.
Sincerely,
/s/ Bradley H. Feldmann
