INTRODUCTION
This Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3, together with the exhibits hereto (this "Transaction Statement"), is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") by (a) Pomeroy IT Solutions, a Delaware corporation ("Pomeroy IT Solutions" or the "Company"), the issuer of the common stock that is subject to the Rule 13e-3 transaction, (b) Hebron LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Parent"), (c) Desert Mountain Acquisition Co., a Delaware corporation ("MergerSub"), and (d) David B. Pomeroy, II, an individual and director of Pomeroy IT Solutions (collectively, the "Filing Persons").
This Transaction Statement relates to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 19, 2009, as amended by the First Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 8, 2009, and the Second Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 20, 2009, all by and among the Company, Parent, MergerSub and Mr. Pomeroy (as amended, the "Merger Agreement"). If the Merger Agreement is adopted by the Company’s stockholders and the other conditions to closing of the Merger (as defined below) are satisfied or waived, MergerSub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as a surviving corporation and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the "Merger").
If the Merger is completed, each outstanding share of the Company's common stock, other than as provided below, will be converted into the right to receive $6.00 in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes (the "Merger Consideration"). The following outstanding shares of the Company's common stock will not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in connection with the Merger: (1) shares held by any of the Company's stockholders who are entitled to and who properly exercise appraisal rights under Delaware law; (2) shares the Company or any of its subsidiaries own; and (3) shares Parent or MergerSub own (including any such shares Mr. Pomeroy contributes to Parent prior to the effective time of the Merger) (the "Effective Time"). Mr. Pomeroy has agreed to contribute all of his shares of the Company's common stock to Parent prior to the effective time of the Merger.
Concurrently with the filing of this Transaction Statement, the Company is filing with the SEC a preliminary proxy statement (the "Proxy Statement") under Regulation 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), relating to the special meeting of the stockholders of the Company, Inc. at which the Company's stockholders will consider and vote upon a proposal to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement. The adoption of the Merger Agreement requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.
Pursuant to General Instruction F to Schedule 13E-3, the information in the Proxy Statement, including all annexes, exhibits and appendices thereto, is expressly incorporated by reference herein in its entirety, and responses to each item herein are qualified in their entirety by the information contained in the Proxy Statement. The cross references below are being supplied pursuant to General Instruction G to Schedule 13E-3 and show the location in the Proxy Statement of the information required to be included in response to the items of Schedule 13E-3.

All information contained in this Transaction Statement concerning any of the Filing Persons has been provided by such Filing Person and none of the Filing Persons, including the Company, takes responsibility for the accuracy of any information not supplied by such Filing Person.
The filing of this Transaction Statement shall not be construed as an admission by any of the Filing Persons or by any affiliate of a Filing Person, that the Company is "controlled" by any other Filing Person or that any Filing Person is an "affiliate" of the Company within the meaning of Rule 13e-3 under Section 13(e) of the Exchange Act.
