PRESS RELEASE

Eureka Growth Capital (“Eureka”) today announced its portfolio company, Project Leadership Associates (“PLA”), a leading national provider of business and technology consulting and outsourced solutions, has completed the acquisition of Vital Networks, a provider of managed services and outsourced IT solutions with offices in Sacramento, San Francisco, Boston and Seattle.

“We are excited to welcome Vital Networks to the PLA family,” stated Dan Porcaro, President and CEO of PLA. “Vital Networks is a natural fit because they offer a variety of technology consulting services and they are heavily focused on building strategic client and vendor relationships, much like PLA. As a national professional services corporation, PLA has clients across the country and our team has worked on a number of multi-million dollar projects outside of our core offices. We recently opened a new office in Detroit and now Vital Networks will help us broaden our reach and grow our operations on the east and west coasts.”

Doug Heestand, President and Founder of Vital Networks commented, “We couldn’t be more thrilled to be joining PLA. We have been introduced to many potential business partners over the years but no company ever came close to matching our passion for taking care of our customers and our people. PLA is a perfect match in this regard. They are truly customer-focused and you can tell by meeting their team they attract and retain the most-talented, well-rounded professionals in our industry.”

“The addition of Vital Networks to the PLA platform significantly increases our scale in managed services, broadens our service capabilities and provides branch locations on both coasts from which to offer PLA’s complete suite of services,” added Jonathan Chou, a Principal with Eureka and a Director at PLA.

RBS Citizens, N.A. provided financing for the acquisition.
