Historically, a small percentage of companies ever see an IPO. Instead, most companies, including successful ones, achieve liquidity for their stakeholders (including management, employees and investors) through some type of M&A transaction.

For software and internet companies in particular, choosing the right advisor is mission critical. Catapult's knowledge of the evolving landscape, coupled with our strong industry relationships and transaction expertise, can mean the difference between a good outcome and no outcome at all. Our strong vertical focus enables us to add value in ways other generalist banks cannot.

Catapult's services include:

• Sell-side assignments - we use our industry expertise and relationships to identify and pursue the most likely acquirors

• Buy-side assignments - we selectively use our in depth knowledge of key growth sectors to help larger vendors indentify and execute transactions with strategic acquisition targets

• Divestitures/Spinoffs - we help larger vendors discretely shed non-core software assets

• Fairness Opinions/Valuations - we provide valuation guidance and fairness opinions utilizing our vast experience and proprietary database of relevant comparable software transactions
