VIRGINIA CAPITAL PARTNERS provides capital and expertise to help outstanding entrepreneurs

build market-leading companies. Our $50 million fund is provided by our managing partners and

a group of blue-chip fi nancial fi rms, leading corporations and major endowments, including: Wells

Fargo, Bank of America, BB&T, Sun Trust, Verizon, American Electric Power, and the Virginia Retirement

System. Our investment partners have entrusted their capital to us until 2030. Because our funding is

virtually permanent, we have no near-term need for liquidity. Our open-ended exit strategy provides

our management partners with the freedom to realize liquidity when the timing is right from both the

company’s and the capital markets’ perspective.

We strive to partner with outstanding entrepreneurs and management. Our role is to support our

management partners as they implement their vision. Our management partnerships are carefully chosen

and have resulted in exceptionally high executive retention. Across more than thirty different portfolio

companies, senior management turnover is virtually zero.

If you have opportunities or ambition greater than your current resources, contact one of our partners.

We enjoy visiting with CEOs of growing companies, even if there isn’t an immediate capital need.

The best way to predict

the future is to create it.

looking for an equity partner who shares their vision. Along with patient capital, we offer our portfolio companies:

A committed partnerWe are dedicated to helping our companies

become market-leading organizations over a

number of years — not overnight.

Helpful guestLike considerate dinner or party guests who pitch

in when their host needs assistance, we are here to

help at your request, but allow your preferences to

guide our involvement in your company.

Management continuityOur role is to support superb executives

implement their vision. We want to be a trusted

advisor on key fi nancial and strategic decisions; but

we leave day-to-day operations to our portfolio

company management teams. Our management

team partnerships have worked remarkably well

— executive turnover is virtually zero.

Long-term perspectiveOur time horizon is much longer than most

private equity funds, our portfolio companies

are free to realize liquidity when the timing is

right from both the company’s and the capital

markets’ perspective.

GrowthWe rely on growth, not leverage or fi nancial

engineering, as the key to our success.

No outsidersOur partners handle the entire investment

process, from initial research to ongoing contact,

ensuring confi dentiality, rapid execution and solid,

long-term relationships.

FlexibilityWe tailor each investment to the specifi c needs of

the parties involved and don’t have any minimum

ownership requirement.

Confi dentialityAll shared information is held in strict confi dence.

We are a private organization and have no public

disclosure requirements.

Ownership cultureOn average, our managing partners invest twice

as much in our portfolio companies than the

typical private equity fund.

Prompt actionWe have the experience and fi nancial capability

to complete transactions in as little as 45 days.

VIRGINIA CAPITAL INVESTS in growth companies across a variety of industries. A sampling of our investment

experience to date includes: business services, media and communications, consumer services, healthcare, and insurance.

Virginia Capital invests in companies at all stages of development from a new start-up to expansion of an existing business

to the acquisition of an established company.

Our portfolio companies share many common traits. Specifi cally, we focus on the following elements:

■ Experienced and results-oriented management

■ Established, scalable business model

■ Opportunity to accelerate revenue growth and expand free cash fl ow

■ History of profi tability or an ability to reach profi tability quickly after our funding

■ Opportunity for sustained growth of 15% to 20% per annum

■ Signifi cant recurring revenues

■ Sustainable competitive advantage

Virginia Capital will invest from $1 million to $5 million per company and together with affi liates we can consummate

$20 million transactions. We are usually the fi rst institutional investor and often the sole investor. Virginia Capital structures

transactions in order to foster long-term growth, ensure fi nancial stability and meet the needs of the company’s owners.

Historically we have not invested in heavy manufacturing or technology companies with substantial dependence on

research and development.

INVESTMENT FOCUS

Do not go where the path leads,

go where there is no path and

leave a trail.

RELATIONSHIPS ARE PARAMOUNT

We are a truly committed partner who understands what our

entrepreneurs are trying to achieve. Our fi rm’s partners share their

commitment to building market-leading companies and are dedicated

to providing the energy, connections and tenacity to help make their

ambitious goals a reality. We understand that success is rarely a straight

line and have the perseverance and patience it takes to help build a

thriving enterprise. Entrepreneurs will be working with professionals

who know how to succeed and work tirelessly to help our portfolio

companies succeed.

HERITAGE OF SUCCESS

Collectively, our portfolio represents one of the largest privately held

companies in the South Atlantic region, with more than 2,000 employ-

ees, $1 billion in revenues and more than $1 billion in assets. Over the

last 13 years we have invested in 30 companies in a variety of indus-

tries. These outstanding management partners have used our capital

to build tremendous value for themselves and our investors. We have

sold our investment in 24 of our portfolio companies generating an

average return on investment of nearly 28% per annum. These excep-

tional returns resulted from the marriage of sound business plans, out-

standing management talent, superior execution and a carefully chosen

exit when the time was right for the company and the market.

PARTNERSHIP

We are a trusted and reliable partner. We do what we say we will do

and are committed to the success of our partnerships in every way.

Unlike other fi rms that are also involved in investment banking, lending

or consulting, we are solely focused on private investing. Because this

is all we do, we have no other motivations or interests beyond our

portfolio companies’ long-term success.

NO PUSH TO EXIT

We have no pre-determined exit strategy. Because our funding is

virtually permanent, we have no near-term need for liquidity. We are

content to wait until conditions are optimal for both the company and

the market.

When the time is right to seek a liquidity event, we have developed a

superior process to realize the maximum all-cash, after-tax value with

the least downside exposure. Having consummated dozens of sales

and several IPOs we know how to run the most effective process to

obtain the maximum after-tax proceeds on the best possible terms.
