/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SI International, Inc. (NASDAQ:SINT), an
information technology and network solutions (IT) company,
announced today that it completed the purchase of Shenandoah
Electronic Intelligence, Inc. (SEI) on February 9, 2005. SEI is a
provider of critical business process outsourcing primarily for the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS). SEI's services include: data
and records management; applications processing; file and mail
management; analytical support services; and secure optical card
processing at one of the largest facilities of its kind. The
acquisition supports SI International's strategic growth plan to
broaden its customer base in one of its key focus areas -- Homeland
Defense. The SEI acquisition strengthens SI International's
relationships with DHS agencies and expands SI International's
portfolio of mission-critical outsourcing services. Founded in
1986, SEI performs facilities and records management functions for
several government entities and produces personalized
identification cards at a secure optical card processing facility,
which is considered one of DHS' "Centers for Excellence." SEI has
approximately 1,600 employees with over 99 percent holding security
clearances. Under the terms of the definitive stock purchase
agreement, SI International acquired SEI for $75 million in cash,
subject to certain adjustments. The transaction was funded through
cash-on-hand and borrowings from a new $160 million credit
facility. The purchase price is subject to adjustment as a result
of certain tax elections. The definitive stock purchase agreement
also provides that the SEI stockholders will retain certain
non-operating assets and contingent accounts receivable. SI
International expects the acquisition to be accretive to earnings.
SEI's trailing twelve months revenue ended September 30, 2004 was
approximately $73.9 million. "We believe that the combined
strengths of SI International and SEI can better serve our Federal
government clients' growing requirements, and create more
opportunities to provide our service offerings to a larger client
base," said Ray Oleson, Chairman and CEO of SI International.
"Combined, we have over 3,500 employees that will enable us to take
on larger scale assignments." "SEI has some tremendous talent and
experience in key areas of the business process outsourcing sector
for the Federal government," added SI International's President and
Chief Operating Officer, Brad Antle. "This acquisition is an
excellent fit within our company and will blend well with our
culture." About SI International: SI International, a member of the
