• For a company such as ours which is in a growth phase, we appreciate B. Riley coming to the table with their A-Team, who bring over 30 years of banking experience.  This is in stark contrast to larger firms who do not bring this kind of talent to smaller deals.  We’ve worked with B. Riley since the late 1990s, and they were integral in helping build one of my prior companies, Titan Corp., which was successfully sold to L3 Communications for approximately $2 billion dollars.  We’ve found B. Riley to be relationship oriented and not transaction driven.   For Kratos, the B. Riley team has represented us in three successful capital raises and two advisory engagements in the past 12 months.  Each time, they have consistently exceeded our expectations. This offering was completed in 36 hours which is testimony to the strength of the existing Kratos shareholder base, the strength of B. Riley’s institutional relationships and the quality of our company’s fundamentals.
