Phil Druce, Partner of ASC said, "We have had an active thesis in commercial facility services for over a year and knew as soon as we met Mike Nichols, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of ACIS, that he had created something special and that we could help unlock his goals and ambitions to build a world-class, service-first organization. In particular, Mike's understanding of corporate culture, best-in-class technician recruitment, the senior team that he has assembled, and their personal humility give us the ultimate confidence in our new partnership."

Johnny Conklin, Partner of ASC said, "We are excited to begin working with Mike to invest more deeply in sales force infrastructure, build on and enhance the Company's data-centric decision-making processes and ultimately broaden the company's geographic footprint. In addition to the organic investment in talent and functional depth, we also expect to partner with other like-minded service providers to meaningfully expand our geographic reach and enhance our service offerings."

Mike Nichols commented, "Our business and culture was founded by technicians, for technicians. From our founding, we aimed to create a team environment that is collaborative and high-energy. By establishing a great place to work, professional development and career paths, it ensures we have the talent to succeed and underscores a culture where we all like to win, grow and have fun. In partnering with Atlantic Street, we are getting a partner that understands all aspects of our business but also brings an operational horsepower through their operating advisor team that will allow us to build a better business. Most importantly, their willingness to roll up their own sleeves to work alongside us in the trenches gave me great confidence that they were the right partner for us. We are proud of what we have built, but we know our best days are way ahead of us."

Citizens M&A Advisory acted as financial advisor and Faegre Drinker acted as legal advisor to ACIS and their affiliates. Bank of Montreal provided credit support and Kramer Levin acted as legal advisor to Atlantic Street.
