New Capital Structure Accelerates Future Growth and Investment

Cape Canaveral, FL., July 21, 2014 – IAP Worldwide (“IAP”) today announced the successful completion of its balance sheet recapitalization under the terms of the Restructuring Support Agreement announced on April 3, 2014.

The consensual transaction between the Company, its controlling shareholders and its first- and second-lien lenders involved the conversion of over 80 percent of the Company’s debt into equity. Accordingly, IAP has significantly reduced its debt service requirements and improved its overall liquidity position. IAP also will maintain a $50 million revolving credit facility provided by the lenders for additional liquidity and access to letters of credit.

“IAP’s underlying business is strong, fueled by our world-class talent, strong customer relationships and longstanding reputation as an industry leader that executes precisely under even the most difficult working conditions,” said Spencer Wickham, President of IAP Worldwide. “Our enhanced capital structure will help accelerate our growth strategy, which focuses on maximizing opportunities to serve our core government customers.”

“I am confident the successful restructuring announced today will right-size our debt structure and provide us with the liquidity required to invest in and grow our business as we strive to better serve our customers,” Mr. Wickham continued. “We thank all of our employees for their relentless focus and exceptional service throughout this process. We also extend our gratitude to our new owners for their support throughout this effort and for their continued vote of confidence in our business. Today is a great day for everyone at IAP.”

As part of the transaction, the incoming ownership group has formed IAP Global Services, LLC to be a holding company for IAP and appointed a new board who possess a long and successful track record in IAP’s core U.S. government services market. The new Board includes Admiral (Ret.) William “Bud” Flanagan, Mr. Dean Popps, The Honorable Dr. John Hillen, Mr. Brett Lambert, Mr. Ed Bayone, and Mr. Christopher W. Parker. The board elected Admiral (Ret.) William “”Bud”” Flanagan Chairman.

Admiral (Ret.) William “Bud” Flanagan stated, “I am pleased to direct a great company with a proud history of service to the U.S. government and look forward to working with a strong board to maintain the confidence and long-term support of our customers, employees and investors. IAP moves forward with a strong balance sheet, full investor support and a world-class board at its holding company to support IAP’s management team in building on IAP’s legacy of providing service excellence to the Departments of Defense, Energy, and State, as well as other U.S. government and allied customers such as NASA, NOAA, NATO and the intelligence community.”
