Filet of Chicken

In 2007, Creo partnered with management of Filet of Chicken to acquire the Company from its owners. The Company had experienced solid growth and financial performance, and was poised to benefit from the capital and broader food-industry resources of Creo and its portfolio of six food-related companies.

Transaction highlights included:

• State-of-the-art, 100,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility in
  Atlanta, GA
• 20+ year history of providing high quality food products to restaurant, food service, and retail customers nationwide
• Poised for growth with the addition of new production lines and manufacturing equipment
• Outstanding management team with proven track record
• Significant cross-selling opportunities and other synergies with Creo's other food businesses, most notably Good Harbor Filet Company in Boston, MA

Creo closed the transaction in September 2007. Wachovia Capital Finance and Fifth Street Capital provided debt capital for the transaction.
