CapRock Finalizes Acquisition of Arrowhead Global
Solutions Inc.

HOUSTON - May 7, 2007

CapRock Communications, a global satellite communications provider, today announced that it has finalized the purchase of Arrowhead Global Solutions Inc., a supplier of integrated communication solutions to the U.S. federal government and military. In February, CapRock announced that the company had signed a definite agreement to acquire Arrowhead.

CapRock and Arrowhead bring together more than 40 years of experience in serving customers with operations in remote and harsh conditions. The combined companies will be able to serve the government, engineering and construction vertical markets and larger systems integration projects further through a broader suite of products, services and support. Arrowhead is now a wholly owned subsidiary of CapRock.

“Arrowhead and CapRock each have a strong track record of success in providing mission-critical services to customers,” said Mary Ann Elliott, who remains chairman and CEO of Arrowhead. “With this acquisition, customers and their end-users will benefit from the combined dedication of resources committed to delivering highly reliable communications.”

As one of the U.S. government’s leading suppliers of integrated communication solutions, Arrowhead provides customers with terrestrial and satellite-based communications, program management and installations, as well as maintenance support services on a worldwide basis. Arrowhead’s global support portfolio, paired with CapRock’s four international teleports and 10 regional operation centers, will provide customers with a broader set of resources to support their operations. Additionally, using CapRock’s worldwide points of presence and Arrowhead’s network and systems engineering capabilities, the combined companies will be better positioned to pursue systems integration projects for direct and indirect government services customers.

“Arrowhead has built a strong reputation on delivering quality solutions consistently and providing unparalleled customer response,” said CapRock CEO Peter Shaper. “With both companies using similar approaches in engineering services to ensure the utmost reliability of customers’ critical data, the joining of the companies is a natural fit.”

The McLean Group advised Arrowhead during its search for a strategic acquirer.

“We worked with many potential partners to assess who would be the best fit,” Elliott said. “CapRock’s services and capabilities, paired with our strong success record in serving the federal government, positions Arrowhead to meet the market’s requirements even stronger than before. The McLean group’s tenacity and dedication was instrumental to Arrowhead’s success.”
