Dear Clients, Partners and Prospects,

On behalf of the management and staff at Equity Methods, I am pleased to announce that on April 11, 2012, Montage Partners purchased the assets of the Equity Methods Consulting business from Equity Analytics, LLC (a Bank of America Merrill Lynch company) to form a standalone entity, Equity Methods, LLC.

Our team of professionals is excited to offer our expertise in equity compensation valuation and financial reporting services as an independent firm, and we look forward to expanding our offerings. In rendering these services for over a decade, we have served 26 of the Fortune 100 and over 500 companies in total. This monumental event in our organization’s history stages us to invest further in our existing service lines, as well as new practice areas that are currently being prototyped. Over the next few months, we will be undertaking significant investment in additional human capital, technology upgrades, and R&D. We are excited by all the new opportunities this will afford our clients, partners, and staff.

We will be reaching out to clients in the days ahead with additional details about our spinout, including contact information for our practice leaders and a dedicated channel for submitting questions to be addressed in an upcoming Q&A webinar. In the meantime, if you have any questions about this transaction, please don’t hesitate to contact me directly.

I appreciate the trust you have placed in Equity Methods, and your continued loyalty. I am confident that this new affiliation will serve both you and us well.

Sincerely,
Takis Makridis, President and CEO
Equity Methods, LLC
