The organisation targets opportunities across complex and highly regulated sectors including aerospace and defense, government services and government software, technology and communications. Macquarie Capital has worked alongside Capitol Meridian Partners on five transactions since its inception in 2021.
Macquarie Capital leveraged its flexible balance sheet capabilities and deep expertise in the defense and government services sector to act as lead direct lender as well as exclusive financial advisor for the acquisition.
Following the initial investment, Macquarie Capital led the financing for two add-on acquisitions to expand LMI’s platform, including Synaptech, a provider of digital engineering, modeling and simulation software for the national security and space industries, and JJR Solutions, a provider of low-code, cloud-based applications for customers in the government services space.
In November 2023, Capitol Meridian Partners tapped Macquarie Capital once again to act as lead lender in the acquisition of its newest platform investment, Clarity Innovations, which provides advanced data and cyber analytics services and software to the US national security community. Following this transaction, Macquarie Capital acted as exclusive financial advisor to Capitol Meridian and Clarity in Clarity’s merger with Chameleon Consulting Group in June 2024. Macquarie Capital Principal Finance also provided financing to support the transaction. Clarity and Chameleon’s combined capabilities will create a vanguard of next generation systems and cyberspace products and services to the US Department of Defense and Intelligence Community.
Outcome
The strategic acquisitions also further enhance Capitol Meridian’s credentials in the government services and technology space and position the firm to continue to drive the digital transformation happening across the government sector.
The government sector continues to transform and consolidate. As a sector-focused, specialist investor with a deep understanding of the complex government services landscape, Capitol Meridian Partners is well-positioned to capitalize on this transition."
