Denver, Colorado – April 22, 2014 – Sverica International Management LLC (“Sverica”), a private equity investment firm, announced today it closed on its sale of a majority stake in Accuvant, Inc. (“Accuvant”) to Blackstone (NYSE: BX) (“Blackstone”). Based in Denver, Colorado, Accuvant is a leading provider of information security solutions and services to enterprise-class organizations. Sverica will retain a minority interest in the business and remain active on the Board of Directors.

Sverica acquired a majority interest in Accuvant in July 2008. Over the course of its investment, Sverica optimized the organizational structure of the business, added depth to the management team, enhanced strategic focus on Accuvant’s Managed Security Services business, and assisted management in successfully navigating the company through an extended period of rapid growth.

“We are thrilled to have been partners with Accuvant management since 2008 during a massive phase of growth for the company,” said Frank Young, Managing Director at Sverica. “Accuvant has now reached a size and scale where we feel it is the right time to explore adding another financial partner, and Blackstone is the ideal fit, given their depth of knowledge in security. We look forward to partnering with them and continuing to work with Dan Burns and his team for the next phase of growth.”

“Sverica has been a fantastic partner for Accuvant. Their strategic input has been invaluable to our success. The company wouldn’t be where it is today without their board level oversight and involvement,” said Dan Burns, Accuvant Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer. “I am pleased they will remain involved and provide board continuity as we seek to accelerate our pace of innovation and expansion through the Blackstone investment.”

Boston, Massachusetts – September 16, 2014 – Sverica International Management LLC (“Sverica”), a private equity investment firm, announced that its portfolio company, RestorixHealth, a comprehensive wound care management company, had acquired Paradigm Medical Management (“Paradigm”). Paradigm, also a wound care management company, operates outpatient wound care centers and the Amputation Prevention Centers of America™ network. The combination creates one of the largest and most progressive wound care service providers in the United States.

Chronic wounds are a significant health problem affecting millions of people. That number is growing rapidly due in part to an aging population and a sharp rise in the incidence of diabetes and obesity. Caring for chronic wounds requires specialized care and advanced training, and as chronic wounds become more prevalent, the demand for specialized wound care centers also increases.

Sverica initially invested in RestorixHealth (formerly the Center for Wound Healing) in December 2010. Since then, RestorixHealth has grown to the second largest operator of outpatient wound care clinics in the United States. Sverica identified Paradigm as an acquisition target, initiated discussions and lead negotiations. Sverica has further supported the company in building its management team, setting strategic direction, identifying add-on targets, and securing several rounds of debt financing. The acquisition of Paradigm is the third add-on acquisition completed by RestorixHealth.
