SALE OF RTI TECHNOLOGIES

RTI TECHNOLOGIES, INC. HAS AGREED TO BE ACQUIRED BY MAHLE


Birmingham, Michigan – December 6, 2012 – Angle Advisors is pleased to announce that MAHLE Group (“MAHLE”) has agreed to acquire the business of RTI Technologies, Inc. (“RTI Technologies” or the “Company”), an affiliate of Robert Bosch GmbH. The transaction is subject to certain customary closing conditions and is expected to close effective January 1, 2013. Angle Advisors acted as the exclusive investment banking advisor to Robert Bosch GmbH and RTI Technologies in managing this transaction.

Based in York, Pennsylvania, RTI Technologies develops, assembles and sells various types of automotive service and maintenance equipment including air conditioning service equipment, nitrogen tire inflation systems, fluid exchange systems, and accessories. Established in 1990, the Company serves do-it-for-me service outlets such as dealerships, national and regional service chains, and independent repair garages.


“RTI Technologies presents a tremendous opportunity for MAHLE to expand our business into the repair shop equipment sector of the Automotive Aftermarket,” said Dan Moody, General Manager of MAHLE’s Aftermarket business for North America. “Given the long-term approach to the Aftermarket as an important sales channel for MAHLE globally, this acquisition will broaden our Aftermarket offerings within our strategic product and service range and make us one of the leaders in this segment in North America. This acquisition will also further leverage our global position as a filter manufacturer – particularly as it relates to MAHLE Original cabin air filters for light vehicle and truck air conditioning systems,” Moody went on to say.

Alex Breuning, Director of Mergers & Acquisitions – Americas at Robert Bosch LLC, added, “We hired Angle Advisors for their deep experience in the automotive aftermarket and their hands-on approach. Their strong global relationships in the industry and commitment to our project greatly helped us consummate a successful transaction for RTI Technologies, its employees, and customers.”

They were instrumental in helping us position the business and demonstrate our growth plan. We are very pleased with the outcome of the sale process and excited to be owned by MAHLE in working to execute our future growth.”
