SPRING 2007 INVESTOR RELATIONS UPDATE
The Blueshirt Group is off to a very strong start in 2007. The resurgence of the IPO market had a profound impact on our growth as we have added four high profile IPOs and a total of 13 new clients so far this year. These include market leading public companies, a number of clients in our targeted micro cap effort and several exciting private companies. We remain committed to our business model of limiting the number of clients that each of our senior team members work with on which is a clear point of differentiation in the market. To support our continued growth we are very pleased to announce the addition of Cynthia Hiponia, former sell-side research analyst at Citigroup, and Mike Bishop, former Director of IR at OpenWave, to our team of IR professionals. We look forward to a robust 2007 and hope the first part of your year is off to an equally strong start.
