COMSYS IT Partners, Inc. (NASDAQ:CITP) today announced the acquisition of Plum Rhino Consulting LLC, a specialty finance and accounting staffing services provider with offices in Atlanta, Charlotte, St. Louis and Chicago. Terms of the acquisition included the issuance of 253,606 shares of COMSYS common stock to the Plum Rhino equity holders at closing and a three-year earn-out based on Plum Rhino’s achievement of specified annual EBITDA targets after closing.

“Plum Rhino has developed a specialized niche within the finance and accounting services business, primarily in providing high level professionals to the financial services industries, and we are very happy that former owners Stephany Lewis and Matt Dattilo will stay with COMSYS to continue growing this business for us,” commented COMSYS CEO Larry L. Enterline. “We have been focused on using the acquisition process to extend our geographic reach and market share and add complementary service lines to diversify our business. Plum Rhino will lead COMSYS into a specialized professional staffing sector in which we have had interest for some time, and we believe the diversification opportunity it offers is attractive. At the same time, the addition of Plum Rhino’s services to our ongoing services offerings will benefit our existing financial services customers as we continue to expand our capability to deliver the services our customers want and need. We expect this acquisition to be slightly accretive to earnings in 2007 and future years.”

In connection with this acquisition, COMSYS amended its senior credit agreement and increased the aggregate amount permitted for acquisitions under the credit agreement to $50 million. The permitted acquisition basket before the amendment was $10 million. The Company did not pay any financing fees in connection with this amendment.

“We appreciate the continuing support we receive from our bank syndicate,” commented COMSYS Senior Vice President David L. Kerr. “This amendment should provide us the financial flexibility we need to continue to execute our acquisition strategy.”
