Moraitis Ownership

As at 8 May 2006, the Moraitis Group shareholders divested 49% of the Group to Catalyst Investment Managers (“Catalyst”). Catalyst is one of the leading private equity firms in the Australasian market and manages funds in excess of $500m.

As Moraitis continues to expand in an industry that is reflecting large organic growth, it was felt that there was an opportunity to introduce a partner that could assist the business in achieving its strategic objectives.

Managing Director of the Moraitis Group, Nick Moraitis, when asked about the new partner responded, “Catalyst is one of the most experienced private equity firms in Australia. From the onset there has been an excellent fit between the Moraitis and Catalyst teams. We believe that Catalyst are well placed and hold a great amount of expertise that we can tap into to further grow our business. We look forward to working with Catalyst as we move forward.”

Catalyst members will sit on the Board and assist with the strategic direction of the Moraitis Group. Day to day operations continue to be handled by Nick Moraitis and the Moraitis executive team.

Catalyst was established in 1989 and is fully owned by its senior executive team.
