The Daymark Group, LLC announced today that effective as of June 1, 2008, Michael
C. Whitney of Manchester, New Hampshire, will be joining the firm as a Managing Director.
Mr. Whitney retired from banking this past December where he was the regional President of
Bank of America as well as an executive with Bank of America Securities, the investment
banking affiliate of the bank.

“I’m very excited to be starting this next phase of my career” said Whitney, who had
been with the bank and its predecessors for over 30 years. “When I left banking, I was
looking to join a small firm of business professionals who were assisting middle market
companies with their financially-based transactions. The Daymark Group felt perfect.”

Co-founder and Managing Director Daniel Sklar said “we are honored and thrilled to
have Mike join the firm. He adds tremendous depth and experience to our two primary
practice areas, and his involvement greatly enhances our ability to deliver top flight
investment banking services throughout New England.”

Co-founder and Managing Director Mark Olsen added that “Dan and I are very
excited to have attracted someone of Mike’s stature and reputation in the banking industry
and business community to our young firm.” He went on to state that “Mike’s in-depth
knowledge of the capital markets and years of experience will play a key role as we work
with clients to secure capital to fund growth and support their working capital needs.”

The Daymark Group, located at 40 Stark Street in Manchester, NH, represents
business owners who wish to sell or otherwise transition the ownership of their businesses, as
well as family-owned and closely-held middle market companies which are looking to
refinance and restructure their existing indebtedness in order to facilitate future growth and
provide needed working capital. For more information, call 603-792-1700.
