CHAIRMAN’S WELCOME WELCOME TO THE 2022 GEORGIA FAST 40 AWARDS CELEBRATION! Dear 2022 Honorees and Attendees: On behalf of the Board of Directors of ACG Atlanta, welcome and thank you for attending the 2022 Georgia Fast 40 Awards Celebration. I sincerely hope that you will both enjoy the evening and leave inspired with new and meaningful business connections. Please make sure to take advantage of all the great company content on our online platform this year! ACG Atlanta’s mission is Driving Middle-Market Growth® and tonight’s event is a key element to fulfill that mission. We are proud to present this year’s Awards to 40 (well 45) of Georgia’s most deserving companies. Congratulations to each of our Honorees. The Association for Corporate Growth (ACG) is comprised of over 15,000 stakeholders, represented by 59 chapters around the world. Members include leaders in corporations and capital markets who recognize the benefits of exchanging ideas about corporate growth and value-building strategies within an influential community of executives growing public and private companies worldwide. Our Atlanta National Chapter continues to receive recognition as a top ACG chapter. In addition to the Georgia Fast 40 and our signature event, M&A South, held each February, we hold various informative evening and breakfast networking events where local CEOs and deal-making experts connect and discuss their business growth strategies. Upcoming events include: • ACG will hold its third event this year at Truist Park for an Atlanta Braves Game Summer Social on Tuesday, August 2nd. We have found these events in dedicated spaces (this time at Harrah’s Back Porch) provide a great venue for taking in a game while networking with middlemarket executives and deal advisors.

Please be on the lookout for date and location announcements. • And, as mentioned, February 6th-8th, 2023, we present the Southeast’s largest assemblage of leading private equity sponsors, lenders and other sources of capital, and investment banks at our annual event, M&A South. Each of these events, combined with the ACG Atlanta Women’s Forum, Young ACG, Corporate Development and Growth Equity backed Atlanta Roundtables (GEAR) provide our members with additional networking opportunities and ways to give back to the Atlanta community.

This year’s lower and upper category honorees represent nearly 11,000 new jobs and over $3.1B in revenue growth over the last three years. We are also delighted to honor the 2022 class of Higher Middle Market companies. Each of these companies has their own unique story that propelled its growth. We gained invaluable insights into these trailblazing companies and captured the highlights on video which can be found via the QR Code below. A common thread among each of them is their dedication to their teams, customers, and communities. I can assure you that tonight you are in the presence of Georgia’s elite leaders and teams. I would like to thank all the members of the 2022 Georgia Fast 40 committee, and all our generous sponsors. Finally, we would like to thank each of you, our ACG members, and our supporters.
