SC&H worked with an IITC executive in a prior transaction (JKA Tech sale to KEYW). The executive introduced SC&H to IITC’s owners after they were approached by a strategic buyer who wanted to make a preemptive offer. IITC hired SC&H to assess the preemptive offer, and create a competitive dynamic to maximize value for the shareholders.

IITC ultimately selected a bid from a new buyer, Arlington Capital backed Tyto Athene, who recognized IITC’s strategic value
