EBITDA in 2022 is expected to be 10x that achieved in 2017.

At closing, Clairvest’s portion of the cash proceeds are approximately US$160 million (US$48 million for CVG). Clairvest will continue to own approximately 18% of Meriplex after the transaction.

“We are incredibly proud of the Meriplex team. They successfully executed an aggressive growth plan and matured the business into a national player,” says Mitch Green, Managing Director at Clairvest. “David and his management team have been relentless in their pursuit of opportunities to grow and strengthen the business. We are thrilled to reinvest a meaningful equity stake into the transaction along with our management partners and welcome Vitruvian, whom we believe will be a great partner for this next stage of growth.”

“Meriplex selected Clairvest in 2018 as our private equity partner to help management view the business through a different lens and provide guidance as we scaled the organization at a rapid pace. They have been reliable partners throughout our journey and played active roles where and when we needed them,” says David Henley, Founder & CEO of Meriplex. “I am very proud of what we have achieved together and am excited to continue growing Meriplex and our customer relationships with two great partners – Vitruvian and Clairvest.”
