Berkery Noyes Represents WSA Global Holdings LLC In Sale To ENK International

NEW YORK, December 19, 2007 — Berkery Noyes, the leading independent investment bank serving the information, media and technology markets, announces that it represented Encino, CA-based WSA Global Holdings LLC (WSA) in its sale to ENK International. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

“This transaction reflects the strong demand for market-leading trade shows, especially when they represent a compelling strategic fit with the buyer’s existing business,” said Kathleen Thomas, the Berkery Noyes managing director who represented WSA. “This transaction brings together two of the fashion industry’s most elite event and marketing services companies and some of the market’s most creative and knowledgeable management.”

The combination of ENK’s position in the fashion market, with WSA’s leadership in the footwear and accessories niche, strengthens the competitive position and expands growth opportunities for both businesses. “The market knowledge and trend leadership for which ENK is renowned combined with the strategic and customer focus, organizational and operational expertise we have built at WSA will enable us to deliver maximum value to both sets of customers,” noted Skip Farber, WSA’s chief executive, who will continue to be a shareholder of the combined company.

“Both ENK and WSA have very strong market positions, excellent management teams and significant potential for growth,” said Theodore J. Forstmann, Forstmann Little & Co. Senior Founding Partner. Continued Elyse Kroll, Chairman of ENK, “The strength of the ENK and WSA brands and the value we bring to our customers provide many avenues for growth, and we intend to leverage this remarkable platform to significantly grow the business while maintaining continuity and stability of our valuable customer relationships.”

This is the second transaction with ENK International handled by Kathleen Thomas in the past two years. In April 2006, she acted as their exclusive financial advisor in ENK’s transaction with Forstmann Little.
