Hampshire Completes Sale of Acton Mobile Industries LLC

February 2, 2007

Hampshire Equity Partners ("Hampshire") announced today that it has exited its 2003 majority equity investment in Acton Mobile Industries ("Acton"), a leading provider of modular space rental services.

Headquartered in Baltimore, Acton now maintains a fleet of over 10,000 modular units through 17 branches in 11 states, providing leasing and related ancillary services. Acton's lease fleet provides temporary space solutions to the construction, commercial, education, healthcare and government markets. Acton also sells new and used modular units.

Greg Flynn, Managing Partner of Hampshire said, "We are proud to have played an integral role in the successful growth of Acton since our purchase. We believe the current management team, under the leadership of Barry Gossett, is the best in the industry, and believe Acton continues to be well positioned for future growth."

After acquiring Acton, Hampshire worked closely with the company to build a new senior management team, expand the company's geographic footprint by both acquisition and new branch openings, implement a financial management system, and upgrade branch and fleet assets.

CIBC World Markets was financial advisor to Hampshire and Acton in the transaction.
