Boca Raton, FL – April 18, 2016 – AE Industrial Partners, LLC (“AEI”), a private equity

highest profile, successful middle-market transactions in recent years, including the sale of
Wencor Group to Warburg Pincus, Haas Group to Wesco Aircraft, Ross Aviation to Landmark
Aviation, and Pexco Aerospace, Schneller, and Breeze-Eastern to Transdigm Group.

team, and welcome him to AEI.
