DALLAS – May 28, 2008 – CREDANT Technologies®, the market leader in endpoint data protection solutions, today announced it has been named to the 2008 Top 200 Private Technology Companies report by Nollenberger Capital Partners, an investment banking and advisory services firm. CREDANT Technologies is among those on the list recognized for attributes of winning technology companies, including defensible intellectual property, a strong management team, and demonstrable revenue traction since inception.

“CREDANT closely fit the criteria we look for in a later stage company, where the management team has shepherded others to deliver a consistently solid product, to an ever-growing customer base,” said Gene Ramirez, Managing Director of Investment Banking at Nollenberger Capital.

The selection process for the Top 200 companies included the following criteria:
• Technology centric, privately funded companies
• Companies typically with functioning solutions and demonstrable revenue traction
• Companies pursuing large addressable markets
• Solid management teams
• Typically, later stage companies
• Companies backed by investment professionals, e.g. venture capitalists
• Solutions must be innovative, novel and have defensible IP
• Companies anticipated to achieve a liquidity event or raise capital at an uptick valuation in the next 12 to 24 months

“2008 has already been a banner year for CREDANT and being named to the Top 200 Private Technology Companies report by Nollenberger Capital Partners is a real highlight,” said Bob Heard, founder and CEO of CREDANT Technologies. “We look forward to continuing on the path of innovation and building the company, as CREDANT’s solutions for data protection reach more customers and are endorsed by a growing number of channel and technology partners alike.”

Last year, software companies represented 52% of the total companies in Top 200 Private Technology Companies report for 2006/2007. They also accounted for 51% (N = 25) of all the M&A exits achieved by Top 200 companies for that year. Nollenberger Capital Partners believes this trend will continue in 2008.
