ABRY Leads Recapitalization of Triple Point Technology Inc.

BOSTON (August 17, 2006) - ABRY Partners recently led the recapitalization of Triple Point Technology Inc. (“Triple Point”, or the “Company”). ABRY invested $38 million in Convertible Preferred Stock in Triple Point for a majority ownership position in the Company. Existing management, led by Peter Armstrong and Paul D’Amico, own the remainder of the shares. Triple Point is the leader in trading and risk management information solutions for commodities including power, oil, gas, coal, metals, agricultural products, and freight.

Triple Point is a rapidly growing company serving an expanding and increasingly volatile energy trading marketplace.

Working with ABRY, Triple Point intends to pursue substantial organic growth opportunities as well as growth through complementary acquisitions.
