Coleman Cable to Acquire Copperfield, LLC
Waukegan, IL — Coleman Cable, Inc. (Nasdaq: CCIX) and Copperfield, LLC has announced that Coleman Cable has agreed to acquire all of the equity interests in Copperfield for $213 million in cash. Management believes that the Coleman Cable-Copperfield combination will result in one of the premier U.S. based manufacturers of electrical and electronic wire and cable products. Copperfield, currently majority owned by Spell Capital Partners, is one of the largest private fabricators and insulators of copper electrical wire and cable in the United States. Copperfield sells its wire and cable products to industrial distributors and OEMs which operate in a diversified set of end markets including electrical, recreational vehicle, transportation, appliance and welding cable sectors. Copperfield estimates that its revenues and EBITDA for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 will be approximately $520 million and $35.3 million, respectively. The strategic acquisition of Copperfield broadens the scope of Coleman Cable's product offering, further strengthens its strategic relationships with industrial distributors and increases Coleman's end-market diversity.

Coleman Cable anticipates meaningful expense synergies from the realignment of the combined company's manufacturing footprint and the expected purchasing opportunities resulting from the combination. Excluding expense synergies, Coleman Cable expects the acquisition of Copperfield to be accretive to earnings per share for 2007. Coleman Cable intends to use debt financing to consummate the acquisition. The transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions and approval by necessary regulatory authorities, is expected to be completed during the second quarter of 2007.
