Thursday, June 16, 2005

New York - NEW YORK - June 16, 2005 – DOAR, an information services and consulting firm which assists
prominent law firms, major corporations and financial institutions involved in business litigation
and regulatory matters, announced today that it has signed a definitive equity investment
agreement with Veronis Suhler Stevenson, a leading private equity firm. The investment, through
which Veronis Suhler Stevenson will acquire a significant equity interest in DOAR, is intended to
be the first in a series of investments that will be utilized to expand DOAR’s service offerings as
well as its geographical footprint on a national basis. Terms of the transaction were not
disclosed.

DOAR, a New York-based firm founded in 1988, is a single-source provider of a full-range of
information and service solutions for major law firms and Fortune 1000 companies involved in
high stakes business litigation proceedings and lawsuits that require expert knowledge and
assistance in information management, technology and value-added consulting. The Company’s
solutions encompass various forms of litigation support and consulting services embedded into
such disciplines as Document Management, Electronic Discovery, Web-Based Repository, Jury
Consulting, Trial Graphics and Trial Presentation.

“Veronis Suhler Stevenson is a seasoned information services investor that understands our
business and the significant opportunity we have to expand our platform in this rapidly growing
and changing litigation services marketplace,” said Samuel H. Solomon, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer as well as founder of DOAR. “This transaction will further enable our
commitment to consistently provide our clients with the most effective, highest quality information
and service solutions for avoiding or mitigating risk and ultimately achieving successful outcomes
in business litigation and regulatory matters. We are excited to be entering this new phase of
growth for our company, as we add resources and expand our geographic footprint to help the
nation’s most prominent law firms and their clients achieve success in their high-stakes cases.”

"As a result of the extraordinary proliferation of electronic evidence and growth in business
litigation, the demand for high end business information services to the litigation market has been
expanding over the last three years, reaching approximately $3 billion,” said Scott Troeller,
General Partner of Veronis Suhler Stevenson. "DOAR’s complementary suite of services allows
them to access, process, analyze, interpret and present digital information in a manner that puts
them in a perfect position to be at the center of the most complex high stakes litigation matters.
The litigation services industry remains highly fragmented with numerous regional players that
generally lack the full range of capabilities and sophistication that clients are increasingly
demanding. DOAR is well positioned to capitalize on this dynamic through organic growth as well
as acquisition and we look forward to putting our capital and deep knowledge of business
information services to work in supporting the talented management team that has built this
impressive business.”

In addition to the Veronis Suhler Stevenson equity investment and additional equity commitment,
which combined total $55 million, DOAR has also received committed financing from Wells Fargo
Bank to add further resources to its growth and expansion plans.
