Success stories:

Michael Burt - Forbes Mergers & Acquisitions.
**************************************
"After several live demos and unhappy trials with competing data room products, I was like a lost deal dog without a virtual home. In comes Firmex, an absolute superior product in terms of usability and features that immediately could sync with the deal momentum I was after. What looked and felt like a fairly simple tool, was blown open after I was graciously given unlimited access to round the clock tutorials and troubleshooting in order to maximize the many features available. To my point, on a Sunday afternoon at 4pm I received a frantic call from a PEG analyst deep in buyer due diligence, I called in to Firmex and received a phone call back within the hour from the Director of Client Services to troubleshoot and resolve the issue.

Given the direction of the deal making profession where tools once exclusive to bulge bracket I-Banks have now become available to the lower middle market, Firmex is without a doubt the best in class. The response from sellers, attorneys, accountants, lenders, buyers, and our staff internally, all of whom have been introduced to the Forbes deal room, has taken our reputation for running a best practice firm to a new level that has widened the gap from those we compete with for deals."

Daniel Klass, Managing Director, TD Capital Mezzanine Partners.
******************************************************
"We have now completed two transactions on the Firmex virtual deal room. We found the system secure, user friendly and effective as a diligence/organizational tool. We were pleased that our counsel provided the product as part of their service offering."

Testimonial:

Gillian Stacey - Partner & Chair of Technology Committee - Davies Ward Phillips & Vineberg
*****************************************************************************
"Davies is one of the top transactional firms in Canada. Of course this requires top talent, but that talent
has to be supported with the best infrastructure in order to deliver superior service to our clients. Our experience with existing commercial data sites showed that they were somewhat limited. Davies’ experience with the Firmex product has been tremendous. We consider it a major asset to our practice and our clients."

Sean Cahill - Royal Bank Capital Markets
***********************************
"The product quality and customer service at Firmex is unrivaled by any other data room provider in the industry. The Firmex team is always responsive to client needs and exerts a great deal of effort to continually improve the features and functionality of its product set.Firmex is the most cost-effective and innovative data room provider in the space."

Tim Heeney - Partner - Goodmans.
******************************
"Firmex allows us to provide a valuable service to our clients at a significantly lower price than other third party providers. The features, functionality and reliability of Firmex rival or exceed other providers and the customer service is excellent."

Ryan Tizzard - Deloitte.
