In more than one instance the option indicated by Mirus’ analysis was not the one which would have led to the largest fee, but it was always the one which was demonstrated to be in the best long-term interests of the company’s shareholders.

Elliot Williams Chosen as MHT All-Star
10/17/2005 - Boston, MA
Mass High Tech, The Journal of New England Technology, has named Elliot T. Williams, president of Mirus Capital Advisors, Inc., to its list of 2005 All-Stars. Now in its 10th annual awards program, the Mass High Tech All-Stars award recognizes the region's leaders in New England's innovation economy.
Williams was one of more than 200 people nominated for consideration; he was selected as the top candidate in the financial sector. Since joining Mirus Capital Advisors in 1991, Williams has played a pivotal role in transforming what was a small, specialized M&A boutique into a leading middle market investment bank. He has participated in or managed more than 100 merger, acquisition and private equity and venture capital transactions for software, IT, telecommunications, Internet and technology-enabled business services companies. Williams became the Mirus' president in 2000.
"I am very honored to be chosen as an All Star," said Williams. "In looking at the names of other 2005 honorees as well as the list of people recognized in past years, it is a humbling experience to be included in a group of this high caliber. I also want to thank my partners at Mirus because without the hard work they've put into growing our company, I would not be receiving this honor."
"This year's All-Stars show once again that Massachusetts and the surrounding region is home to not only the nation's, but the world's, brightest minds in technology and innovation today," said Douglas Banks, editor of Mass High Tech. "This year's pool of nominations was one of the strongest in the history of the project."
The honorees will be profiled in a special supplement in the October 24, 2005 edition of Mass High Tech.
An awards celebration and networking reception will be held on October 19, 2005, at The Westin Copley Place, Boston. Additional event information can be found online at https://www.masshightech.com/allstarsreg.asp
"Collectively, our honorees are a prime example of the vibrancy of New England's knowledge economy," said Michael Olivieri, publisher of Mass High Tech. "And the All-Star awards are Mass High Tech"s way of honoring that."
