Cubic Corporation (“Cubic” or the “Company”) today announced that Stevan Slijepcevic has been appointed President and Chief Executive Officer and that Mac Curtis has been appointed Chairman of the Board. Messrs. Slijepcevic and Curtis succeed Bradley H. Feldmann, who has stepped down as Chairman, President and CEO.

Cubic is backed by Veritas Capital (“Veritas”), a longstanding investor in companies operating at the intersection of technology and government, and Evergreen Coast Capital Corporation (“Evergreen”), the technology-focused private equity affiliate of Elliott Investment Management, L.P.

A seasoned executive with over 25 years of operational experience, Mr. Slijepcevic recently served as President of Electronic Solutions at Honeywell Aerospace, a diversified technology and manufacturing company serving customers in commercial air transport, defense, space, business and general aviation and urban air mobility.

He most recently served as Chairman and CEO of Perspecta (NYSE: PRSP), a leading U.S. government IT solutions and services provider, recently acquired by Veritas as part of Peraton. Prior to that, Mr. Curtis was the President and CEO of Vencore, a provider of highly technical government technology solutions, and Vangent, a provider of information technology and business process outsourcing to government customers. Both Vencore and Vangent were former Veritas portfolio companies. As Chairman, Mr. Curtis will work closely with the Board and the Company’s executive team to drive strategy and execution at Cubic.

“Cubic has an unparalleled history of creating critical integrated solutions for its customers, forming deep relationships predicated on its industry-leading ability to address the mission-critical needs of our customers,” said Mr. Slijepcevic. “With a strong foundation in place and clear opportunities ahead, Cubic is at an exciting inflection point. I am excited to leverage my operational expertise and experience growing diversified businesses – in partnership with the talented Cubic team, Mac and the rest of the Board – as Cubic embarks on its next era of growth as a private company."

“Cubic’s focus on innovation and customer service has driven its rapid growth and success to date,” said Mr. Curtis. “On behalf of the Board, we are grateful to Brad for his leadership over the past two plus decades, which established a strong foundation and positioned Cubic as an industry leader.”

Mr. Curtis continued, “Now, with enhanced opportunities following completion of the go-private transaction, the Board is confident that Steve is the right leader for Cubic as the Company embarks on its next chapter. I look forward to working with Steve and the Board as Cubic captures the opportunities ahead.”
