Court Approves Sale of BearingPoint's Public Services Business to Deloitte

MCLEAN, Va. -- BearingPoint, Inc. today announced that it has entered into definitive agreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), under which PwC will acquire a significant portion of BearingPoint's North American Commercial Services business and associated Global Delivery Centers for $25 million.

This sale is expected to be completed on or before June 30, 2009, and is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and the rules of the bankruptcy court, which, among other things, require that BearingPoint must consider all "higher or better" offers from other potential buyers and obtain court approval. There can be no assurance that the proposed sale will be approved by the court or that the transaction will be completed.

In addition, BearingPoint previously announced on March 23, 2009, that it had entered into a definitive agreement to sell a significant portion of its North American Public Services business to Deloitte LLP for $350 million, subject to adjustment. On April 17, 2009, the court approved this sale, which remains subject to the satisfaction of closing conditions. There can be no assurance that the transaction will be completed.
