\n All-cash transaction valued at approximately $1.0 billion<\/em>\n <\/p>\n

\n Transaction represents a 58% premium, based on Bowman\u2019s closing share price of $27.23 on August 7, 2026<\/em>\n <\/p>\n

RESTON, Va. and BATON ROUGE, La., Aug. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. (NASDAQ: BWMN) (\u201cBowman\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d), a national engineering services and program management firm, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Bernhard Capital Partners (\u201cBernhard\u201d), an infrastructure and services-focused private equity firm. The all-cash, $43.00 per share transaction represents an enterprise value of approximately $1.0 billion.<\/p>\n

The purchase price represents a premium of approximately 58% to Bowman\u2019s unaffected closing share price on Friday, August 7, 2026, and a 57% premium to the Company\u2019s 30-day volume-weighted average share price. Under the terms of the definitive merger agreement, Bowman shareholders will receive $43.00 in cash for each share of Bowman common stock they own. Upon completion of the transaction, Bowman will become a privately held company and BWMN common stock will no longer be listed on the Nasdaq Exchange.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince becoming a public company in 2021, we have significantly expanded Bowman\u2019s capabilities and built a national platform positioned to address increasingly complex infrastructure needs,\u201d said Gary Bowman, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Bowman Consulting Group. \u201cWe are pleased to enter into a transaction that stands to deliver premium cash value to our shareholders, while also ensuring that Bowman will be positioned well for continued growth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bowman continued, \u201cBernhard is a deeply experienced investor who understands our markets, our clients, our acquisition-enabled growth strategy, and respects the entrepreneurial culture that drives our success. We believe their track record of building successful infrastructure services businesses, combined with a long-term partnership approach, will support continued investment in our people, capabilities and clients in support of Bowman\u2019s next phase of growth.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat stands out about Bowman is its reputation for deep technical expertise, proven ability to efficiently execute complex projects, and the scale and diversity it has built across critical infrastructure markets,\u201d said Mark Spender, Partner and Chief Investment Officer at Bernhard. \u201cBowman\u2019s services and end markets are well aligned with Bernhard\u2019s areas of expertise and decades-long track record of building and growing businesses serving the nation\u2019s critical infrastructure. As generationally strong investment continues across infrastructure, utility, and industrial markets, we believe Bowman is ideally positioned to capitalize on these trends. We\u2019re excited to partner with their team to support the continued growth of their business.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n Go-Shop Provision <\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

Under the terms of the definitive merger agreement, Bowman, along with its financial and legal advisors, will be permitted to actively solicit, consider and negotiate alternative acquisition proposals from third parties during a 35-day \u201cgo-shop\u201d period, concluding at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on September 13, 2026. In certain circumstances, Bowman and its advisors may continue to negotiate with parties who, during the go-shop period, make a proposal that the Bowman Board of Directors determines in good faith either constitutes a superior proposal (as defined in the definitive merger agreement) or is reasonably likely to lead to a superior proposal.<\/p>\n

Subject to complying with the specific terms and conditions set out in the definitive merger agreement, Bowman will have the right to terminate the merger agreement to enter into an alternative transaction that the Bowman Board of Directors has determined constitutes a superior proposal.<\/p>\n

There can be no assurance that the go-shop process will result in a superior proposal as defined under the terms of the definitive merger agreement. The parties do not intend to disclose developments with respect to the go-shop process unless and until they determine such disclosure is appropriate or required by law.<\/p>\n

\n Additional Transaction Details<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

The transaction was unanimously approved by Bowman\u2019s Board of Directors and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of calendar year 2026 or the first quarter of calendar year 2027, subject to approval by Bowman shareholders, receipt of required regulatory approvals and the satisfaction or waiver of other customary closing conditions.<\/p>\n

Certain holders of approximately 15.3% of Bowman\u2019s current voting power have entered into voting agreements to support the transaction.<\/p>\n

\n Bowman\u2019s Q2 2026 Earnings Results<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

In a separate press release today, Bowman announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2026. In light of the transaction announcement with Bernhard, Bowman\u2019s previously scheduled earnings call on August 11, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. EDT, has been canceled.<\/p>\n
