Form DEFA14A Bowman Consulting Group

I have important news to share with you all. This morning, we announced that Bowman has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Bernhard Capital Partners, an infrastructure and services-focused investment firm based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The structure of this agreement is an all-cash transaction that values Bowman at $43.00 per share, or approximately $1 billion. This represents a significant premium over our stock price as of Friday’s closing.

When we took Bowman public five years ago, we did it to accelerate our growth and our reach. We have done that and more, and the compelling value reflected in this transaction is a testament to the respect our business has earned in our industry and to the incredible people at the heart of our work. I have tremendous gratitude for the way our team has consistently shown up through different chapters and market environments. This represents an exciting opportunity for us to enter a new chapter that will allow us to continue growing the business and pursuing the mission we have embraced for more than three decades.

I also recognize that a development like this naturally introduces an element of uncertainty. As a public company, our Board has a fiduciary responsibility to evaluate and weigh the full landscape of value-enhancing opportunities for our shareholders. We have come to know Bernhard from its many years investing in our sector, and they certainly understand what we do in a sophisticated way. Moreover, they respect our people, our technical discipline, and they have a real appreciation for the long-term nature of our work. Through our conversations, it became clear that they have a vision to provide Bowman with a platform where the business can focus on building and executing well into the future.

It’s important to note that the transaction contains a “go-shop” provision. This allows the Board to actively solicit, consider and

negotiate alternative acquisition proposals from third parties for a period of time prior to the stockholder meeting to approve our transaction with Bernhard. While the go-shop period in addition to customary closing conditions means the process is not yet complete, we believe the transaction with Bernhard represents an exciting path forward for our company and our people.

I want to reassure you that nothing changes in our day-to-day work as a result of today’s announcement. Until this transaction officially closes, which we expect to occur in the fourth quarter of calendar year 2026 or the first quarter of calendar year 2027 (subject to the completion of the go-shop period and several other conditions), Bowman and Bernhard Capital Partners remain separate entities.

I’ve also provided an FAQ document that I hope will be helpful in answering some of your initial questions. We will keep you informed as this process unfolds, and there will be plenty of opportunities to make sure questions are addressed. For any inquiries you may receive from clients or suppliers, please route those to your Divisional Manager or Executive Leader.

Over the past 31 years, we have grown from a small engineering outfit into a nationwide platform of more than 2,500 team members working on some of the most complex infrastructure projects in the country. It has been and remains the privilege of my career to lead this team. Over the coming weeks and months, I would ask for your support, flexibility, and continued dedication as we work through these details.

I am confident that this transaction will position our platform, our work, and our people for long-term success.
