Denver, CO (PRWEB) January 16, 2008 -- Shareholder Representative Services LLC (SRS) today announced that it has been appointed as the representative of the former stockholders of Sidestep, Inc. following the company's recent merger with Kayak Software Corporation. Sidestep's selling stockholders include Trident Capital, Norwest Venture Partners and Saints Capital.
"We are very happy to be working with SRS on this transaction," said Howard Zeprun, Chief Administrative Officer and General Counsel, Trident Capital. "On prior successful sales of our portfolio companies, we always had the one bittersweet issue of having to worry about who would serve as the shareholder representative. With SRS, we know that the post-closing process for our deal is being professionally managed allowing us to focus on the companies still in our portfolio and on finding new investment opportunities."
