Green Mountain Electric Supply Acquires Scott Electric Supply

COLCHESTER, VT – Green Mountain Electric Supply is pleased to announce that it has
acquired certain assets of Scott Electric Supply, located in Fredonia and Depew, NY.

Scott Electric Supply is a two branch, full-service electrical distributor in western New
York covering the Buffalo and eastern Lake Erie shore. The company was wholly owned by Mr.
Sam Scott, who passed away earlier this year. Mr. Scott also founded Scott Electric Company,
headquartered in Greensburg PA, where he was the President until 2012 when the company
became Employee Owned. Scott Electric provided management, operational, accounting, and
other services to Scott Electric Supply but did not own the business.

Since Mr. Scott’s passing, the responsibility of Scott Electric Supply was passed to his
Living Trust and is managed by its Trustees. The Trustees decided to sell certain assets of Scott
Electric Supply to Green Mountain Electric Supply.

On behalf of the Trustees, Bob Coletta, Assistant General Manager and Purchasing
Manager of Scott Electric, said, “It was a tough decision to make, but in the end, it was the best
circumstance for settling Mr. Scott’s affairs with his Living Trust. Our main concern was making
sure all of the employees of Scott Electric Supply would have jobs. Green Mountain was very
accommodating and made sure that would be the case.”

Green Mountain, headquartered in Colchester, VT, has locations in Vermont, New
Hampshire, Maine and western NY. The company has aggressively been growing its western NY
footprint and now has 18 locations throughout western NY, making it the largest independent
electrical distributor in the market.

Nathan Laber, President and CEO of Green Mountain commented “Scott Electric Supply
has a strong presence and great reputation throughout the Buffalo and Fredonia markets. Our
vision for growth, coupled with the Scott Electric Supply locations, employees, and customer
base makes this an exciting opportunity for us. We look forward to welcoming the Fredonia and
Depew Teams to the Green Mountain Electric Supply Family.”
