Technology Financial Services

Gladstone Investment Corporation, a publicly traded business development company, announced its acquisition of DHE Computer Systems, LLC, a full-service technology solutions provider headquartered in Centennial, Colorado. The transaction was financed through a combination of debt and equity. DHE serves state, local, education, and commercial markets with end-to-end IT products and lifecycle services. The existing management team, led by CEO Dan Hammack, will continue to lead the business, and founders Dan Hammack and Elena Hammack will remain meaningful shareholders alongside Gladstone Investment. The acquisition aligns with Gladstone Investment's strategy of partnering with founder- and management-owned lower middle market businesses to generate stable income and capital appreciation.
