Cardinal Infrastructure closes $115M Allied Paving acquisition, adds Atlanta self-perform paving
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Consideration of approximately $115.0M: $88.9M in cash plus 1,006,796 Class A shares (CDNL), subject to customary post-closing adjustments.
- Allied Paving generated roughly $100M in standalone revenue; work performed on Cardinal projects will show in margin rather than consolidated revenue.
- Deal expands Cardinal's self-performing capabilities in the Atlanta/Northern Georgia market, per COO Benji Wood.
- Allied CEO John McLean joins Cardinal's leadership team to manage paving operations across Georgia; deal fits Cardinal's founder-led acquisition strategy.
- Wood said Allied's crews let Cardinal sequence paving directly behind grading and site-development teams, shortening project timelines.
