## Touch 1 | Call Script

"Hi Alex, this is Tyler with Morgan Samuels. I’m reaching out because I saw Catchment agreed to acquire Isolatek International from SK Capital. That stood out less as a headline and more as a platform execution moment.

Isolatek sits in a code-driven, spec-influenced part of construction products, with exposure to commercial, institutional, data center, and advanced manufacturing markets. In businesses like that, the leadership question is usually not only whether the current team is strong. It is whether the operating, finance, and commercial bench is built for the next sponsor-owned phase.

At Morgan Samuels, we work with private equity firms and portfolio companies on senior leadership needs tied to scale, change, operating improvement, and value creation. Most often that means CEO, CFO, COO, CRO, CHRO, or key C+1 roles where the investment thesis depends on execution.

I’m not calling with a search pitch. I thought there could be a relevant conversation around how you think about leadership risk across diligence, transition, and early value creation for a platform like Isolatek. I’ll send a short note as well. If useful, I’d be glad to compare notes for 15 minutes."

"Hi Alex, this is Tyler with Morgan Samuels. I saw Catchment agreed to acquire Isolatek International and wanted to reach out. A new sponsor-owned platform in passive fireproofing usually raises practical questions around leadership depth, operating cadence, and commercial execution, especially with exposure to data center and advanced manufacturing demand. That is where we tend to be relevant with PE-backed businesses. I’ll send a short email with context. If useful, happy to connect. My number is [your number]."

## Touch 1 | Email

Subject line options:
- Thought on Isolatek
- Catchment / Isolatek
- A practical lens on Isolatek

Hi Alex,

I saw Catchment agreed to acquire Isolatek International from SK Capital. The part that stood out is the operating profile, not just the transaction.

Passive fireproofing is a code-driven, specification-influenced category, and Isolatek’s exposure to commercial, institutional, data center, and advanced manufacturing markets likely puts real weight on execution. For a new sponsor-owned platform, the question is often whether the leadership bench is built for the plan, particularly across finance, operations, and commercial leadership.

That is where we tend to be useful at Morgan Samuels. We work with PE firms and portfolio companies on retained senior leadership work tied to scale, change, operating improvement, and value creation.

If useful, I would be glad to compare notes on leadership risk across diligence and early value creation.

## Touch 2 | Email

Subject line options:
- Where Isolatek may get more complex
- The execution layer at Isolatek
- Platform leadership after close

Hi Alex,

One reason I reached out is that Isolatek looks like the kind of platform where the execution layer matters early.

The business is not simply selling a construction product. It sits around life safety, building codes, contractors, specifiers, distributors, and project-driven demand. That often creates a different leadership requirement than a more straightforward industrial materials business.

The practical questions tend to become:
- Is the finance function built for sponsor-level cadence
- Does operations have enough depth for consistency and scale
- Is the commercial team aligned to how demand is actually created
- Where does the management team need to evolve without disrupting what already works

I can also send a short PE one-pager on where we tend to be useful before and after a formal senior search is defined.

If that is relevant, I’d be glad to compare notes.

Purpose of this touch: Translate the Isolatek platform into the underlying execution complexity and introduce Morgan Samuels as useful before a role is fully specified.

## Touch 3 | Email

Subject line options:
- The leadership risk usually shows up early
- Before the search is obvious
- Where platform risk tends to sit

Hi Alex,

A pattern we see with sponsor-backed platforms is that the leadership issue often starts before anyone calls it a search.

It usually shows up in one of three places:
- The company is strong historically, but the next plan requires a different operating rhythm
- The sponsor needs sharper visibility into which executives can scale and which roles need upgrading
- The commercial or finance function becomes the constraint before the board expected it

That is why I reached out on Isolatek. In a spec-driven, safety-critical construction products business, leadership risk can sit in less obvious places than the top box.

We are often most useful helping sponsors clarify that risk, then identifying the right CEO, CFO, COO, CRO, CHRO, or C+1 leader where the thesis requires it.

If useful, I’d welcome a brief conversation.

Purpose of this touch: Reframe the opportunity around early leadership risk, not an open role, and make the outreach feel like pattern recognition.

## Touch 4 | Text

Hi Alex, Tyler with Morgan Samuels. I reached out by email after seeing Catchment’s Isolatek deal. Relevant because new platforms in code-driven construction products often raise early questions around leadership depth and execution cadence. Happy to connect briefly if useful.

## Touch 4 | Bump Email

Subject: Re: Thought on Isolatek

Hi Alex,

Keeping this brief. I reached out because Isolatek looks like a platform where leadership depth could matter early, especially across finance, operations, and commercial execution.

If this is on your radar as Catchment moves through ownership transition and value creation planning, I’d be glad to compare notes.

Purpose of this touch: Keep the sequence moving with a short, low-friction reminder of the core business reason for the outreach.

## Touch 5 | Email

Subject line options:
- Where Morgan Samuels tends to be useful
- Senior leadership around platform builds
- A practical search lens for Isolatek

Hi Alex,

To put a finer point on where we fit: Morgan Samuels is most useful when the leadership need is tied to a specific value creation agenda, not when a company is simply trying to fill a seat.

In a platform like Isolatek, that can mean assessing whether the current team maps to the next phase, defining the real executive gap, or identifying senior leaders who can operate in a sponsor-backed environment without overbuilding the company.

We have done relevant work in adjacent sponsor-backed B2B and built-environment contexts, including a President search for ANDMORE, backed by Oaktree.

I mention that only because Isolatek looks like a business where the operating model, commercial motion, and leadership structure all need to line up.

If useful, I’d be glad to connect.

Purpose of this touch: State Morgan Samuels’ value proposition more clearly and use one adjacent proof point without overstating sector equivalence.

## Touch 6 | Alternate Email

Subject line options:
- Another angle on Isolatek
- Leadership access around new platforms

Hi Alex,

Another angle that may be relevant is operator access.

For new platforms, sponsors often benefit from knowing credible executives and advisors before there is a defined search. That can help pressure-test where the leadership risk actually sits, especially in categories where operations, channel, specification, and end-market exposure all interact.

That may or may not be useful for Isolatek, but it is often where conversations with us start. Not with a mandate, but with a practical discussion around what the business will need from leadership in the first 12 to 24 months.

If relevant on your side, I’d be glad to compare notes.

Why this channel is appropriate or not: LinkedIn is available, but for a Founder and Managing Partner on a specific transaction, an alternate email is the cleaner channel. It keeps the outreach businesslike and tied to the investment context rather than creating an unnecessary social touch.

## Touch 7 | Final Email

Subject line options:
- Last note on Isolatek
- Closing the loop on Isolatek
- Final note

Hi Alex,

I’ll leave it here after this note.

My reason for reaching out was straightforward: Catchment’s acquisition of Isolatek looks like the kind of new platform where leadership clarity can have an outsized effect on early value creation.

The company sits in a technical, code-driven construction products category, with exposure to demanding end markets. That usually makes the senior team question more practical than theoretical.

If the timing is ever right, I’d be glad to compare notes. We work with sponsors and portfolio companies on retained senior leadership needs tied to scale, operating improvement, commercial acceleration, and value creation.

Purpose of this touch: Close the sequence with dignity while reinforcing why the Isolatek trigger was relevant.

---

1. Main angle of the sequence: Catchment’s Isolatek acquisition creates a new platform execution moment where leadership depth, operating cadence, finance discipline, and commercial capability may directly affect value creation.

2. Strongest touch: Touch 1 Email, because it connects the specific nature of Isolatek’s business to a credible senior leadership implication without sounding like a generic search pitch.

3. Where it could become repetitive if not edited carefully: The sequence repeats finance, operations, and commercial leadership several times; if Alex responds or if more company detail emerges, later touches should narrow to one sharper issue.

4. What still requires human judgment: Whether Catchment views Isolatek as a standalone platform build, a transition from prior sponsor ownership, or part of a broader construction products thesis. That will determine whether the best entry point is CEO, CFO, COO, CRO, or operator/advisor access.
