DALE HALLOCK

EXPERTISE

I began my professional career in 1972 as an Architect with DLR Group that was founded as an Architecture and Engineering Firm in 1966 by Irv Dana, Jim Roubal and Bill Larson (DLR).  The founders left a family-owned business to realize the benefits of owning a business.  In 1975, they initiated an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan) soon after the United States passed ESOP legislation.  In 1985, the founders sold their ownership to the DLR Group ESOP, and I became the President, representing the Employee Owners.  As President, I led the Company through a 7year leveraged buyout as a C corporation and later converted the company to a Sub Chapter S KSOP in 2004 in addition to forming a deferred compensation plan (iShares) and stock appreciation rights (SARS). DLR Group was purchased in 1985 by the employees for $64 dollars per share with 150 employees and gross revenues of $8 million dollars. Today, DLR Group has over 1,800 employees with gross revenues of $400 million dollars and a stock value of $6,000 per share.
