FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Capstone Partners Wins Firm of the Year and Transaction of the Year Awards BOSTON, MA – October 15, 2012 – Capstone Partners LLC has just been named “Boutique Investment Banking Firm of the Year” at the M&A Advisor's International Awards Gala, an event recognizing the achievement of top performers in mergers and acquisitions. John Ferrara, President and Managing Partner, and Jacob Voorhees, a Principal and founding member, accepted the award on behalf of Capstone Partners. “Over the past three years, Capstone has made significant strides in the marketplace to further our goal of building the leading, private middle market investment banking firm,” commented Ferrara. “Although we have expanded aggressively within the U.S. via our own acquisitions and investments, our efforts on behalf of our clients in the international markets has been a major area of focus for us, yielding very strong results – both to our clients as well as the firm as a whole.” Jacob Voorhees added, “We are very proud of our success in the international M&A markets and in recent cross-border transactions. Our enhanced capabilities in this area have driven tangible results for our private business owner clients. Beyond securing premium valuations for our clients, our cross-border success is delivering strategic value for them in the form of new markets and distribution channels as well as a broader global presence and product offerings.” Capstone also won the middle-market International Corporate/Strategic Acquisition of the Year Award and was named as a finalist in two other categories, all for its work on the sale of BOB Trailers, Inc. to Britax Group Limited. The transaction marks the international unification of two leading brands in the juvenile and active living consumer segments and created a dominant competitor on a global scale. The Annual International M&A Advisor Summit and Awards Gala is the premier event for professionals in the global M&A industry. The Gala honored the leading deal-teams, deal-makers and firms whose activities set the standard for cross-border transactions. This year, 228 nominees representing over 400 companies were finalists for the awards. An independent judging committee of cross-border industry experts determined the ultimate award recipients. ###
