AgriCapital adds Dennis McCarthy to AgriCapital Advisors


New York, New York
January 27, 2008

Dennis McCarthy, a veteran investment banker with over 25 years experience, has joined AgriCapital Advisors, AgriCapital’s team of executives and professionals, to serve the special needs of publicly-traded agribusiness companies and to strengthen AgriCapital’s capabilities in growth and renewal financings.

Mr. McCarthy is a long-time colleague of AgriCapital having served as co-advisor on a half dozen deals with AgriCapital over the last decade. His role as a member of AgriCapital Advisors links Mr. McCarthy more closely with AgriCapital to serve clients as one firm.

“Over the last decade, AgriCapital and I have worked together as a seamless team as coadvisors on many projects. I’m confident that our new closer working relationship will yield great benefits for our clients over the next decade.” added Mr. McCarthy.

Mr. McCarthy has served as a senior investment banker with firms including Prudential Securities, Drexel Burnham, EF Hutton, Roth Capital, The Seidler Companies and B. Riley. He brings his experience in serving public companies to enhance and expand AgriCapital’s current focus on public and private companies in the agribusiness industry.

“We’re very pleased to have Dennis McCarthy join AgriCapital Advisors. His experience with public company financing and M&A expands our capability in raising private debt and public equity as well as our skills in public company M&A transactions. Our goal is to bring to each of our clients a complete range of creative ideas and a team of seasoned professions. Dennis’ addition aids in our effort.” commented Rurik Halaby, founder and Chairman of AgriCapital.

Mr. McCarthy’s experience with life science companies includes companies serving the animal kingdom, such as Digital Angel and Destron Fearing as well as companies focused on human health, such as Hycor/Stratagene, SynX, Binax and Epoch Bioscience.

Private debt financings include arranging a mezzanine loan for ReadyPac, the large bag salad company, which raised long-term debt capital but didn’t disrupt its historical senior banking relationships.

“In contrast to the common perception, private debt is available for acquisitions and growth projects. Our clients are seeing great acquisition opportunities at reasonable prices, now. Raising private debt financing on attractive terms can make these acquisitions feasible.” commented Mr. McCarthy.

Twenty-five years ago, AgriCapital pioneered the concept of a professional investment bank providing its services exclusively to agribusiness companies. As we celebrate our silver anniversary, the hallmark of our business remains our commitment to making the customer’s interest paramount in all that we do. Since 1983, over three hundred agribusinesses have benefited from our knowledge, experience, diligence, and perseverance. For comprehensive assistance with mergers and acquisitions, debt and equity financings, or strategic and financial consulting, please contact us by phone, mail, or e-mail.
