LockeBridge Advises MetaSoftware on Capital Financing

For Immediate Release

LockeBridge Investment Banking announced today that it has acted as exclusive financial advisor to MetaSoftware, Inc. in securing a complex financing line as an alternative to a standard revolving credit line for the business. Based in Massachusetts, MetaSoftware, Inc., is a leading provider of Enterprise Capacity Planning & Workforce Optimization Software to major banking institutions in North America.
According to Mr. Bob Seltzer, CEO of MetaSoftware, Inc, “During the banking crisis over the last few years the Company had extended payment terms through multi-year license agreements to several global banking organizations. While we pride ourselves in our flexibility in how we structure our business terms to assist our clients, our growth requires that we in turn have access to credit.  Like many small business, during 2009 and 2010 we found, to our dismay, that conventional financing lines were largely unavailable. We were very fortunate to engage Lockebridge who, despite insurmountable odds, secured the desired financing in a matter of weeks. LockeBridge’s deep industry contacts, creative financial engineering and strategic advice has been invaluable to us and is greatly appreciated.”
Mr. Scott Waxler, Managing Partner of Lockebridge states, “Accomplishing MetaSoftware’s objectives during  the height of one of the tightest global debt markets was certainly a challenge.  We are proud to have assisted MetaSoftware, as well as numerous other companies, increase their liquidity during a critical time in their operations.”

LockeBridge Offers Direct Access to European Investment Capital

June 25th 2007

Agreement Executed with Pallas Capital of Vienna, Austria

LockeBridge Investment Banking has announced its partnership with Pallas Capital of Vienna, Austria. The basis of the agreement is to provide LockeBridge clients with direct access to the European investment community thereby taking advantage of the highly valued European currency. Equally important, Pallas Capital clients will benefit from increased exposure to middle market companies seeking capital or acquisition partners.

According to Mr. Scott Waxler, LockeBridge Managing Partner, “it is no secret that the strong European currency is pushing up valuations in the United States. The challenge for middle market companies is gaining access to the foreign investment community. Pallas Capital is in the business of raising capital within the European community. Combining the Pallas capability with our access to global strategic buyers will enable LockeBridge clients to gain access to markets that mid-market corporations would generally not be able to reach.”

Mr. Gerald Horhan, Pallas Executive Director, comments, “while the European community has advanced capabilities enabling participation in larger U.S. transactions, access to middle market transactions is challenging. The partnership with LockeBridge will provide a direct conduit to the attractive North American middle market.”
