August 1, 2005 Entrepreneurs in Pensacola and the gulf coast market will now have a new resource for their investment Banking needs. Legacy Securities Corp., a leading Southeastern-based investment and merchant bank operating in Atlanta, Georgia, has established a new presence in Pensacola to serve the needs of its growing client base. Chris Battel, President & Managing Director, will anchor the Pensacola location.

“We are excited about the new Pensacola presence,” said Legacy Securities Corp. Chairman & CEO, Michael D. Easterly.   Along with our location in Atlanta, it provides us with increased coverage in the Southeast and a better opportunity to work on behalf of clients throughout the greater gulf coast area,” he said.

The firm offers a full range of investment and merchant banking services including capital raising, mergers & acquisitions, divestitures/exclusive sales as well as leveraged buyouts and restructurings. Legacy also invests in established middle market and up-and-coming companies through its merchant banking arm Legacy Capital Partners. Legacy’s CEO Sounding Board service which was specifically designed for the support and backstopping of Boards of Directors, Chief Executive and/or Chief Financial Officers of public or significant private corporations is another service which the firm provides. Legacy primarily focuses on companies with revenues in the $10 million to $250 million range and dedicates itself to the entrepreneur.  At Legacy, clients enjoy the benefits of individual attention offered by a boutique firm with the superior experience, resources, access to capital and spectrum of services equal to those of larger investment banks.
