BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. -- Adam Roseman, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of ARC Investment Partners, LLC ("ARC" or the "Company"), the nation's leading principal investor into, and executor of, alternative equity financings through its innovative Merger IPO ("M.IPO(TM)") process, announced today that Steve Magami has been named Managing Director. Bringing extensive experience and a successful track record to the ARC team, Magami is responsible for originating, structuring and executing transactions as well as driving strategic initiatives within ARC's portfolio companies.

"With his impressive background as a private equity principal investor and investment banker Steve is an invaluable asset to the ARC team and our ongoing success," stated Roseman.

Prior to joining ARC Magami was a Principal with Lovell Minnick Partners ("LMP"), a Los Angeles based private equity firm. At LMP he focused on executing leveraged buyouts, recapitalizations, and growth capital investments in the global financial services and business services sectors, where the firm generated top quartile performance. Magami served on the boards of several established portfolio companies where his involvement included guiding business strategy, leading corporate development initiatives, and evaluating and executing acquisitions and divestitures. Before his career with LMP Magami was an investment banker at a boutique merchant bank where he developed and advised on buy-and-build strategies for leading private equity groups.

Magami earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology from the University of California at Santa Barbara where he completed the pre-medical curriculum.

The M.IPO(TM) is an attractive alternative to late stage private equity or a traditional IPO. It can be executed quickly, lacks onerous control provisions and allows companies to maximize their valuation potential while tapping a broad base of institutional investors. Each M.IPO(TM) transaction combines a significant equity financing of $10 to $100 million with a merger into a public entity. Equity financings are provided for growth capital in addition to shareholder liquidity.

ARC ensures a successful transition to the public market by providing a full suite of ongoing portfolio operations and public market support services led by a team of highly experienced investment banking, private equity and operations professionals.

Headquartered in Beverly Hills, CA, ARC's seasoned executive team also consists of: Richard Gammill, Managing Director of Transaction Execution; Michael Kurdziel, Managing Director of Portfolio Operations; Scott Jenkins, Managing Director of Aftermarket Support; and Jason Farber, Vice President of Transaction Execution.
