Ken Moelis, Chief Executive Officer of Moelis & Company, said, “Germany is a critical component of the European and global economy and therefore a strategically significant market for us. Our priority at Moelis & Company is to provide our clients with a global network of information so Herbert’s appointment will further enhance our ability to do so on a global basis. To have attracted a businessman of his experience is a testament to the success of our independent, conflict-free and confidential business model and client offering.”

Under the leadership of Lord Mervyn Davies, Baron Davies of Abersoch, CBE, former Chairman and CEO of Standard Chartered PLC and Minister of State for Trade, Investment and Small Business for the United Kingdom, Moelis & Company announced the formation of its Global Advisory Board in June 2011 with the appointment of five members with global financial, government and economic experience who provide senior counsel and strategic advice on industry issues particularly across international financial markets. The Global Advisory Board members include:

Between 1997 and 2002 he was Minister of Foreign Affairs in Lionel Jospin’s cabinet, and between 1981 and 1995 he was Foreign Affairs Advisor, then Chief of Staff, to French President François Mitterrand.

Lord Davies said, “It has always been our intention to expand the Global Advisory Board with distinguished members who bring us international business perspectives. Herbert’s appointment provides our global clients with access to German Region corporations and further enhances our global network.”

Moelis & Company Announces Key Senior Hires in Australia

New York and Sydney, March 15, 2010

Moelis & Company, the New York-based investment bank, today announced Andrew Pridham will join the firm as Managing Director and Head of Investment Banking for Australia.  Mr. Pridham was most recently Executive Chairman of Investment Banking at JPMorgan Australia.  Additionally, John Steinthal will join the firm as Managing Director and Head of Equities for Australia.  Mr. Steinthal was most recently a co-founder and principal of Edward Baillie Capital and previously was Managing Director and Co-Head of Australasian Equities at UBS.

These appointments follow the establishment of Moelis & Company’s office in Australia in August 2009 with the hire of a corporate finance team and mark the firm’s expansion into equity capital markets and equities research, sales and trading in the Australian market.

“Our team in Australia has had strong momentum in actively advising clients on complex transactions as well as in introducing our unique banking model to the Australian market,” said Ken Moelis, Chief Executive Officer of Moelis & Company.  “Adding an experienced banker and proven business builder like Andrew is a further demonstration of our long-term commitment to providing strategic and independent advisory solutions to new and existing clients.”

“John’s appointment is significant for us as he will drive the development of our product suite to provide corporate and institutional clients with the highest level of coverage and execution of the equities product. His experience having previously run a leading equities franchise will be invaluable to our organisation,” added Mr. Moelis. “Partnering with Andrew and John will help us further leverage the strengths of our existing team and allow us to build an integrated, comprehensive and successful business in the region.”

Mr. Pridham has over 20 years of experience in investment banking and has worked in London, Singapore and Sydney.  As Executive Chairman of JPMorgan’s investment bank in Australia he completed many major M&A, equity raising and other advisory transactions and played a leading role in the significant growth of JPMorgan’s Australian business.  Prior to his six year tenure at JPMorgan, Mr. Pridham spent 12 years at UBS where he held senior roles including Global Head of Real Estate Investment Banking and Head of Investment Banking for Australasia. He was also a member of the UBS Global Investment Banking Management Committee.

“I am excited about the opportunity to join Moelis & Company in its formative stages in Australia.  As an integrated investment banking business, with both advisory and equities capabilities, I am confident we will be able to attract some of Australia’s most talented investment bankers to the firm and build a successful client-focused organisation,” said Mr. Pridham. “We offer executives a culture of partnership in a dynamic growth-focused environment.  In addition, the firm has a strong capital base, an integrated business model and an executive shareholding structure that provides transparency of performance and equity returns.  Moelis & Company has global reach and is widely recognised for the premium standing of its executives, and we intend to leverage this reputation and client focus in the Australian market.”

Mr. Steinthal has over 20 years of experience in equities.  He co-founded Edward Baillie Capital in 2004 to create and manage a successful suite of unlisted alternative investment products.   Previously he was also at UBS in Australia for 14 years, managing a 170-person team as Co-Head of Australasian Equities.  Under Mr. Steinthal’s leadership, UBS was consistently a top-ranked equities franchise in Australia.

“Being able to build our business on the foundation of Moelis & Company’s global brand allows us to offer clients quality research and execution services and have access to capital, which is important for a successful equity capital markets business,” added Mr. Steinthal.  “We feel very well placed to be filling a particular void in the institutional equities market where we can be nimble in adapting our offerings to meet client needs while building on the focused client coverage model that the firm has successfully grown globally.”

Having outgrown its accommodations on Bridge Street in Sydney, Moelis & Company will move to new premises in Sydney’s Governor Phillip Tower later this month.

Moelis & Company Completes Acquisition of Hong Kong-Based Asia Pacific Advisers

New York and Hong Kong, April 14, 2011

Moelis & Company, the New York-headquartered independent investment bank, today announced the closing of its acquisition of Asia Pacific Advisers (“APA”), an independent financial advisory firm based in Hong Kong. The acquisition of APA enhances Moelis & Company’s global footprint and further strengthens its Asia Pacific capabilities, adding an established team in Hong Kong to complement the firm’s growing business in Asia Pacific. The acquisition was first announced in January 2011.

APA’s capabilities include a comprehensive range of advisory services, including mergers and acquisitions, capital markets advisory and restructuring. Since its inception in early 2009, APA has advised on many notable transactions in Asia Pacific, including serving as Joint Financial Advisor to Swire Pacific on the mandatory general offer for HAECO, which valued HAECO at US$2.2 billion, and advising on corporate governance terms between GOME and the founding shareholders of GOME. APA continues to have a growing pipeline of current business with corporates and private equity firms across Asia.

Mark Aedy, Head of Europe, Middle East and Africa Investment Banking for Moelis & Company, said: “As a leading global investment bank, it is critical for Moelis & Company to have a strong presence in Asia. More than ever, clients are seeking global knowledge and perspectives, and being in Hong Kong significantly enhances our ability to deliver that information to them.”

Mr. Orders said, “Working as one cohesive team in Asia will allow us to grow the business and provide our clients with the strategic counsel and uncompromised advice that they are looking for in today’s demanding markets. In particular, we see significant opportunity for advising on capital markets matters and on cross border transactions between companies in Asia and in the other regions where we conduct business.”

Moelis & Company Wins IFR Magazine’s Restructuring Adviser of the Year 2019

London & New York , December 18, 2019

Moelis & Company (NYSE: MC), a leading global independent investment bank, has been awarded IFR Magazine’s coveted Restructuring Adviser of the Year award for 2019 for delivering clients ‘one firm’ across the globe.

IFR judges said: “Moelis prides itself on a ‘one firm’ approach to restructurings, being able to offer the same service to clients from Europe to the US to Asia. That approach proved highly useful in the past year as complex cross-border restructurings, fueled by years of cheap debt, became marquee assignments.”

With approximately 60 per cent of assignments completed out-of-court, Moelis advised on 9 of the 10 largest restructuring assignments in 2019 globally, helping to place it top of the Refinitiv Worldwide Global Restructuring league table 2019 year-to-date.

The IFR judges said Moelis ‘…proved to be a tenacious advocate for its client and continues to stretch the boundaries of what’s possible in a restructuring.” Bill Derrough and Thane Carlston, Co-Heads of Moelis & Company’s Restructuring Team, said: “Since our team joined Moelis in 2008, we have worked on more than $1 trillion of restructuring transactions. In winning this award, we are proud to have been recognized for the work we have done in the past year for clients like iHeart, Noble, Hexion and Neiman Marcus.”

The IFR judges also pointed to Steinhoff as a major highlight of the recent debt restructuring market. Matt Prest and Charles Noel-Johnson, Co-Heads of EMEA Restructuring, said: “Moelis was there at the critical stage at the start and helped save the company from bankruptcy in the first three months.
