So how do you know which holding companies are better than others? Aside from a few deal quirks, the management is the only real differentiating factor. That’s why I posted the biographical information. Arthur Spector, the CEO of MSMA, if probably a good bet, given that he has already successfully completed two reverse mergers. Another good bet is Lawrence Burstein, the President of Trinity Partners, which recently announced a deal, has previously executed eight reverse mergers, including the one that THQI public. TEGY, which is looking to do an acquisition in the energy industry, is headed up by Lawrence Cohen, who was previously the CEO of the NYSE-listed Bolivian Power Company, Ltd. Mercator Partners, which is still in registration and looking for an acquisition in the communications industry, is headed by H. Brian Thompson, who previously was “…the Chairman of Comsat International, one of the largest independent telecommunications operators serving Latin America…the Chief Executive Officer of Universal Telecommunications, Inc., a private equity investment and advisory firm, focused on consolidations and start-up companies in the communications industry…the Co-Chairman for the Americas of the Global Information Infrastructure Commission, a multinational organization comprised of international communication industry professionals, the strategic objective of which is to chart the role of the private sector in the developing global information and telecommunications infrastructure…” You get the picture. Heavyweights attract a better deal flow. MSMA will work out; Spector has done this before.
