He holds an MBA degree from Santa Clara University in California and is a member of the prominent Batista family in Brazil that includes Eliezer Batista, the founder of Vale do Rio Doce Co.

MMX, OGX, MPX, CCX and LLX are listed on Brazil's Novo Mercado at the Sao Paulo Stock Exchange (BOVESPA). The combined market capitalization of EBX Group companies exceeds $20-billion (U.S.).

From 1994 to 2001, Mr. Manternach was a vice-president of investment banking at JPMorgan, where he advised on mergers and acquisitions, and raised capital for financial sponsors and corporate clients in a wide variety of industries, including metals and mining, paper and packaging, telecom, media, and technology. Mr. Manternach holds an MBA from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and a BS in electrical engineering with distinction from Iowa State University. John Lee, chairman of Prophecy, states: "Harald brings top-tier international networking, and Myron brings expert mergers and acquisitions, and financial guidance to Prophecy.
