TUSTIN, CA / ACCESSWIRE / October 15, 2014 / Premier Holding Corporation (OTCQB: PRHL), an energy seller and reseller in deregulated markets, announces that it has officially retained Maxim Group LLC, a leading investment banking, securities and investment management firm, to provide strategic corporate finance and investment banking services. Maxim will focus on assisting Premier in its strategies for maximizing shareholder value through its full scope of investment banking services.
Last month, Premier signed a Definitive Agreement to acquire Lexington Power and Light, LLC of New York, a Company engaged in the sale of retail electricity and natural gas to residential and commercial end-users. About two weeks ago, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission authorized the transactions clearing the way for acquisition to be completed. The purchase of Lexington Power and Light LLC is a major part of Premier's larger plan to provide "everything energy" to its thousands of clients and the massive potential energy market. The new subsidiary will also allow Premier to leverage the marketing success of energy brokers such as its current subsidiary, The Power Company (TPC), and eventually create new energy efficiency prospects for E3, allowing Premier to further its plan of integration in this sector.
PRHL's President and CEO Randall Letcavage stated, "This may prove to be the most significant milestone event for our Company. After considerable and careful deliberation, we selected Maxim Group LLC to be our new investment banker and advisor. Maxim is clearly capable of managing our needs for capital as we enter a stage of hyper-growth as an energy supplier. Additionally, Maxim will assist in increasing our exposure in the investment community that, in turn, could enhance shareholder value."
Karl Brenza, Senior Managing Director in the Investment Banking department, commented, "We are delighted to partner with Premier Holding Corp. in the financial and value creation components of its corporate strategy through our full-service investment banking capabilities. We look forward to working with management at PRHL with strategic planning, partnerships, transactions, and introduction of the Company to the investment community."
