M·CAM Names Adam L. Tepper Managing Director of Global Capital Markets

January 25, 2010 –– M·CAM is pleased to introduce Adam L. Tepper as Managing Director of Global Capital Markets. He brings nearly 14 years experience in finance, capital markets and strategic development to his role at M·CAM. Adam’s responsibilities include sourcing, structuring and managing M·CAM’s capital structure. Additionally, Adam is responsible for corporate development and financial strategic development. Prior to M·CAM, Adam was a founding Principal of GroundWork Equity, LLC.

Adam worked as an investment banker at Prudential Securities in the asset–backed finance group. During his three years at Prudential, Adam structured and raised nearly $5 billion in asset–backed securities (ABS) backed by both consumer as well as commercial assets. Additionally, he helped to structure and set–up a joint–venture between Prudential and Charles A. Koppleman, CAK Universal Credit Corp., to provide financing to entertainers by taking future royalties as collateral against loans.

He was selected, with his Prudential team, by Credit Suisse First Boston to join CSFB’s structured finance team. Over the next five years, Adam applied his expertise in structured finance to the aircraft leasing, airline and rail industries during which time he helped to generate in excess of $100 million in revenue to CSFB through a variety of corporate finance activities. These projects included the structuring and sale of over $5 billion in aircraft–backed debt and equity securities, the $3+ billion restructuring of Brazil’s largest airline (TAM Airlines) and a $500+ million, out–of–court restructuring of Pegasus Aviation, Inc. which included a $250 million private equity recapitalization by OakTree Capital. Pegasus Aviation was subsequently sold to Terra Firma for approximately $5 billion.

Adam graduated in 1996 from The Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania with concentrations in finance and entrepreneurial management.
