Teresa Clegg Joins Lincoln International’s Global Aerospace and Defence Industry Group as Vice President to Strengthen its European Operations

LONDON, October 2, 2008 – Lincoln International, a leading global mid-market investment bank, today announced that Teresa Clegg has joined the firm’s London office as a Vice President specialising in aerospace and defence (“A&D”). Teresa will work closely with Eric Malchow, Managing Director in Chicago, and Alyssa Morrisroe, Vice President in Los Angeles. Teresa worked for a number of years with Alyssa at Jefferies International (previously Quarterdeck Investment Partners).

Teresa brings extensive A&D, particularly cross-border, transaction experience and excellent knowledge of a number of industry segments. She is ideally qualified to complement Lincoln International’s global senior A&D group, which in addition to Eric and Alyssa is also represented by Géraud Estrangin in France, Patrick von Herz in Germany, Iván Marina in Spain and Tetsuya Fujii in Japan. Brigadier General Bob Edmonds, who retired after 28 years of service with the United States Air Force and is now located in Washington D.C., acts as an Advisory Director for the group.

“Teresa is an important addition to Lincoln International’s Global Aerospace and Defence group as we strive to build a leading practice within the middle market. She brings strong industry expertise, deep relationships in Europe and extensive execution expertise”, commented Eric Malchow, co-head of Lincoln International’s Global Industrial Group and co-head of the firm’s Aerospace and Defence Group.

In her previous role at Jefferies International, Teresa co-established the company’s UK aerospace and defence business. During her six year tenure, Teresa successfully completed over 20 transactions for a range of corporate and private equity clients. Mandates included mainly sell-side advisory work as well as buy-side advisory, strategic acquisition searches and fairness opinions.

In her earlier career, Teresa worked at CSFB as an analyst after graduating from Cambridge University. She subsequently worked at Merrill Lynch’s chemicals M&A team as an analyst and then associate.

Darren Redmayne, Managing Director & UK CEO said “We are excited that Teresa is joining Lincoln International as the latest senior addition to our London office. In addition to her specialist A&D knowledge which will strengthen the European arm of our global sector team, Teresa is highly regarded by our UK clients.”
