On behalf of The M&A Advisor team, it is my pleasure to welcome you this evening for this celebration. Given the backdrop of COVID-19, I want to personally thank you for your participation as well as the collaborative contributions of our alliance partners, sponsors and judges. Your individual contribution makes it possible to provide this valuable awards program. Since 2002, The M&A Advisor has been recognizing the premier transactions, companies and dealmakers around the world. And, for the 14th year, it is my privilege to return here to The Colony Hotel in Palm Beach for our annual gathering of the elite performers in distressed investing, restructuring, and reorganization industries. Tonight, it is my great pleasure to recognize the highest performing professionals - the winners of the 14th Annual Turnaround Awards - and bestow upon them well- deserved accolades and recognition of their accomplishments. This year we had the privilege of facilitating the judging of the nominations representing over 200 different firms. An independent committee of judges has met the challenge of selecting the winners in the respective award categories who will be recognized this evening. In addition, I am honored to celebrate the accomplishment of one of the industry’s most respected contributor - Jay M. Goffman, Vice President, Global Advisory, Rothschild & Co. - with the 2020 M&A Advisor Lifetime Achievement Award. We’d also like to recognize Sun Capital Partners who achieved the highest recognition of Private Equity Firm of the Decade for the Turnaround Awards. If I may be of assistance to you in any capacity tonight, it will be my pleasure to serve you. I look forward to greeting you in person during this evening’s event.
