Generational Equity Named Runner-Up in the M&A Advisor Boutique Investment Bank of the Year Award

DALLAS, TX, Feb 16 (MARKET WIRE) --
Generational Equity, an advisor to privately held and family-owned
businesses for exit planning, business valuation, and
mergers-and-acquisition services, was named runner-up for the prestigious
M&A Advisor Boutique Investment Bank of the Year Award. This was
Generational Equity's first year to be nominated for the award.

"We are extremely proud and honored to be among this year's nominees,"
said Ryan Binkley, president of Generational Equity. "The M&A Advisor
Awards are widely regarded as the number-one event for M&A professionals,
and we were delighted to find ourselves nominated with some of the top
companies in our industry."

The Middle-Market M&A Awards Gala, which was held on December 15th in New
York City, honors deal teams, deal makers and firms whose activities "set
the standards for the industry," according to M&A Advisor.

Ryan Binkley represented Generational Equity at the event, as well as
other members of senior management from the M&A firm, which is
headquartered in Dallas. "This was a great opportunity to meet with
industry colleagues and take the pulse of middle-market mergers and
acquisitions during these interesting times," said Binkley.

Despite the volatility in the U.S. and global economies, Generational
Equity closed more deals and received more recognition in 2008 than at any
time in its history. This past November, Ryan Binkley was onstage at
Meyerson Symphony Hall to receive the prestigious Dallas 100(TM) award,
with Generational Equity ranked fifth among Dallas's fastest growing
companies.

"The awards and the recognition are certainly gratifying," said Binkley,
"because they are a reflection of our efforts to continuously improve and
better serve our clients."
