ACG Cup Started in 2004 by the Los Angeles Chapter of ACG, the ACG Cup is a business school case competition where students, organized into “Investment Banking” teams, analyze a real-life M&A transaction scenario and present their recommendations to a “Board of Directors” comprised of seasoned M&A professionals from within the Southern California ACG community. Teams are rated on criteria such as proper use of valuations techniques, understanding of capital markets conditions and the quality of their presentation skills and strategic advice. The 2012 Southern California ACG Cup involved over 200 students from ten business schools and over 50 volunteer “Board Members” from the community. After winning their individual school competitions, ten finalist teams faced off on February 28th at Chapman University. It was a truly rewarding experience for both the students and volunteers. The team from The Graziadio School of Business and Management at Pepperdine University was selected as the winning team by a unanimous judges vote. The team consisted of four MBA students:

Sean Gray Justin Griffin

Jay Kline Clayton Wyatt

ACG would like to thank Houlihan Lokey for preparing the M&A case and Merrill for providing data site services.
