    Appointment brings deep industry experience to buyside investment platform

    Elizabeth Park Capital Management, a leading alternative investments platform specializing in depository institutions, announced today the appointment of financial services veteran J. Franklin Hall as partner and deputy portfolio manager. Hall's extensive industry expertise and leadership is expected to play a key role in driving EPCM's growth and enhancing the firm's investment strategies and operations.

    "Frank's deep knowledge of the financial services sector, coupled with his track record of delivering operational excellence, makes him a tremendous asset to Elizabeth Park," said Fred Cummings, EPCM president and founder. "His exceptional leadership and insider perspective will significantly strengthen our ability to generate value for our clients and accelerate our firm's growth, positioning us for even greater success in the years ahead."

    Before joining EPCM, Hall was CFO at Radian Group, Inc. (NYSE:RDN), where he transformed the company's capital structure, resulting in investment-grade credit ratings. He also served as COO and CFO of First Financial Bancorp (NASDAQ:FFBC) in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he helped guide the firm through the 2008 Global Financial Crisis and a series of transformative acquisitions and operational enhancements. Hall began his career at Ernst & Young before joining Firstar Bank (now U.S. Bank) in its credit card division.

    "Elizabeth Park's reputation as an insightful, value-driven investor is unparalleled, and I'm excited to join Fred and the team to help continue building on the firm's strong foundation," said Hall. "I look forward to working alongside such a talented group to enhance EPCM's success further and deliver exceptional results for our clients."
