We have very significant growth plans as we expand globally, and EA will continue to be our trusted advisor throughout our journey because they have performed and earned our complete trust.”

EA Markets served as VGM’s  arranger and financial advisor in negotiating financing within VGM’s capital structure and advising the company throughout the merger and acquisition process. This is EA Markets’ fourth transaction with the company.
