LDV Capital Management President/Founder, James DePelisi, commented: "With a current weak dollar valuation, relative to foreign currencies, Miami - South Beach has consistently proven to be an attraction for international business and investment. Hence, Texas De Brazil, South Beach, should be an engaging venue to hear about one of Florida's largest financial institutions."

Mr. DePelisi further stated, "BankAtlantic is one of the oldest and largest community banks in Florida. With everything occurring in the economy, particularly in the banking industry, we believe BankAtlantic is a compelling company to study and evaluate, particularly since it recently recorded positive earnings after many quarters of losses."
