Overview
ACG Kentucky’s Deal of the Year highlights Middle Market corporate growth in the region and the M&A dealmakers and professional advisors involved in bringing these transactions to a successful conclusion.
Meet the senior management team behind the deal and the professional advisors who contributed to the transaction.
The winning deal is judged by these criteria:
- Did the deal involve a Louisville-area principal office, headquarters or substantial operations located in the metro area?
- Did the transaction provide a successful exit for local founders or investors?
- Was local investment, finance and private equity involved?
- What were the comparative deal metrics? How did it change the business landscape? What was the industry and marketplace impact (Deal size in dollars, number of employees, etc.)
The ACG Kentucky Deal of the Year has recognized a number of notable Louisville companies since its inception.
Past winning honorees include Vac2Go (2024), Churchill Downs Incorporated (2023), Stock Yards Bank and Appriss (2022), Family Allergy & Asthma and LouVino (2021), DDW (2020), 21c Museum Hotels (2019), Liquor Barn (2018), KFI Furniture (2017), and Angel's Envy (2016). It has also recognized Rabbit Hole distillery, DDR, Almost Family, CIAgent, Kindred Healthcare and Trilogy Health Services, for their M&A contributions.
