CHICAGO, March 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Tom Price, Chairman and President of Price Holdings, Inc., and the firm's Board of Directors are pleased to announce the following executive management promotions at Price Holdings and its subsidiaries. These changes are intended to further strengthen the structure of the company and provide management and strategic continuity as we continue to grow and build the future of our company.

Susanna Jung, currently the COO of the Price Futures Group, Inc., will become President/CEO of Price Futures Group. She has worked for the Price Futures Group for over 15 years and has served successfully in numerous capacities. Sue has worked closely with Tom Price on all aspects of the business. In addition, she has been nominated and accepted a position on the Board of Directors of Price Holdings, Inc.

Jim Baer, currently President/CEO of Uhlmann Price Securities, LLC and a member of the Price Holdings, Inc. Board of Directors, will also become President of Price Holdings.  He has been at the helm of Uhlmann Price since 2001 and was a critical component of the decision to bring Uhlmann into the Price umbrella. Jim will continue in his role as President/CEO of Uhlmann Price which became a wholly owned subsidiary of Price Holdings in 2010.

Alan Konn, currently Executive Vice President of Uhlmann Price Securities, LLC and member of the Price Holdings, Inc. Board of Directors, has accepted the offer to serve as Co-Chairman of Price Holdings serving with Tom Price.  Alan joined Uhlmann Price as a partner and wealth manager in 2003 and will continue to be responsible for the Institutional Client Group for Price Asset Management. Alan has been very involved in most of the critical business and strategic decision making over the past years at the firm and will continue to do so in the more formal role as Co-Chairman of Price Holdings.

The consolidation of our 6 companies into Price Holdings, Inc. and the formation of the Employee Stock Ownership Plan in the beginning of 2010 was a significant step toward building a lasting foundation from which the firm would continue to grow. These management changes represent another important move forward in this process. All of these decisions have been made with a great deal of thought and in what we believe to be in the best interests of our company, our employee/owners and our clients for the many years to come.
