Capital Solutions Announces Two Deal Closings

The Capital Solutions Group (“Capital Solutions”) announced today the closing of two sponsored transactions in February:

• $44 Million Debt Capital Raise – Sponsor New Platform:  Capital Solutions was engaged as exclusive advisor to raise $44 million of “one-stop” debt financing to support a Sponsor’s investment in a new platform company.
• Recapitalization – Sponsor-Owned Professional Services Company:  Capital Solutions was engaged by the portfolio company of a Sponsor to advise on a balance sheet restructuring that culminated in the repurchase of the company’s existing senior secured debt by the Sponsor and management at a significant discount.  The Sponsor retained majority control.  
  

“We were excited to close both of these successful transactions for sponsor-backed companies thus far in 2011”, commented Partner Brad Stewart, who led both transactions for Capital Solutions.  “These transactions highlight our debt capital raising capabilities for sponsored new platforms and our balance sheet recapitalization capabilities for existing portfolio companies of sponsors in the middle market.”
