STONEHENGE GROWTH CAPITAL
RAISES $200 MILLION JUNIOR DEBT INVESTMENT FUND
NEW YORK, N.Y., BATON ROUGE, L.A., DALLAS, T.X., DENVER, C.O., TAMPA, F.L. April 30, 2007 — Stonehenge Growth Capital (“SGC”), the principal investment group of Stonehenge Capital Company, LLC (“Stonehenge”), has raised a $200 million junior debt investment fund, bringing its total assets under management to $735 million.
The Stonehenge Growth Capital Fund (“SGCF”) will support privately-held lower middle market businesses with value added capital of a variety of debt structures. Through Stonehenge’s strategically located offices in the Northeast, Southeast, Southwest and Mountain West, SGCF invests up to $20 million in each transaction to support growth related working capital, buyouts, recapitalizations and acquisitions.
“We have developed a strong multi-regional presence across our footprint,” said A. David Kocen, SGC Partner. “This new fund is our platform for penetrating more deeply into our existing markets and for flexible leveraging of our proven junior lending capabilities into other markets.”
“We pride ourselves on our ability to develop strong relationships and to deliver on our commitments,” added Andrew Aye, SGC Partner. “This additional capital will provide a great benefit to our existing portfolio companies and to our network of private equity sponsors, senior lenders, professional firms and other trusted business advisors.”
SGC invests in a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, distribution, business services, information technology and others. Additionally, by virtue of its depth in certain key geographies, SGC has developed meaningful industry expertise in the energy services sector.
“This fund bolsters our capacity and flexibility to meet the growing needs of our existing and prospective client base of marine, oilfield and petro-chemical service companies,” said Nemesio J. Viso, SGC Partner. “These increasingly capital intensive sectors will continue to be a strong focus of our investment activity across SGC’s energy belt offices in Louisiana, Texas and Colorado.”
“Stonehenge traces its junior debt investment history back to the mid-1980’s,” said Thomas Adamek, President of Stonehenge. “The principal investment team of SGC is poised to carry our seasoned, disciplined and thoughtful investment culture forward to meet the capital needs of a range of growing companies through all seasons of the business cycle.”
Stonehenge Growth Capital represents the private equity, lending and venture capital group of Stonehenge Capital Company, LLC. From its five offices, SGC directly originates and manages private equity, debt and venture capital investments across the country.
