Newcourt Capital Launches US$135 million Mezzanine Investment Club
New alliance deepens Newcourt Capital's presence in the
middle market corporate M&A arena
Parsippany, New Jersey, September 23, 1999 - Newcourt Capital, the
Corporate Finance business of Newcourt Credit Group, today announced the
establishment of the Newcourt Capital Mezzanine Club, a US$135 million
investor club with major North American financial institutions designed
to invest in equity enhanced mezzanine securities in middle market merger
and acquisition transactions.
The Club will provide mezzanine financing for leveraged buyout,
acquisition and recapitalization transactions identified and structured
by Newcourt Capital's Merchant Banking group. Typically, such
transactions will involve companies that have annual revenues in the $50
to $500 million range, established market positions and well-defined
business plans designed to achieve growth. Targeted sectors include
consumer products, service businesses, wholesale and distribution,
manufacturing, and medical and health care.
"This new Club deepens Newcourt Capital's presence in the mid-sized
corporate M&A market and is consistent with Newcourt's strategy of
partnering with leading institutional investors to meet our client's
total financing needs," said David McKerroll, President of Newcourt
Capital. "Building on the strength and expertise of our "blue chip"
partners, this new alliance rounds out the products we offer our M&A
clients."
"A number of mezzanine funds have been established in the last year to
service the North American market," said Rob Golding, Managing Director
of Newcourt Capital's Merchant Banking group. "What differentiates this
arrangement is its exclusive focus on middle market clients and its
structure as a truly participatory investment club allowing investors to
be actively involved in investment decisions."
Building on the strength of Newcourt Capital's structuring expertise, the
Club will provide timely and efficient access to superior M&A financing
solutions that include senior debt, mezzanine financing and equity.
Since its inception in late 1996, Newcourt Capital's Merchant Banking
group has provided over US$725 million in acquisition, buyout and
recapitalization solutions for middle market companies in both the US and
Canada.
Newcourt Capital is the corporate finance business of Newcourt Credit
Group, one of the world's leading sources of asset-based financing
serving the corporate and commercial markets with owned and managed asset
of US$24.5 billion and a global capability in 26 countries.
