Newcourt Provides C$191 million Acquisition Finance
for Scott's Restaurants
Toronto, Canada October 29, 1999 - Newcourt Capital, the corporate
finance business of Newcourt Credit Group, today announced financial
close on a C$191 million financing for the C$236.8 million acquisition
of Scott's Restaurants Inc. by SR Acquisition Corporation, a company
controlled by John Bitove Jr., who will be the new Chairman of
Scott's. Newcourt Capital structured, arranged and underwrote the
C$191 million as a bridge credit facility and equity co-investment.
Scott's is North America's largest KFC franchisee with 338 KFC
restaurants in Ontario, Alberta and Quebec. Scott's owns 58
individual restaurant units, including Wendy's, Tim Hortons, Mr. Sub,
Nicholby's and Baskin Robins, in 17 highway service centres across
Ontario.
"This is an excellent example of the type of timely creative solutions
Newcourt Capital provides in North America's M&A market," said David
McKerroll, President of Newcourt Capital. "In a short timeframe, we
arranged and underwrote a financing structure that met the client's
requirements, including both debt and equity."
"Scott's is an excellent investment and is ideal for Newcourt's one-
stop financing solution," said Rob Golding, Managing Director of
Newcourt Capital's Merchant Banking group. "The combination of John
Bitove Jr.'s experience and the quality team at Scott's will make this
company even stronger in the future."
Since its inception in late 1996, Newcourt Capital's Merchant Banking
group has provided over C$1.3 billion in financing for acquisitions,
buyouts and recapitalizations to the Canadian and US corporate market.
Newcourt Credit Group is one of the world's leading sources of asset-
based financing serving the corporate and commercial markets with a
global capability in 26 countries. Newcourt recently announced that it
is joining forces with The CIT Group (NYSE: CIT) to create the largest
publicly owned commercial finance company with over US$50 billion in
managed financial assets. The transaction has received regulatory and
shareholder approval and is expected to close sometime in the fourth
quarter.
