TORONTO, Nov. 28, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mount Logan Capital (NEO:MLC) (“Mount Logan” or the Company”) is pleased to announce its commitment of US$10m (to be drawn over time) to invest alongside BC Partners Advisors L.P. (“BCP”) in a unitranche lending program.
The program will underwrite and hold senior, secured unitranche loans seeking to build a diverse portfolio of floating rate, sponsor-backed middle-market loans paying a quarterly cash yield. The portfolio will benefit from senior financing resulting in attractive risk-reward investment opportunities. Pre-negotiated terms amongst participants will increase speed-of execution, strengthening attractiveness to sponsors.
“Unitranche loans are increasingly in demand from sponsors as they can secure financing from a single source which means more efficient execution, less syndication risk and fewer parties to negotiate with.” said Ted Goldthorpe, CEO and Chairman of Mount Logan. “Mount Logan and BCP Credit intend to remain selective and disciplined in aggressive markets therefore providing participants in the program with exposure to an attractive and diversified pool of loans."
Further information about the Company is available to shareholders under the Company’s profile on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR) at www.sedar.com.
