The Special Committee of the Board of Directors of Medley Capital
Corporation (NYSE: MCC) (“MCC”) is pleased to announce that on
October 8, 2020, MCC, MCC Senior Loan Strategy JV I LLC (the “MCC
JV”), the other holder of membership interests in the MCC JV (the
“Other MCC JV Member”), and an affiliate of Golub Capital LLC
(“Golub”) entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement
(“the Agreement”) pursuant to which a private fund affiliated with
and managed by Golub concurrently purchased all of MCC’s interest
in the MCC JV and all of the Other MCC JV Member’s interest in the
MCC JV for a total purchase price of $156.4 million (subject to
various adjustments), on terms and conditions set forth in the
Agreement. In connection with the closing of the transaction, MCC
JV repaid in full all outstanding borrowings under, and terminated,
its senior secured revolving credit facility, dated as of August 4,
2015, as amended, administered by Deutsche Bank AG, New York
Branch. Taking into account the debt repayment and the adjustments,
MCC and the Other MCC JV Member received net proceeds (before
transaction expenses) of $41.0 million and $6.6 million,
respectively.
"We believe this is a significant transaction for MCC as it
improves MCC’s liquidity and materially strengthens its balance
sheet," said David Lorber, Chair of the MCC Special Committee. He
added, "The transaction better positions MCC to meet its other debt
repayment obligations."
The Special Committee was advised by Houlihan Lokey for this
Transaction.
