Credit Investments in action

Investing across the capital structure

Company: LYTX 

Headquarters: United States 

Investment type: Debt and Equity financing 

Date: 2020 

 

PSP provided debt and equity financing in support of Permira’s acquisition of Lytx, a market leader in the video fleet management and fleet solution space. This investment represents the fourth time that PSP has invested in the company. Since August 2017, under the previous ownership, Credit Investments participated in two debt financings and PSP also participated in a preferred equity financing. These transactions highlight the value of following businesses that we know and like, leveraging solid private equity relationships, and having the flexibility to invest across the capital structure. 

Executing on new capabilities

Company:  The NORDAM Group

Headquarters:  United States

Investment type: Exit debt financing

Date: 2019

 

We were the anchor investor in the debt financing which, along with a minority equity investment from the Carlyle Group, funded the emergence from bankruptcy of The NORDAM Group. The NORDAM Group is a leading global aerospace manufacturer, and these financings enabled the founding family to retain majority ownership. This transaction highlights Credit Investments’ newest capability: debt financing in complex restructuring situations.
