Ares Capital Corporation to Partner with GE Capital in Senior Secured Loan Fund LLC

2009-11-04 19:07 ET - News Release


NEW YORK -- (Business Wire)

Ares Capital Corporation (NASDAQ: ARCC) announced last Friday the closing of its acquisition of Allied Capital’s interests in the Senior Secured Loan Fund LLC (formerly known as the Unitranche Fund) for $165 million in cash.

The Fund was formed in December 2007, with approximately $3.6 billion of committed capital to invest in senior secured debt (including unitranche loans) of middle-market companies through a partnership with GE Capital Americas. Currently, the Fund holds loans to middle market borrowers totaling approximately $900 million.

As a result of this transaction, Ares Capital and GE Capital will be able to make new commitments of up to $270 million in a single transaction for borrowers across a wide range of industry sectors to fund new transactions with the remaining $2.7 billion of capital available. The Fund expects to continue to retain all or a majority of each loan.

The remainder is available to Stockwatch subscribers.
