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.
