Capital One served as sole lead arranger, sole bookrunner and administrative agent for a five-year, $200 million senior credit facility to VerticalScope.

The facility consisted of a $110 million term loan, a $70 million delayed-draw term loan and a $20 million revolving line of credit. VerticalScope will use the facility to refinance existing debt and support future acquisitions.

Established in 1999, VerticalScope is an integrated multi-platform media company that specializes in the acquisition and development of enthusiast websites and online communities.

“Our team worked closely with the company’s leadership to understand their acquisition strategy and long-term growth plans,” said Michael Rhea, managing director for Capital One’s Technology, Media and Telecommunications (TMT) group.

Capital One’s TMT business provides financing for corporate growth, mergers and acquisitions, balance sheet refinancings and recapitalizations to companies across the TMT sectors.
