Antares served as a lead arranger and is acting as administrative agent for a senior secured credit facility to support the acquisition of W2O by New Mountain.
CPPIB Credit Investments, a wholly owned subsidiary of Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, was also a key financing provider that helped facilitate a seamless transaction.
“We appreciate the efficiency and experience of the Antares team,” said Laura Holson, managing director and head of capital markets for New Mountain. “Their incumbency and familiarity with W2O and the management team coupled with their support of W2O’s ongoing growth strategy made them an ideal choice to lead this financing.”
Founded in 2001, W2O is an independent provider of analytics-driven, digital-first marketing services and communications to the healthcare sector. W2O applies proprietary analytics models, methodologies and approaches in a digital world to design precise communications and marketing strategies to deliver sustained business results. W2O maintains 15 offices across the U.S. and in Europe.
