Antares Capital served as administrative agent, lead arranger and sole bookrunner on a senior secured credit facility to support the platform investment in Integrity Marketing Group by HGGC and the concurrent acquisition of Premier Companies. LStar Capital provided junior debt to support the transaction.

“We were pleased to leverage our partnership with LStar Capital to meet the complete debt needs of HGGC,” said Mary Gaede, managing director with Antares Capital. “Premier is a strong, tech-enabled platform, and we look forward to working with the Premier management owners as they continue to grow the company and take advantage of new opportunities.”
