GE Antares, a unit of GE Capital, said it served as administrative agent on a $142 million senior credit facility to support the acquisition of ThermaSys by Wellspring Capital Management. GE Capital Markets served as sole lead arranger and bookrunner on the transaction.

“Our previous work with GE enabled them to anticipate our needs and structure a deal which supports our short and long-term goals,” said John Morningstar, partner at Wellspring Capital Management. “We appreciate the team’s responsiveness and look forward to working together as we focus on the growth of the business.”

“GE’s long history with Wellspring Capital allowed us to provide a financing solution that was attractive to both the ThermaSys management team and Wellspring,” said Inoki Suarez, senior vice president of GE Antares. “We’re once again proud to support Wellspring and fund this strategic acquisition.”
