(IMDS) and acquisition financing for YP Holdings LLC (Yellow Pages). THL Credit invested in each transaction together with its managed fund, THL Credit Greenway Fund LLC.

RECAPITALIZATION OF MARTEX

THL Credit participated in the refinancing of Martex by Milestone Partners, providing subordinated debt capital as part of the acquisition. Based in Spartanburg, SC, with offices in Philadelphia, PA, Martex is a recycler of pre-consumer textile waste in the Americas. Martex sources textile waste primarily from large apparel manufacturing cut-and-sew operations. The company converts the waste into higher value remanufactured fibers as well as recycled yarn products. Martex has been producing sustainable and environmentally friendly products since the 1970s.

“By offering high-quality products and services, Martex has developed long-term relationships with its customers and suppliers while garnering a strong reputation in its industry,” said Sam Tillinghast, co-president of THL Credit. “Martex’s dedication to environmental integrity uniquely positions the company for future growth.”

RECAPITALIZATION OF IMDS

THL Credit participated in the refinancing of IMDS, a portfolio company of Arsenal Capital Partners, providing subordinated debt capital. Headquartered in Fort Worth, TX, IMDS is a provider of comprehensive outsourcing solutions for orthopedic and medical device companies, including the development of orthopedic implants and instruments.

“We are pleased to support Arsenal and the management team of IMDS as they continue to grow and execute on IMDS’ unique market strategy. As a one-stop partner to orthopedic OEMs, IMDS’ unparalleled co-innovation and manufacturing capabilities provide a clear competitive edge over its peers,” said Chris Flynn, managing director of THL Credit.
