MV Credit Takes Lead In Senior Secured Debt Refinancing Of a Business Process Outsourcing Servicing Group
MSX International handles services for automotive dealers including processing requests and communication for warranties, services, and spare parts. As an outsourced provider, the company generates predictable revenues.
Malek Ghali, Managing Director in the Direct Lending Team at MV Credit, said: “We supported Bain Capital with its original acquisition of MSX International in 2016. We therefore know MSX well and were able to co-lead the structuring of a tailor-made senior secured financing. It is an attractive opportunity because of the stable industry subsegment with adequate leverage and strong cashflow generation to sustain the financing.”
Bain Capital, the sponsor, was founded in 1984 and is one of the world’s leading private investment firms with around $160 billion of assets under management. MV Credit has developed a strong relationship with Bain Capital over the years and has supported several of their successful investments.
ESG is an important aspect of the investment process at MV Credit, which was reflected in the terms of the transaction, so MV Credit is pleased to see MSX International reporting on its ESG performance on a regular basis.
