Deloitte Corporate Finance LLC Advises AXPM Dental Management, LLC on its Capital Raise with Goldman Sachs Specialty Lending Group L.P.

CHARLOTTE, N.C., July 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Deloitte Corporate Finance LLC acted as exclusive financial advisor to Arkansas-based AXPM Dental Management, LLC d/b/a Rock Dental Brands (Rock Dental), on its recent debt financing with Goldman Sachs Specialty Lending Group, L.P. (GSSLG). Rock Dental, a leading multi-specialty dental service organization, engaged Deloitte Corporate Finance to obtain financing for a series of strategic acquisitions and to refinance an incumbent lender. 

After its recent acquisitions, Rock Dental now operates 69 practices in Arkansas and Missouri. The financing provided by GSSLG allowed Rock Dental to refinance an existing credit facility, close the aforementioned acquisitions and continue to execute on its strategic growth initiatives.

"As we continue with our acquisition strategy, Deloitte Corporate Finance has played an integral role in helping evaluate capital structure and financing options," said Merritt Dake, CEO of AXPM Dental Management, LLC. "DCF provided invaluable insight regarding this type of transaction in the dental space and the appetite of capital markets, as well as thoughtful guidance throughout the entire process."

John Deering, managing director, Deloitte Corporate Finance LLC, said, "Rock Dental's reputation for providing high quality patient care, as well as its impressive track record of growth led to an excellent match with GSSLG, which has extensive experience in the health care sector."

Tom Spivey, managing director, Deloitte Corporate Finance LLC, added, "Goldman Sachs' debt facility will allow Rock Dental to further solidify its position as a leading dental service organization."
