DENVER, Sept. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Bow River Capital, a Denver-based alternative asset manager, is pleased to announce that its Private Credit Team has provided funds to support the recapitalization of Veridian Healthcare ("Veridian" or the "Company") by HealthEdge Investment Partners, LLC ("HealthEdge"), United Western Group ("UWG"), and Advantage Capital Holdings, LLC ("A-CAP"). Veridian has distinguished itself as a preeminent distributor of private label and branded in-home diagnostic, pain care management, and personal care products for leading national and regional chain stores, pharmacies, wholesalers, distributors and e-commerce businesses.

Eli Muraidekh, Head of the Private Credit Team, commented: "We are delighted to add Veridian as our second platform investment and are excited to be partnering with the Veridian management team, HealthEdge, UWG, and A-CAP to support the next phase of the company's growth."

Aaron Arnett, Managing Director, added, "Veridian is highly regarded for its ability to consistently deliver an expansive healthcare products portfolio with value-add procurement solutions at scale. We believe strong market tailwinds and the company's expansion into attractive in-home patient monitoring areas represent an extraordinary growth opportunity for the business."

In June 2023, Bow River Capital announced the formation of its Private Credit Team, including private credit experts Eli Muraidekh, Aaron Arnett and Joshua Apfel. The Firm has also assembled a world-class Private Credit Investment Committee, which, in addition to Mr. Muraidekh and Mr. Arnett, is comprised of Richard Thackray, President of Bow River, Jeremy Held, Head of Bow River's Evergreen Strategies, and non-voting Adviser, Jonathan DeSimone.
