JACKSONVILLE, Fla., May 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Healogics®, the nation's leading provider of world-class wound care, today announced a new $240 million equity investment, positioning the Company to continue its growth as a leading patient centric wound care center operator.

As part of the transaction, a group of new and existing investors, led by Clayton Dubilier & Rice, Partners Group, on behalf of its clients, and Northwestern Mutual,  invested $75 million of common equity, and Marathon Asset Management invested over $165 million in new preferred stock.  As a financially stronger company, Healogics will be able to accelerate its investment in its leading patient centric wound care center business positioning it for continued long-term success.

Mr. Bassin continued, "Despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, Healogics maintained strong operations, keeping nearly every center open and continuing to deliver high-quality outcomes for patients. I am incredibly proud of the strength and resiliency of our team and the continued strength of our hospital partner relationships, particularly in a year where healthcare, including advanced wound care, has been a central priority. We expect to become an even stronger partner and caregiver to the patients and communities we serve well into the future with our highly experienced and passionate professional team reinforced by the backing of our new and existing investors."

The Company also secured a new $30 million Revolving Credit Facility and a new $370 million First Lien Term Loan, both led by J.P. Morgan's Strategic Situations.  The financing resulted in an extension of the Company's debt maturity schedule, with no significant maturities prior to 2025.
