NEW YORK, June 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- KPS Capital Partners, LP ("KPS") announced today that its portfolio company, Attends Healthcare, Inc. ("Attends" or the "Company"), completed its second successful recapitalization in the past fourteen months. The proceeds of the $133 million recapitalization – funded by a combination of upsizing the Company's term loan, cash on hand and the Company's asset based revolving credit facility – were used to refinance outstanding debt, to fund a $35 million cash distribution to stockholders and to fund the Company's continued growth.

Following the recapitalization, Attends remains conservatively capitalized with the continued support of KPS, its majority shareholder, a private equity firm with over $2.9 billion of assets under management. KPS and Attends management continue to own 100% of Attends' common stock following the recapitalization.

Attends completed a $98 million recapitalization on March 31, 2010. The proceeds of the recapitalization were used to refinance outstanding debt, to fund a $60 million cash distribution to stockholders and to fund the Company's continued growth. The combined proceeds of the two recapitalizations, as well as other financings and the Company's strong cash flow, resulted in approximately $120 million in cash distributions to stockholders since the Company's formation in 2007.

The asset-based revolving credit facility was provided by Wells Fargo Commercial Banking, and the term loan financing was provided by Regiment Capital Special Situations Fund V, LP and Wells Fargo Commercial Banking. Lincoln International acted as exclusive financial advisor to the Company and KPS and helped to negotiate and structure the financing. K&L Gates LLP served as legal counsel to Attends with respect to the recapitalization.
