MidCap Financial Further Capitalized With New $250 Million Credit Facility Led by Wells Fargo Capital Finance

BETHESDA, Md., July 7 /PRNewswire/ -- MIDCAP FINANCIAL, LLC, a leading commercial finance company focused exclusively on middle market healthcare, announced today that one of its financing subsidiaries has closed a $250 million credit facility from a bank group led by Wells Fargo Capital Finance, part of Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE: WFC), with commitments from SunTrust Bank, Goldman Sachs Bank USA, and Key Equipment Finance.  The facility is the extension and expansion of the existing facility that MidCap had in place with Wells Fargo, has a three year tenor, and provides financing against MidCap's senior secured loans to healthcare companies.  The facility is structured to be upsized as MidCap grows.

"We are pleased to be able to close this substantially expanded facility.  Wells Fargo has been a great partner since the inception of our business in 2008, and their work in syndicating this facility is another example of that partnership.  The participation of SunTrust, Goldman Sachs, and Key Bank is gratifying, especially in light of today's credit environment," commented MidCap's CFO, David Moore.

"The management team at MidCap has an excellent reputation in the financial services industry, and we are very pleased to extend our partnership with them," said Andrea Petro, head of the Lender Finance division of Wells Fargo Capital Finance. "They have established a great business, and with our expertise in lending to finance companies, we hope to help them continue to grow. We are looking forward to a long and successful relationship with MidCap."

"This is an exciting development for MidCap, giving us substantially more dry powder to serve our clients in the middle market healthcare space," stated Howard Widra, MidCap's CEO.  "Together with our credit facilities from Silicon Valley Bank and The PrivateBank and Trust Company, our SBIC subsidiary, which is pending SBA approval, other credit relationships in various stages of closing, and our substantial equity commitment, MidCap has over $1 billion to put to work in our target markets.  We are pleased to have this type of capacity to serve our clients in a capital starved market."
