SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Seacoast Capital ("Seacoast"), a lower middle market non-control growth capital investor, and Galaxi Group ("Galaxi"), a family office focused on lower middle market businesses, announced their joint $9.6 million subordinated debt and redeemable preferred stock investment in support of the strategic alliance between CityLeaf and Medallion Landscape.

Added John Gates, CEO of Medallion, "Seacoast has been a pleasure to work with during a transaction that was far from plain vanilla. We are excited about our future and know we can rely on Seacoast to support us in our ongoing growth initiatives."

Jeff Holland, a Partner at Seacoast Capital said "This combination of two individually strong businesses into one strategic powerhouse in the landscaping space was attractive to us from day one. That, combined with the highly experienced management team and the decreased seasonality in the joint landscaping operations reinforced our investment thesis. We look forward to a long and prosperous relationship with both CityLeaf and Medallion."

Added Patrick Gengoux, a Vice President at Seacoast Capital, "Every participant in this transaction not only were high quality, experienced professionals, but also singularly focused on the going forward opportunities available to this strategic alliance.
