Soaring Pine Leads VESTA Modular Acquisition Of MSpace Holdings, LLC
BIRMINGHAM, Mich., Feb. 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Simon Group Holdings (SGH) today announced that its portfolio company VESTA Modular received court approval to acquire substantially all assets of MSpace Holdings, LLC for $15.3 million. This acquisition involves approximately 1,700 modular units and was the result of a successful stalking-horse asset purchase agreement and court-ordered auction. The transaction marks another success for SGH and its growing portfolio of companies.
"As with all of our portfolio companies, we backed VESTA because we believed in the management team and that has paid dividends here," said VESTA Chairman Sam Simon who also is the founder of Simon Group Holdings and its fund, Soaring Pine Capital, which financed VESTA's start-up. "This acquisition is a continuation of our confidence in the management team who increased VESTA's business nearly 10 times through this acquisition, which includes several knowledgeable MSpace employees," said Simon.
VESTA has experienced rapid growth during its first few years of operation, growing its fleet of modular units from nothing to nearly 2,000 units today. "Success as a business hinges on many factors you cannot control, which makes the few that you can influence so important," said Daniel McMurtrie, VESTA's CEO. "We selected a strong financial partner in Simon Group Holdings and were fortunate that Sam and our investors not only stood by us during our infancy, but also mentored and supported us all those times we faced headwinds," said McMurtrie.
Simon Group Holdings oversees a collection of businesses and funds, all founded by Sam Simon, with the intent of bringing together investors with unique backgrounds and entrepreneurs with passion and energy. This formula has proven successful with VESTA and the other SGH portfolio companies.
