Corsair's NoteMachine secures £76.5m refinancing
GE Capital and Ares Management have arranged unitranche facilities worth ТЃ76.5m for the refinancing of Corsair Capital-backed NoteMachine.
The fresh capital will be used to refinance existing debt obligations with additional funding available for financing add-on acquisitions.
It is understood that NoteMachine's leverage levels now stand at between 3-4x EBITDA.
The loan came via GE Capital and Ares Management's European Senior Secured Loan Programme (ESSLP), a €1.75bn joint venture supplying unitranche facilities to mid-market companies.
Previous funding
Corsair Capital acquired NoteMachine in a secondary buyout from Rutland Partners in August 2012.
This latest transaction marks NoteMachine's second refinancing since being private equity-backed. When still owned by Rutland, the company completed a £63m refinancing, with a senior debt package provided by GE Capital, Barclays and European Capital.
Company
Established in 2006, NoteMachine owns and operates around 7,200 automated teller machines (ATM) in the UK and a further 500 in Germany. The ATMs are predominantly located in supermarkets, high street retailers and convenience stores.
The company was founded in 2006 by Peter McNamara.
