Cabot Square reaps 2x on Signature exit
Cabot Square Capital has made a 2x return on the sale of UK private care homes provider Signature Senior Lifestyle to management.
The deal was financed by a consortium of lenders, with US real estate investment trust HCN acting as senior lender.
In 2013, Signature made several appointments to its senior management team and invested £250m in 11 new care homes across London and the UK's home counties.
The news comes shortly after the GP announced it had reaped a 12x return on the £160m sale of Equitix to a Tetragon Financial Group subsidiary.
Company
Cabot Square founded Signature, a provider of care homes for elderly people, in 2006. The business is headquartered in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, and has a total of 16 sites either completed or in the construction phase.
