NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - Mar 22, 2013) - Prospect Capital Corporation (
The H.I.G. portfolio company is a leading provider of third-party logistics (3PL) services. The $200 million financing provided by Prospect marks the third consecutive time in the last two years that Prospect has supported H.I.G.'s efforts, positioning the company for continued growth and long-term success.
"Prospect is a constructive and reliable financing relationship," said Jeff Zanarini, a Managing Director of H.I.G. "Prospect provided a compelling alternative to the syndicated capital markets and allowed us to consummate an attractive refinancing on a highly expedited basis."
