Evolve IP has secured a $27.5 million senior secured loan facility with CapitalSource, one of the leading commercial lenders for mid-sized businesses, as the administrative agent and lead arranger. DH Capital, LLC served as exclusive financial advisor to Evolve IP in connection with the transaction and Cozen O'Connor served as Evolve IP's counsel.

The proceeds of the loan will be used to refinance senior term debt and preferred equity and to provide capacity to fund future acquisitions and working capital for general corporate purposes. The $27.5 million loan facility provided by CapitalSource includes a $20.0 million term loan and a $7.5 million revolver.

One of the nation's fastest growing cloud service companies, Evolve IP provides organizations with a unified option for cloud services with its Evolve IP OneCloud solution.

“Evolve IP is led by a team of highly experienced technology executives that have worked together for over 20 years,” continued Golding. “With its solid value-added technology product offering and strong management team, the company is well positioned for future growth. We are pleased to provide this loan facility and play a role in their continued success.”

 “We selected CapitalSource as our finance partner due to their depth of knowledge in the industry and reputation for reliability and dependability,” said Thomas J. Gravina, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and Co-Founder. “We truly appreciate the support from the CapitalSource team and the ease of execution they offered throughout the process.”
