Opportunity

After completing a series of acquisitions, the company wanted a more flexible capital structure as well as increased liquidity in order to take advantage of attractive promotional buying opportunites from their vendors. In partnership with the asset-based lending group of their long term banking partner, Crystal agented a $30.0 million first lien term loan. The term loan will provide the necessary capital for Spec’s to take advantage of promotional purchasing opportunities.
