Oak Hill Advisors (“OHA”) served as Administrative Agent and Lead Left Arranger for the private senior debt financing supporting the acquisition of Tyber Medical, LLC by Montagu Private Equity (“Montagu”). Tyber Medical is a leading orthopedic device manufacturer serving the spine and trauma end markets.
As part of the transaction, Montagu will merge Tyber Medical with two of its existing portfolio companies, Resolve Surgical Technologies (“Resolve”) and Intech Medical (“Intech”), to create a scaled contract development and manufacturing organization (“CDMO”) offering end-to-end services that span product conceptualization, development, manufacturing and regulatory approval for advanced surgical systems. OHA is one of the largest holders across the new first lien facility.
OHA’s comprehensive understanding of CDMOs, having invested in several leading private and public companies within the market, positioned it to diligence the financing opportunity with speed and certainty.
“We are pleased to partner with Montagu as a leading investment firm with a proven track record of investing across the healthcare ecosystem and driving growth within its portfolio companies,” said Eric Muller, Partner and Portfolio Manager at OHA. “Our deep history of investing in CDMOs allowed us to quickly gain conviction in each of Tyber Medical, Resolve and Intech, and we look forward to supporting the accelerated advancements within orthopedics that we believe will be driven by the scale and domain expertise of the combined business.”
“We are delighted to establish this new debt financing and to partner with our lender group, led by OHA,” said Henry Johnson, Partner and Head of Capital Markets at Montagu. “The transaction will support the business’s strategic initiatives and represents another successful capital markets execution in the U.S. for Montagu.”
Rothschild & Co served as financial advisor to Montagu for the debt financing transaction.
BMO Capital Markets also participated in this financing as OHA’s private credit joint venture partner.
