TORONTO, Ontario (September 28, 2016) – Penfund, an independent provider of junior capital to middle market companies located in the United States and Canada, announced today the completion of an incremental U.S. $9.0 million 2nd lien term facility in Pediatric Services Holding Corporation operating as PSA Healthcare (“PSA”). PSA is a portfolio company of J.H. Whitney Capital Partners LLC’s private equity funds (“J.H. Whitney”).
Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, PSA is a national leader in providing home care for children and adults with medical complexities.
The proceeds of the incremental financing were used in support of PSA’s acquisition of Professional Pediatric Home Care, a provider of pediatric skilled home nursing and therapy services in Colorado and Texas. With this acquisition, PSA now provides care through over 70 locations across 16 states, employs over 8,000 clinicians and caregivers and serves 7,000 patients and families each week. Following completion of this transaction, Penfund’s investment in PSA Healthcare totals U.S. $53.5 million, comprised of a second lien term facility and an equity co-investment.
Nicole Fich, a Vice President at Penfund, stated, “We are delighted to provide additional support to PSA and J.H. Whitney as PSA continues to execute its growth strategy. We believe the acquisition of Professional Pediatric Home Care will bolster PSA’s presence in Colorado and Texas and present opportunities for operational synergies.”
