New York, New York, June 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oak Hill Advisors (“OHA”) served as Administrative Agent and Lead Left Arranger for a private unitranche facility to support a recapitalization of MedVet. MedVet is a founder and veterinarian owned platform that operates a leading network of specialty and emergency veterinary hospitals across the U.S. OHA was the sole lender of the private unitranche facility, consisting of a term loan and delayed draw term loan.

OHA’s reputation and experience investing in the veterinary care space for nearly a decade positioned it to source and diligence this opportunity. OHA made its first investment in a veterinary services platform in 2014 and currently has over $1 billion invested in animal health and pet care businesses, ranging from private unitranche to junior capital financings. This non-sponsored transaction also demonstrates OHA’s expertise working directly with management teams and their advisors to deliver tailored solutions.

“OHA is a true partner in this important transaction for our organization,” said MedVet CFO Dain Bussewitz, “OHA’s knowledge of our profession, ability to commit to the entire unitranche facility and structuring insight enabled streamlined execution of our refinancing while providing capacity to support the next phase of our growth.”
