PRESS RELEASE
New York, NY, July 30, 2020 – Churchill Asset Management (“Churchill” or the “Firm”) today announced that it served as Joint Lead Arranger for a $115 million senior secured credit facility to support Syndigo LLC (“Syndigo” or the “Company”), a portfolio investment of The Jordan Company (“TJC”). The issuance provides Syndigo additional flexibility to continue expanding its reach and capabilities through M&A.
Headquartered in Chicago, IL, Syndigo is a leading provider of digital product information and content solutions in North America, providing retailers, brands and service providers a cloud-based platform, the Content Experience Hub (“CXH”), to enable commerce and optimize product data management to improve sales conversion.
“While Churchill has remained highly cautious and selective in our investment approach since the onset of COVID-19, we have been actively seeking new financing opportunities for resilient, sponsor-backed businesses,” said Randy Schwimmer, Senior Managing Director and Head of Origination & Capital Markets at Churchill. “Syndigo provides a strong value proposition for its diversified, blue-chip customer base with distinct competitive advantages and has a proven track record of growing and integrating add-on acquisitions. We are thrilled to partner with TJC to support the company’s growth.”
The financing represents the sixth transaction since 2015 that Churchill’s senior lending team has completed in support of TJC, a New York, NY-based middle market private equity firm with original capital commitments in excess of $11 billion and a strong 38-year track record.
“Churchill proved to be a terrific partner throughout the Syndigo transaction process, and their agility, dependability and balance sheet strength have been extremely valuable,” said Doug Zych, Partner at TJC. “We greatly value our partnership with Churchill and appreciate their support on this transaction.”
