MVC Capital Completes $22.4 Million Follow-On Investment in Ohio Medical Corporation
PURCHASE, N.Y., June 13, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MVC Capital, Inc. (MVC), a publicly traded business development company that makes private debt and equity investments, announced today the completion of a follow-on investment of $22.4 million in Ohio Medical Corporation (“OMC” or “the company”), an existing portfolio company, in the form of convertible preferred stock.
This investment replaces equity financings in OMC that had deleveraged the company. The investment was made in accordance with a guarantee which MVC committed to when it was unable to make non-diversified investments. After this investment, MVC will no longer have an outstanding guarantee related to OMC and has completed its planned acquisition of the supported equity securities.
“We are pleased to satisfy our commitment from 2011 and continue to have confidence in the company’s impressive line of medical suction and oxygen therapy devices and medgas equipment,” said Michael Tokarz, Chairman & Portfolio Manager of MVC Capital, Inc. “After enduring a period of uncertainty in the sector they participate in, OMC is experiencing initial indications of increased customer demand and an improving sales backlog.”
