Private Placements
Sagent Advisors maintains a comprehensive network of potential financing
sources for debt and equity capital in the private market. We assist clients
in a wide variety of transactions including leveraged acquisitions
and recapitalizations, growth investments, shareholder liquidity events, and
refinancings. Each private placement is unique and Sagent customizes the
most appropriate capital structure solution for each client.
Debt Financing
We maintain extensive contact with the providers of both asset-based and
cash flow-based senior debt. These contacts include banks and finance companies
(revolving lines of credit, term loans, leasing and real estate lending),
hedge funds (B tranche and stretch loans), and insurance companies (longer-term
senior unsecured financing).
We have an active presence in mezzanine and subordinated debt financing,
including convertible securities and other securities with equity features.
We maintain a continuous dialogue with insurance companies, mezzanine funds,
private equity funds and pension funds.
Equity Financing
We raise equity capital for companies at every stage of development from
start-ups and early-stage ventures to later-stage growth and established
companies. We work with venture capital funds, private equity groups, hedge
funds, corporate investors, and pension funds to place common equity, convertible
and redeemable securities, options, and warrants.
We are also actively involved in advising public clients in Private Investment
in Public Equity ("PIPE") transactions in the form of common stock, preferred
