TM Capital Advises Mud Pie, LLC in Recapitalization

NEW YORK, May 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- TM Capital, a leading middle market investment banking firm with offices in New York, Boston and Atlanta, served as exclusive financial advisor to Mud Pie, a leading designer and marketer of branded gifts, decor, accessories and apparel, in its recapitalization with SunTrust Bank, Fifth Third Bank and Monroe Capital.  

As long-term advisor to Mud Pie, TM Capital first advised the Company in its 2010 transaction with Lineage Capital, which provided Mud Pie with an institutional partner to create liquidity and help accelerate the already impressive growth of the business.  Five years later, Mud Pie has now doubled in size, and TM Capital was tasked with facilitating an attractive exit for Lineage, while providing the Company with the strong financial footing necessary to continue its growth.  

TM assisted Mud Pie in evaluating a range of strategic alternatives—ultimately negotiating, arranging and structuring a debt recapitalization—to fund the acquisition of the Lineage stake at an attractive rate of return. The financing returns Mud Pie to 100% family ownership and provides the resources and financial flexibility necessary to continue the rapid growth of its branded market presence.  This transaction highlights TM's unmatched ability to help its clients create long-term value by architecting and structuring innovative financing solutions.
