The HIG Capital credit affiliate has made its latest investment via a mezzanine loan in Germany.

HIG WhiteHorse, the credit arm of HIG Capital, has provided a mezzanine debt facility to German software provider STP to finance its expansion, the firm said in a statement. 

The deal is based around a mezzanine facility, with no amortisation payments until maturity. The facility is to be repaid via cash and payment-in-kind interest.
HIG WhiteHorse said the deal was structured “to provide the company with the required flexibility as it continues to strengthen its strong existing market position and expand into adjacent product areas”.
