CRH Makes GUD on Knight Secured Loan
(firmenpresse) - MONTREAL, CANADA -- (Marketwired) -- 11/25/15 -- Knight Therapeutics Inc. (TSX: GUD) ("Knight"), a leading Canadian specialty pharmaceutical company, announced that later today it will successfully exit its investment in CRH Medical Corporation (TSX: CRH)(NYSE: CRHM) ("CRH") following early repayment of the remaining balance of US$22.0 million on its secured loan to CRH.
In December of 2014, Knight provided a secured loan of US$30.0 million to help CRH fund the transformative acquisition of Gastroenterology Anesthesia Associates, LLC and GAA Management, LCC. Since that time, CRH has experienced tremendous success, having raised $27.4 million of equity at $3.40 per share in March 2015, more than triple the share price from when Knight first extended the secured loan four months earlier. Part of those proceeds were used to retire US$7.9 million of CRH's secured debt to Knight.
"We are pleased to have financed the transformation of CRH into a leading anesthesia management company. This accomplishment has been personally gratifying and financially rewarding. We love supporting well-grounded management teams achieve their lofty dreams through partnership," said Jonathan Ross Goodman, President and CEO of Knight.
