Saratoga Newsletter
Dear Friends,
We hope you are enjoying the summer months.
We'd like to update you on Saratoga's progress and help you
stay informed on what is going on in the middle market.
As Saratoga grows its investment portfolio, we continue to
strengthen our team. Earlier this year we welcomed Henri
Steenkamp as our CFO. Dave Vavrichek joined soon thereafter
as a Principal. We also recently added Nick Martino, Marissa
Mann, and Sandy Rodriguez to our investment team.
Saratoga has a strong base of permanent capital and plenty of
dry powder to invest. We remain focused on making debt and
equity investments in companies striving to do great things.
Over the past year we have invested about $100 million in 19
transactions to support acquisitions, refinancings,
recapitalizations, and growth initiatives.
The experience of our investment team allows us to provide
prompt feedback and reliable financial support to middle
market companies. Our goal remains to be a reliable partner
in helping you meet your objectives. Thank you for continuing
to think of us when your business requires capital.
