Entrex Featured at Thomson's Buyouts Chicago 2009 to Present Funding Alternatives to Leveraged Debt
Chicago, IL – June 16, 2009 Entrex founder and CEO, Stephen H. Watkins, is appearing today at Thomson’s Buyouts Chicago 2009 at the Fairmont Hotel. Watkins’ panel session, called “Debtless in Chicago: Beating the Leverage Slump,” brings together finance and private equity experts to analyze the current state of the leverage debt market and explore viable financing alternatives for current and future deals.
Having debuted an alternative security structure in 2008 that is gaining a great deal of traction in the industry, Entrex is in a unique position to offer buyouts deal players a financing option that is relevant in today’s economy and earning respect from an investor point of view. Entrex TIGRcubs™ are a revenue-based financing vehicle offering significant corporate financial solutions to both the company issuer and the investor.
Watkins explains how the instrument benefits the buyouts sector specifically; “It’s not news that leverage is difficult to come by these days. Buyout funds are struggling for ways to raise cash to complete deals. Because TIGRcubs™ are based on a percent of the issuing company’s top-line earnings, the tool offers more stable returns, at appropriate IRR, and are less likely to drive the acquisition company into a pre-mature negative cash flow position or bankruptcy.”
Entrex is also a Gold Sponsor of today’s Thomson event. “This particular show is ideal for us,” continues Watkins. “We’re able to connect with a strong group of deal financing professionals from the Chicagoland area, which is home base for Entrex. Philosophically speaking, Entrex’s mission is to support the flow of capital to companies in a more local and regional manner than we’ve seen from Wall St. firms. Today’s connections will inevitably be working throughout the Mid West, as well as nationally—a direction we’re pleased to support.”
