McGuireWoods advised private equity firm Seven Hills Capital in its recapitalization of Reliable Medical Supply, a Minnesota-based provider of rehabilitation technology, clinical respiratory products and durable medical equipment and supplies.
Seven Hills partnered with ORIX Mezzanine and Private Equity to provide equity financing. Wintrust provided senior debt financing and Northcreek Mezzanine and Harbert Credit Solutions contributed mezzanine debt along with an equity co-investment. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Lawyers from McGuireWoods’ M&A, private equity, healthcare, debt finance and tax practices assisted Seven Hills in closing the deal. Chicago partner Geoff Cockrell and senior counsel Greg Hawver led the core deal team, which included associate Alyssa Campbell. Partners Gretchen Heinze Townshend, Clayton Stallbaumer and associate Trey Andrews in Chicago and partner Gerald Thomas in Atlanta also assisted in the transaction.
“We were proud to represent Seven Hills in this significant investment and showcase McGuireWoods’ capabilities in healthcare private equity transactions,” said Cockrell, who leads the firm’s private equity team.
