Financing Event: Acquistion
PNC Deal Leader: Jason Zillwood
Headquartered on the South Coast, Paladone is a leading UK provider of gifting products, designing and distributing from its offices in the UK, Hong Kong and Los Angeles.
The company has a catalogue of over 800 products, encompassing own brand lines and licensed products with leading global brands such as Walt Disney, Warner Brothers, Star Wars and Nintendo.
Paladone needed fit-for-purpose finance that would support the acquisition by LDC and deliver the working capital headroom necessary for its trajectory. Working closely with Spectrum Corporate Finance, PNC delivered a senior secured facility to a tight timescale, comprising a revolving line of credit structured against working capital assets and a term loan.
Paladone is now fully equipped to continue its strong international growth, pursuing opportunities in the U.S., Australia, Asia and Europe, as well as continuing to invest in its online presence.
PNC were proactive and commercial throughout. They provided quick decision-making and a clear offer, delivering a facility at speed designed to fuel our continued international expansion.
