Dechert Advises TCW Asset Management on New Credit Facility with Midcap Financial Trust for Regis' Debt Refinancing

Dechert advised TCW Asset Management Company LLC ("TCW"), a leading global asset manager, on its entry into a new senior secured credit facility with Regis Corporation ("Regis"), a leader in the haircare industry, and Midcap Financial Trust ("Midcap"), a privately held leading middle-market specialty finance firm that provides debt solutions to companies.

This strategic refinancing marks a significant milestone for Regis, paving the way for sustainable long-term growth and value creation. A US$105 million term loan replaces Regis's existing debt, reducing outstanding indebtedness by more than US$80 million and saving approximately US$7 million in cash interest annually. Additionally, Regis will have access to a US$25 million revolving credit facility.

The Dechert team advising TCW included corporate partners Eliot Relles and Stephanie Haas, as well as associates Casey Klein, Frank Pecorelli, James Audet and VerĂ³nica Casellas Santana; tax partner David Passey and associate Ishani Kundu-Sahni.
