Sydney, November 28, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Gordon Brothers, the global advisory, restructuring and investment firm, and JP Morgan have agreed to provide Myer with a four-year A $ 215 million loan facility to refinance its credit facilities, support strategic initiatives and provide day-to-day liquidity.
“We are delighted to provide this iconic retailer with an asset-based facility,” said Tim Stewart, Australia Manager at Gordon Brothers. “This unique loan structure increases flexibility allowing the implementation of growth strategies without undue restrictions.”
“The partnership with Gordon Brothers and JP Morgan has allowed us to leverage liquidity to invest in growth opportunities and maximize our financial flexibility in the most efficient way for shareholders,” said Nigel Chadwick, CFO of Myer. “We could not have achieved this result without the in-house expertise and holistic services of Gordon Brothers in conjunction with our financial partners.
In addition to arranging the funding, Gordon Brothers provided the asset valuations. Going forward, the company will serve as a union approved appraiser and joint collateral monitoring agent in partnership with JP Morgan.
Gordon Brothers provides short and long term capital to clients undergoing a transformation beyond traditional asset lending.
Gordon Brothers works closely with and behind leading secured lenders to supplement their financing. The company underwrites structures with capital behind its valuations, and each capital solution is designed on an operation-specific basis taking into account the needs of borrowers and in support of their goals.
