Alacrity Solutions has kickstarted restructuring talks with lenders following liquidity issues and customer churn, according to 9fin sources.
The insurance claims management service has engaged Evercore, Centerview and AlixPartners, sources said, while some lenders have organized with FTI.
The company currently has roughly $1.6bn in debt, around $1bn of which is in a first lien loan. The company’s first lien debt, revolver and senior secured delayed draw term loan are priced at SOFR+525bps due between 2027 and 2028, per filings.
Existing lenders to the company include Blue Owl, KKR and Antares. According to 9fin’s BDC database, both Blue Owl and KKR’s BDCs had marked their positions in the company roughly at par as of the second quarter.
In early 2023, the company announced it had secured a majority investments from BlackRock Alternatives, while existing investor Kohlberg retained a minority stake.
Kohlberg, BlackRock, FTI, Antares and KKR declined to comment. Alacrity, Evercore, Centerview, AlixPartners, and Blue Owl did not respond to requests for comment.
