Challenge
Active sought a new lender for their senior working capital and growth needs as well as a provider who would understand the unique aspects of the Company’s business and its underlying collateral base.
Solution
Crystal underwrote a $35.0MM senior term loan that will allow Active to pursue their growth plans as they continue to acquire and invest in advertising media—their leading product offering.
“From our first meeting you and your team have been outstanding. You should be proud of the team of professionals you have assembled. Whether Steve, Chris, Kenny or yourself, each of you has always been responsive, supportive, practical and working towards a solution. While Active did have proposals from others, I do not believe any could support us the way Crystal has.” —Richard Vendig, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
