MBO exit: Project Blackout 1.65x realised return
In 2019, Wealth Club investors participated in the confidential and undisclosed MBO of Project Blackout, a leading wholesaler of textiles. The funding was intended to help the founders expand the team and the company’s global customer base. Despite lockdown the Company performed well. Investors’ subscriptions comprised secured loan notes targeting a yield of 10% p.a. plus 30% equity interest. In August 2022 the business was successfully refinanced and Wealth Club investors received full repayment of the loan and interest, whilst the equity remained invested. Approximately three years later, the sale of the business was agreed. Total proceeds of the deal will give Wealth Club investors a 1.65x return net of all fees and 16% IRR.
