Barings announced that it served as co-lead arranger of a second-lien credit facility to support global private equity firm Warburg Pincus in its acquisition of MSHC Inc. (Service Logic) from Sterling Investment Partners (Sterling).

Barings also participated in providing a senior-secured credit facility and a revolving credit facility to Service Logic. Barings previously provided subordinated debt and an equity co-investment to support Sterling’s investment in Service Logic in 2012.
