Xcel Brands entered into a refinancing of its existing credit facility. The refinancing provides an initial $25 million term loan under a facility jointly provided by BHI and First Eagle Alternative Credit, and up to an additional $25 million for acquisitions, subject to lender approval; and separately, through First Eagle Alternative Credit, LLC an additional $50 million acquisition facility subject to lender approval.

“I am delighted to further our relationship with BHI and welcome First Eagle into our capital structure.
