WebBank joined Synovus Bank, Specialty Finance Division to provide additional commitment in an asset-based revolving credit facility to AB Private Credit Investors Corporation, a subsidiary of AllianceBernstein, which is one of the world’s largest investment management and research firms with approximately $724 billion in assets under management.
 
WebBank is a national issuer of consumer and small business credit products through its Strategic Partner platforms, including retailers, manufacturers, and FinTech companies, and provides asset-based lending and other credit facilities to Strategic Partners, credit funds, and other lenders with a focus on specialty finance assets.
 
AB Private Credit Investors Corporation will use borrowings from the $150MM asset-based revolving credit facility to invest in primary-issue middle-market credit opportunities that are directly sourced and privately negotiated.
 
The asset-based revolving credit facility commitment was upsized by $50MM from $100MM to $150MM. Synovus, as existing lender, increased its commitment by $20MM from $100MM to $120MM. WebBank, joining as an additional lender, provided a commitment of $30MM.

“On behalf of AB Private Credit Investors and AllianceBernstein, we are appreciative of WebBank’s support of our business, and we look forward to continuing to build this relationship in the future,” said Wes Raper, Chief Operating Officer of AB Private Credit Investors.  “Additionally, we are honored by the opportunity to expand our relationship with Synovus through this asset-based revolving credit facility.”

“We are proud to collaborate with WebBank, as our Structured Finance team continues to expand its offering of best-in-class consultative solutions to specialized lending platforms and the asset management community,” said Jonathan Rosen, CEO of the Specialty Finance Division of Synovus Bank.

“We are excited to further expand our footprint in providing leverage to credit funds through asset-based lending facilities and appreciate the opportunity to participate in this financing transaction in partnership with Synovus,” said Jason Lloyd, President of WebBank.  “The financing underscores WebBank’s confidence in AB Private Credit Investors Corporation’s experience and ability to source, underwrite, structure and service private credit loans to middle market companies. It has been a pleasure to work closely with Synovus Bank’s Specialty Finance team on this transaction.”
