Monroe Capital completed the successful optional redemption of 100% of the Notes for MC Funding 2006-1, a middle market CLO that closed on December 21, 2006.  The $409.5 million-middle market CLO, managed by Monroe Capital Management LLC, generated a 21.1% net cash on cash return on the $43.5 million equity tranche through March 21, 2016.  The CLO continues to own certain illiquid loans and equity securities and intends to liquidate these securities in an orderly manner with a view to maximizing the final return to the preferred shareholders.
