NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Marathon Asset Management (“Marathon”), a leading global credit manager with more than $23 billion of assets under management, is pleased to announce the closing of a senior-secured credit facility to finance H.I.G. Capital’s (“H.I.G.”) acquisition of SkinCure Oncology Intermediate LLC (“SkinCure Oncology”).

SkinCure Oncology’s GentleCure™ Experience, IG-SRT is accessible through more than 500 physicians nationwide, with over 100,000 patients treated using this technology.

“SkinCure Oncology has a tremendous track record for delivering outcomes for both its physician partners and patients,” said Curtis Lueker, Marathon’s Head of Direct Lending. “The company is an established leader in the industry, and we are excited to partner with H.I.G. and their strong management team to execute on their strategic vision and expansion to provide increased options and access to care for patients with NMSC.”
