Enhances Ability to Support Clients Across the Lifecycle of Loan Transactions

DENVER & LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SRS Acquiom, (or “The Company”) which provides a comprehensive platform to help manage merger and acquisition transactions and bilateral and syndicated loan facilities, today announced that it has signed an agreement to acquire Pantarai, a leading provider of specialized loan solutions supporting broadly syndicated loans and private credit markets globally.

The addition of Pantarai will strengthen SRS Acquiom's loan service offerings by expanding beyond its Agency platform to trade closing and loan technology.

"We are looking forward to welcoming the Pantarai team to SRS Acquiom," said Renee Kuhl, Managing Director, Loan Agency, at SRS Acquiom. "Pantarai's expertise in loan closing and settlement is highly complementary to our existing Loan Agency offering and will expand our ability to support clients across the lifecycle of loan transactions. Their experienced team and specialized workflows complement SRS Acquiom's combination of expertise, service and technology, further enhancing the solutions we provide to clients across private credit and syndicated loan markets."

"Pantarai has built a strong reputation for deep industry knowledge and high-touch service across global credit markets," said Lon LeClair, President and Chief Operating Officer of SRS Acquiom. "This acquisition reflects our continued commitment to expanding the Loan platform and investing in the solutions our clients need as private credit and syndicated loan markets continue to evolve. We believe Pantarai is a strong strategic fit and an important addition as we continue building on the momentum of our business across this critical area.”

"SRS Acquiom has built a differentiated Loan Agency platform that combines deep expertise, customer service and technology to support complex transactions," said David Jesson, Chief Executive Officer of Pantarai. "The company's commitment to innovation and client service closely aligns with our own values of high expertise alongside a vision for technology-led growth, and we are excited to join SRS Acquiom as we continue helping clients navigate increasing complexity in broadly syndicated and private credit transactions."
