Hatteras Yachts has recapitalized with Banc of California
Lincoln International (“Lincoln”), a leading global mid-market investment bank, is pleased to announce the successful completion of a financing for Hatteras Yachts, LLC (“Hatteras” or the “Company”), a portfolio company of Versa Capital Management, LLC (“Versa”). For over 50 years, Hatteras has been a leading manufacturer and distributor of highly customizable luxury motor yachts and sportfishing convertibles. Lincoln acted as the exclusive financial advisor to Versa and Hatteras and privately placed an asset-based revolving credit facility and real estate term loan, both provided by Banc of California. Proceeds from the transaction were used to refinance existing indebtedness, support Hatteras’ strategic growth plans and fund the Company’s ongoing working capital requirements.
As Hatteras’ financial advisor, Lincoln worked closely with Versa and the Hatteras management team to structure, arrange and negotiate the financing. Gregory L. Segall, CEO of Versa, commented, “We are very pleased with the outcome of Lincoln’s process. The Lincoln team brought access to a deep network of lender relationships, extensive debt market expertise and helped to explore a variety of structural options. Lincoln’s process enabled Hatteras to obtain an attractive financing package that will provide the Company with the flexibility to continue executing on its growth trajectory.”
