OREANDA-NEWS. March 31, 2015. GE Capital’s Telecom, Media and Technology (TMT) financing business today announced that it served as administrative agent on a senior secured credit facility to support the acquisition of Unified OS Ltd. by Inventus Solutions, Inc., a Clearlake Capital Group portfolio company.

GE Capital Markets served as sole lead arranger and bookrunner on this facility. Founded in 1991 and headquartered in Chicago, Inventus provides technology-enabled electronic data discovery (EDD) and managed services for Fortune 1000 corporations, global law firms and government agencies to manage the legal discovery process.

The acquisition of Unified, a leading U.K.-based provider of EDD and managed attorney review, marks Inventus’s significant expansion in Europe and its focus on adding a leading managed review platform to its services bundle. The combination creates an international, full legal process outsourcing (LPO) solution with the ability to service target clients operating in multiple jurisdictions across the globe.

“We enjoy a beneficial financing relationship with the team at GE Capital, and in this instance, their experience in the technology sector provided added value. In addition, their ability to speak for the entire credit facility and underwrite and execute quickly made them an ideal financing partner for this transaction,” said Behdad Eghbali and Prashant Mehrotra, of Clearlake Capital.  “Inventus’s excellent position in the growing EDD market, plus Clearlake’s invaluable strategic partnership, will position the company for accelerated growth,” said Matthew Fleming, managing director with GE Capital’s TMT business. "We look forward to supporting management and Clearlake.”
