Livingstone Chicago\u2019s Debt Advisory team<\/a> have advised JD Norman Industries, Inc.<\/a> on a refinancing of the business backed by Bank of America<\/a> and Medley Capital Corporation<\/a>. The financing allows the Company to expand through the acquisition of two business units from vehicle technology group Federal-Mogul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JD Norman<\/a> is a diversified manufacturer of highly engineered metal components and systems with operations in the US, Mexico, Canada and the UK. The acquisitions expand the group\u2019s geographical footprint to include a connecting rod machining operation in Windsor, Canada and a camshaft casting foundry in Lydney, England, and further consolidates JD Norman\u2019s<\/a> position as a critical part supplier for automotive powertrains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGiven the multi-jurisdictional nature of the deal, together with the tight time frame we were operating under, it was imperative that we partnered with an advisor that had a track record of closing complex debt transactions. Livingstone was instrumental in helping us structure the transaction, while also aligning <\/strong>JD Norma<\/strong><\/a>n with financial partners which have the experience to support our future growth,\u201d<\/strong> commented Justin Norman, President and CEO of JD Norman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis transaction marks Livingstone\u2019s sixth Debt Advisory transaction in six months,\u201d <\/strong>commented Livingstone Chicago\u2019s debt expert Tom Lesch<\/a>. \u201cAs an international firm, these are the types of mid-market deals we are accustomed to closing. Our collective knowledge of the global debt markets and first-hand knowledge of foreign secured lending laws allowed us to run a competitive process for <\/strong>JD Norman<\/strong><\/a>.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Livingstone\u2019s Debt Advisory team have completed transactions including: iPrism, The FNA Group, Lakeshore Recycling Systems, ATI Physical Therapy, OAD Orthopaedics, Trio Video, Goose Island Beer Company and Genuine Scooters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":2991,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"client-type":[],"region":[],"sector":[],"service":[],"transaction-type":[],"class_list":["post-8444","transaction","type-transaction","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":{"team_members":[1195],"date":"20130722","client_type":40,"type":[1114],"region":[376],"services":[436],"sectors":[637],"related_transactions":"","related_testimonials":"","contacts":""},"yoast_head":"\nBank
