Synopsis

Edit

Searchlight Capital Partners, a private investment firm that identifies and develops opportunities for its investors and partner companies, agreed to acquire a stake in KORE Group Holdings, a company that provides Internet of Things Solutions, for $150m. "I am delighted to announce a successful refinancing of our senior debt, which upon closing in the next couple of weeks, will reduce our overall debt level by approximately $120 million. Our improved balance sheet results in greater cash efficiency to service debt and extends our debt maturity by five years, giving the Company plenty of time to delever, especially in light of our Adjusted EBITDA growth prospects. We are particularly pleased by a significant reduction in required annual cash interest payments from approximately $42 million in 2023 to approximately $28 million in 2024. With this important refinancing behind us, we are singularly refocused on the tremendous opportunity ahead of us through the Decade of IoT. Our best-in-class eSIM-powered IoT connectivity value proposition represents an exciting opportunity for profitable growth," Romil Bahl, KORE President and CEO.
