(\u201cFNA\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d) by Bank of America. The refinancing approximately doubles FNA\u2019s borrowing capacity and provides the Company with the capital it needs to not only execute its core business plan but also aggressively evaluate product line expansion and other strategic growth opportunities.\tLivingstone acted as the exclusive financial advisor to FNA. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.<br \/>\nHeadquartered in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, FNA is North America\u2019s leading manufacturer of pressure washers, pumps, hoses, and replacement parts to leading retailers throughout the United States. The Company\u2019s portfolio of owned and licensed brands include DEWALT\u00ae, BLACK &#038; DECKER\u00ae, SIMPSON\u00ae, DELCO\u00ae, POWERWASHER\u00ae, TASKMASTER\u00ae and MONSTER HOSE.<br \/>\n\u201cWe are thrilled with the opportunity to forge a partnership with Bank of America \u2013 a group that clearly articulated their understanding of our business from day one. With Bank of America\u2019s financial wherewithal and the Company\u2019s growth plan and vision, we look forward to a very long and prosperous relationship,\u201d said Gus Alexander, Founder, CEO and President of FNA. \u201cThe refinancing process could not have gone smoother. The Livingstone team outlined a game plan at the onset of our process and executed the plan with precision.\u201d<br \/>\nLivingstone Managing Director Joseph Greenwood added, \u201cWorking with a family-owned business like FNA it was imperative that we balanced not only the immediate needs of the Company but also the right long-term fit. Livingstone has been a trusted advisor to FNA for several years and we look forward to working with them as they accelerate into the next phase of their plan.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cFNA follows on the heels of similar Livingstone capital raising transactions, with six completions in the last 12 months. Our ability to access the debt markets for our clients has resulted in several successful closings where the terms and structure have surpassed our client\u2019s expectations,\u201d commented Livingstone Debt Capital Markets Director Tom Lesch.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pehub.com\/201055\/bank-america-refinances-the-fna-group\/\">Bank of America Refinances The FNA Group<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pehub.com\/\">peHUB<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/pehub\/news\/all?a=lywO6u7OH1U:l-_BNx0RfD8:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/pehub\/news\/all?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/pehub\/news\/all?a=lywO6u7OH1U:l-_BNx0RfD8:dnMXMwOfBR0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/pehub\/news\/all?d=dnMXMwOfBR0\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/pehub\/news\/all?a=lywO6u7OH1U:l-_BNx0RfD8:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/pehub\/news\/all?i=lywO6u7OH1U:l-_BNx0RfD8:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/pehub\/news\/all?a=lywO6u7OH1U:l-_BNx0RfD8:7Q72WNTAKBA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/pehub\/news\/all?d=7Q72WNTAKBA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/pehub\/news\/all?a=lywO6u7OH1U:l-_BNx0RfD8:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/pehub\/news\/all?i=lywO6u7OH1U:l-_BNx0RfD8:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/pehub\/news\/all?a=lywO6u7OH1U:l-_BNx0RfD8:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/pehub\/news\/all?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/pehub\/news\/all?a=lywO6u7OH1U:l-_BNx0RfD8:l6gmwiTKsz0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/pehub\/news\/all?d=l6gmwiTKsz0\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/pehub\/news\/all\/~4\/lywO6u7OH1U\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bank of America has refinanced The FNA Group.
