In connection with the closing of the transaction, MCC JV repaid in full all outstanding borrowings under, and terminated, its senior secured revolving credit facility, dated as of August 4, 2015, as amended, administered by Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch. Taking into account the debt repayment and the adjustments, MCC and the Other MCC JV Member received net proceeds (before transaction expenses) of $41.0 million and $6.6 million, respectively.

"We believe this is a significant transaction for MCC as it improves MCC’s liquidity and materially strengthens its balance sheet," said David Lorber, Chair of the MCC Special Committee. He added, "The transaction better positions MCC to meet its other debt repayment obligations."

The Special Committee was advised by Houlihan Lokey for this Transaction.
