Capital Southwest Supports Centre Lane Partners’ Acquisition of Zenfolio

 

Dallas, Texas – September 27, 2017 – Capital Southwest Corporation (“Capital Southwest”; Nasdaq: CSWC) announced today that it supported the recent acquisition of Zenfolio Inc. (“Zenfolio”) by Centre Lane Partners (“Centre Lane”) with a first lien term loan and a revolving credit facility.  Capital Southwest serves as the sole administrative agent on the credit facility and made an equity co-investment in the transaction. Eagle Hill Advisors was a co-investor in the term loan.

 

"We are pleased to have the opportunity to partner with Centre Lane on the acquisition of Zenfolio" said Josh Weinstein, Managing Director of Capital Southwest.  “We think Zenfolio offers a unique solution to professional photographers and believe Centre Lane is the right partner for the company as it transitions to a standalone business from Art.com.”

 

Zenfolio, headquartered in Menlo Park, California, is a software platform for professional and amateur photographers to showcase, manage and monetize their work with a comprehensive feature set, including a suite of marketing tools that saves time, increases efficiency and allows them to focus on photography.
