Jefferies offers a full suite of debt products for middle market corporations and sponsors. Our Leveraged Finance professionals have guided hundreds of companies through the debt capital markets, and we have developed a deep knowledge of all levels of the capital structure and a reputation for executing complex transactions. We are known for our creative approach, superior execution, substantial capital base and integrated one-firm solutions. Jefferies focuses on structuring and distributing public and private debt in leveraged finance transactions, including LBOs, acquisitions, growth capital, financings, recapitalizations, dividends, and chapter 11 exit financings.
We specialize in high yield capital markets, fixed- and floating-rate senior debt, syndicated and "club" bank loans, revolving credit facilities, 2nd lien debt, mezzanine debt, bridge financing and debt with an equity participation. Our strength is our ability to distribute product to hundreds of sources of capital through our dedicated high yield sales team and our Private Placements Group. For example, Jefferies has maintained leadership in the high yield capital markets as the top underwriter of U.S. Single B new issues under $150 million for the past four years 1. In addition, we have recently expanded our ability to commit capital for transactions that typically range (but are not limited to) between $50 million and $250 million through our lending vehicle, Jefferies Finance.
