JERSEY CITY, NJ – Golden Pear Funding (Golden Pear), a national leader in pre-settlement legal funding, announced the upsizing to $67.2 million of its existing corporate notes. The incremental capital raise was assigned a BBB rating by a nationally recognized statistical ratings organization (NRSRO) and follows the Company’s successful corporate note issuance announced in January 2022. Proceeds from the upsize will be used to repay subordinated debt and support additional growth of the business.
Brean Capital, LLC served as the Company’s exclusive financial advisor and sole placement agent in connection with the transaction.
Since inception, Golden Pear has funded nearly $1.0 billion in aggregate to more than 70,000 clients nationwide.
