- Repeat Client: This is Brookwood's second transaction for TNR. Brookwood successfully raised $10 million of growth equity for TNR on attractive terms in December 2005.
- Immediate Need for Capital: In July 2006, TNR secured the contract to deploy its DVD rental kiosks in Kroger grocery stores nationwide. TNR challenged Brookwood to run a fast-paced process to secure over $25 million required to support the rapid deployment timeline.
- Thorough, Effective Process: Brookwood quickly revamped TNR's prior equity-oriented materials into a debt-focused document emphasizing: (i) the compelling unit economics, track record and underlying cash flows; (ii) TNR's leading market position, management strength and infrastructure; and (iii) the sustainability of the DVD rental industry. Brookwood tapped its extensive network of traditional senior debt, mezzanine and private equity sources, plus emerging hedge fund and one-stop capital providers.
- Excellent Results: The expedited process generated numerous interested investors. Ultimately, strong capital-provider interest allowed TNR to close on a larger $35 million debt facility and an attractively priced $10 million equity round. In addition, TNR adds a new financing partner in MCG that offers substantial resources to support future growth.
