In February 2025 Prudential Investment Management Services, LLC worked as the arranger of a Senior USPP and Senior Subordinated Notes provided in a recapitalization transaction alongside a separate revolving credit facility and term loan provided by a group of banks. PGIM served as the lead investor on the $320 million private placement, investing $100 million alongside several other insurance company investors. PGIM Capital Partners anchored the $135 million subordinated debt with a $75 million investment alongside Morgan Stanley Private Credit and another co-investor.​​

Interceramic ultimately chose to work with PGIM due to (i) the ability to arrange and execute a large deal with senior and subordinated debt and (ii) our more customized financing solution.​​

We valued this opportunity to formalize our relationship with Interceramic on this investment, and we look forward to working with the Company further in the future.​​

“This was our first arranged Senior US Private Placement combined with a mezzanine deal outside of the US, so it’s a groundbreaking transaction for PGIM. We valued this opportunity to assist the Almeida family in taking Interceramic private.”
