"We've found substantial demand from lenders who would like a clean resolution to non-performing loans that have clouded their books for over a year. Our current pipeline, and capital, will allow us to acquire $2 billion to $3 billion in note acquisitions by the end of 2022."
The JLL Capital Markets team led by Kevin MacKenzie and John Marshall advised on the acquisition and capitalization of the loan.
"DIG has carved out a niche by offering a compelling value proposition to lenders who have troubled loans," Marshall said. "DIG completed due diligence on this transaction in 11 days and closed start to finish in less than a month, which has been a key to their success. We look forward to continuing to help build their distressed debt portfolio."
