CHICAGO (PRWEB)
April 17, 2020
Ziegler, a specialty investment bank, is pleased to announce the successful closing a $61,290,000 Series 2020 bond issue for Van Wert County Hospital Association (d/b/a Van Wert Health) located in Van Wert, Ohio and issued through the county of Van Wert.
The proceeds of the bonds will be used to complete the construction of an 80,000 square foot expansion of its main campus adding much-needed modern medical, surgical and labor and delivery space. The proceeds of the bonds were also used to refinance certain existing debt of Van Wert Health.
Ziegler was retained by Van Wert Health in the summer of 2019 to assess a unique credit situation for the 27-bed rural healthcare provider. Ziegler’s initial assessment led it down a focused path of finding a capital partner that could provide affordable financing and certainty of execution. After performing a comprehensive solicitation, Preston Hollow Capital LLC surfaced as the investor best positioned to deliver on the goals of Van Wert Health and was able to deliver capital on time in challenging market conditions. The limited public offering provides 30-year committed capital for Van Wert Health.
