Falcon Solution:
Falcon partnered with a non-traditional private equity group with deep food industry experience to provide a financing solution to support management's acquisition of a non-core milling operation from a leading branded food company. Falcon recognized the acquisition opportunity as an important component to growing 21C's specialty grain and ingredient platform. Falcon's initial and subsequent investments in 21C provided capital to support strategic growth, acquisition and expansion opportunities.
