exposure to numerous other education-related investment opportunities,
Falcon has developed a deep understanding of the post-secondary
education industry. Falcon partnered with a private equity group
to provide capital structure solutions through various changes
in the nature of the transaction, including the departure
of the sponsor's co-investor, uncertainty in the senior debt markets
and purchase price adjustments. Falcon invested senior subordinated
notes with warrants, convertible preferred stock and common equity
and is a significant minority equity owner.
