Angelo, Gordon & Co.’s Net Lease Group Completes Sale-Leaseback Transaction with Carousel Capital

 Angelo, Gordon & Co.s (Angelo Gordon) dedicated Net Lease Group (AG Net Lease) announced today that it has acquired the headquarters and manufacturing facilities of Coffman Stairs, LLC (Coffman), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Visador Holding Corporation (Visador), through a sale-leaseback transaction. Visador is a portfolio company of Carousel Capital, a Charlotte-based private equity firm.

For the Coffman transaction, we valued a partner that could provide certainty of closing on the terms and timeline promised. Based on our prior experience with AG Net Lease, we knew that we could count on them to meet these objectives. AG Net Lease has become a trusted and reliable capital source for us.
Founded in 1874, Coffman is a leading national manufacturer of hardwood and softwood stair parts. The approximately 500,000 square feet Marion, Virginia complex serves as Coffmans headquarters and sole manufacturing facility. The facility is critical to Coffmans vertically-integrated business model and located in close proximity to an abundant source of raw materials. Visador used the proceeds of the sale-leaseback to pay down indebtedness. The deal closed March 30, 2007.

Teddy Kaplan, Managing Director and co-manager of AG Net Lease, commented, This transaction typifies our goal of identifying tenants whose businesses we believe are poised for growth. We are delighted that Carousel Capital chose to work with us on a repeat basis. Carousel Capitals high level of support for their portfolio companies provides us with added reassurance, and look forward to partnering with them again.
