As part of its record-breaking 2024, VIUM Capital closed three HUD 232/223f refinancing transactions totaling approximately $70 million for Texas-based Priority Management Group. The HUD loans paid off existing bridge debt and owner’s notes from acquisitions that occurred three years ago. Priority Management Group is a senior living owner/operator in Texas and Louisiana, and is a long-time client. The transaction was led by Scott Blount of VIUM.
Additionally, in November, VIUM closed a $21 million bridge loan ($17 million initial and a $4 million earnout) for a 134-bed SNF in North Carolina. The recapitalization was used to pay off existing debt and a shareholder note, and to provide equity extraction to right-size the leverage prior to going to HUD. The transaction was VIUM’s first with Brighton Healthcare and CareRite Centers, and was led by Steve Munn of VIUM.
