Cary Street Partners LLC Advises Fadó Pubs, Inc. on its Recapitalization and Management-Led Buyout

ATLANTA, GA – May 29, 2013 – Cary Street Partners LLC is pleased to announce that it has served as the exclusive financial advisor to Fadó Pubs, Inc. (“Fadó” or the “Company”), a premier Irish pub and restaurant operator, in its management-led buyout and arranged the capital to finance the transaction.  The Company used the senior debt raised, along with cash on its balance sheet, to purchase a large block of equity owned by a non-management shareholder, to refinance an existing senior debt facility and to provide ample reserves for opening new pubs as opportunities in attractive markets arise.  Fifth Third Bank provided senior debt financing for the transaction.  Terms were not disclosed.

“This is the culmination of a multi-year process to create real value and liquidity for our early shareholders.  Now, as a management-owned company, the team is focused on profitably growing the Fadó and Tigín brands as well as complementary opportunities within the pub sector,” says Kieran McGill, President and CEO.  “Cary Street Partners has advised us along the way.  Their commitment, experience in the restaurant sector and diligence through a complicated and dynamic process was evident,” McGill added.
