Post Road Group Closes More Than $1 Billion in New Capital Commitments in its Corporate Investment Strategy
STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Post Road Group, an alternative investment advisory firm focused on private credit and private equity investments in digital infrastructure, real estate, and specialty finance, today announced the final closing of its most recent flagship fund in its Corporate investment strategy, Special Opportunity Fund III ('SOF III'), with $525 million in total capital commitments. Additionally, Post Road held the final closing for Post Road Digital Infrastructure Fund II ('PRDI II') with $500 million of total capital commitments in early June. Post Road's Corporate investment strategy provides flexible growth capital to predominantly lower middle market digital infrastructure, TMT, software, and managed services businesses. SOF III exceeded its $500 million target fund size following strong support from a diverse group of institutional investors including public pension plans, insurance companies, endowments, foundations, and family offices, among others. To date, Post Road has invested in five portfolio companies, representing approximately 45% of total SOF III commitments. The near-term investment pipeline remains robust, with several additional opportunities currently in late-stage diligence. In addition, Post Road closed on $500 million of capital commitments for PRDI II which will exclusively invest growth capital in a data center platform. Post Road believes the secular tailwinds driving growth in the data center market, combined with the company's recently signed contracts and additional near-term opportunities with both hyperscalers and large enterprises, present an attractive opportunity to deploy risk-adjusted capital. 'The digital infrastructure industry continues to evolve, and we believe there are considerable opportunities to deploy capital and serve as a strategic investment partner to companies in support of their growth initiatives,' said Michael Bogdan, Co-Managing Partner of Post Road Group. 'Our mission is to identify, collaborate, and partner with exceptional management teams to help them scale their businesses. We are grateful for the confidence our investors continue to place in us, and we look forward to achieving shared long-term success.' Post Road Group's Corporate investment strategy specializes in making private credit, private equity, and structured equity investments in the digital infrastructure, telecommunications, media, software, and business service industries, with a focus on the lower-middle market. The firm seeks to invest in high-growth companies with experienced management teams to form enduring partnerships. Post Road Group is an alternative investment advisory firm that currently manages approximately $3.1 billion of capital across its four distinct, complementary investment strategies which include Corporate (Digital Infrastructure), Real Estate Credit, Real Estate Equity, and Specialty Finance. Since inception in 2015, the firm has committed and invested $4.2 billion of capital on behalf of institutional investors across the world. The firm is based in Stamford, CT.

Ripple Fiber Expands Debt Capacity to $350 Million to Fuel Nationwide Fiber Network Growth
CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Ripple Fiber, a Charlotte-based provider of high-speed fiber internet services, announced today it has secured a significant expansion of its existing credit facility to $350 million. Led and arranged by Post Road Group, the upsized agreement is a significant increase in the company's debt capacity and a vote of confidence, providing substantial resources to support Ripple Fiber's accelerated network deployment across the United States. 'This significant debt facility expansion represents a strong vote of confidence from our financial partners and reinforces our ability to execute our ambitious growth strategy,' said Greg Wilson, Founder and CEO of Ripple Fiber. This substantial debt package is supported by an additional equity from Ripple Fiber's current sponsors. This commitment comes on the heels of the company's strategic merger completion with HyperFiber, which formally combined the companies under the unified Ripple Fiber brand and leadership. With this expanded debt capacity, Ripple Fiber is now exceptionally well-positioned to execute on its near-term build plan with operations in 10 states by the end of 2025. 'This significant debt facility expansion represents a strong vote of confidence from our financial partners and reinforces our ability to execute our ambitious growth strategy,' said Greg Wilson, Founder and CEO of Ripple Fiber. 'Having recently completed our strategic merger with HyperFiber and now securing this enhanced financial flexibility, we are exceptionally well-positioned to accelerate our deployment of next-generation fiber infrastructure to communities nationwide and have ensured that our capital planning allows us to focus on speed of deployment.' The expanded credit facility and further equity commitment from Ripple Fiber's current sponsors provide the capital resources to maintain and enhance the company's position as one of the fastest-growing independent FTTH (Fiber-to-the-Home) providers in the country. Ripple Fiber has already deployed over 170,000 fiber passings across seven states, adding more than 100,000 passings and 13,000 subscribers in the last twelve months alone. The company has developed a clearly defined strategic growth path to expand its fiber footprint nationwide. 'As we've demonstrated our ability to efficiently deploy capital and achieve strong market penetration rates, our partners have enthusiastically increased their commitment to Ripple Fiber's growth story,' said Stuart van der Veen, Board Member of Ripple Fiber. 'The strength of the company's AI-driven market selection technology, coupled with a disciplined approach to capital deployment, enables us to ramp up our build engine and develop multiple markets concurrently. This expanded debt facility provides the runway we need to capitalize on the significant opportunities we've identified across our target markets.' Post Road Group, who has been a key financial partner to Ripple Fiber, continues its support with this transaction. 'Ripple Fiber is building critical infrastructure to connect communities across the country, and we're proud to support their continued expansion. The team has demonstrated strong execution, disciplined market entry, and a thoughtful approach to scaling. This expanded credit facility reflects our conviction in both the Ripple platform and the broader opportunity to deliver competitive fiber infrastructure to underserved communities nationwide,' added Sean Elliott, Vice President of Post Road Group. The increased capital will support Ripple Fiber's continued network buildout, which currently spans across North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Arkansas, Colorado, Michigan, and Massachusetts. The company is in the advanced stages of extending its footprint into four additional states as part of its national expansion strategy. Ripple Fiber's leadership team, with over 200 years of combined telecom industry experience and a proven track record of successful strategic transactions, is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this expanded financial capacity to drive the company's ambitious growth trajectory.
