PROFILE

Vintage Fund Management, L.P. (“VFM” or "Vintage") is a private investment firm experienced in executing structured investments in middle market businesses typically headquartered in California and the Western United States. Expanding upon the private equity activities of Vintage Capital Group, LLC, VFM typically invests $5 million to $15 million in companies with revenues ranging from $20 million to $250 million. The firm prefers to support management teams that have a significant portion of their net worth invested in their business that are in need of capital to support growth, acquisitions, balance sheet restructurings, majority or minority recapitalizations, or in support of a management-sponsored buyout.

Flexible Investment Approach

VFM utilizes a highly differentiated, flexible investment approach with the ability to invest combinations of debt and equity securities to create capital structures appropriate for the operating plan and cash flow characteristics of each business. VFM will serve as lead investor and provide value-added sponsorship typically resulting in a meaningful equity position. VFM’s willingness to provide flexible capital solutions can help to minimize equity dilution to the business owner.

Value-Added Sponsorship

VFM invests with builders of smaller middle market businesses, owners in need of capital who desire a value-added partner with a flexible capital solution while preserving their shareholder value. Central to VFM’s investment strategy is its value-added partnership with highly successful operators that have a significant equity stake in their businesses. Collectively, the principals of VFM have over 60 years of experience in successfully completing principal investments and financings through numerous business cycles. The principals bring extensive operating and financial expertise combined with a vast network of relationships to support VFM’s portfolio companies.

The Firm’s value creation model includes assisting management in strategic planning, executing and integrating acquisitions, disposition of assets, rationalization of cost structures and working capital management, and marketing and building of sales organizations. Management can leverage the principals’ extensive backgrounds in operations, coupled with their broad and deep understanding of capital markets, generating an excellent value proposition for the middle market entrepreneur. For middle market entrepreneurs seeking less than $15 million in capital, VFM provides value-added sponsorship and the flexibility to invest combinations of debt and equity capital to support the long-term objectives of a business. This differentiated investment strategy sets VFM apart as a unique player among private equity firms.
