Termination of the Sub-Advisory Agreement with GMG Investment Advisors, LLC
Effective July 20, 2018, TriLinc Advisors International, Ltd. (“TriLinc Advisors”) has terminated the Sub-Advisory Agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between TriLinc Advisors and GMG Investment Advisors, LLC (“GMG”). The Sub-Advisory Agreement was terminated as a result of GMG’s unwinding of its business operations.
TriLinc Advisors entered into the Sub-Advisory Agreement with GMG as of December 19, 2012, specifically for assistance with the origination and co-structuring of Latin America term loan transactions for the TriLinc Global – Latin America, Ltd. Special Purpose Vehicle (“TGIF – Latin America SPV”), a subsidiary of TriLinc Global Impact Fund, LLC. Since inception of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, GMG sub-advised transactions for three borrowers, including a diaper manufacturer in Peru, a sugar producer in Brazil, and a food processor in Peru, for a total of $11.2 million of invested capital.
As of the end of the second quarter of 2018, there was $7.8 million outstanding in the TGIF – Latin America SPV across two borrower companies. TriLinc Advisors currently intends to continue to manage these two loan positions directly but may pursue suitable alternative options for third-party loan management and monitoring in the future.
