Golden Pear Funding ("Golden Pear" or the "Company"), one of the top national legal advance companies in the United States, recently closed a senior credit facility for Golden Pear Funding III ("GPIII"), a separate legal entity, with a leading alternative lender.

Founded in 2008, the fast growing Golden Pear has developed into the leading pre-settlement funding company, funding close to $200 million dollars in legal advances throughout the United States. Golden Pear's industry-leading management team, experienced sales force and proprietary CRM systems have fueled the Company's rapid growth.

This new facility provided funding flexibility for the Company while negotiating an increase in its existing senior facility, which it has subsequently successfully completed.

"Working with Bryant Park Capital has been a pleasure. Their attention to detail and
knowledge in the specialty finance space made this a seamless transaction. Golden Pear is looking forward to a long lasting partnership," said Jeffrey Cohen, CEO of Golden Pear Funding.

What do those guys do?

[CreditGuy]

They provide advances against pending lawsuits. If the plaintiff wins, GP gets repaid with a portion of the proceeds.

[Sean Cash]

But they have an MCA division too don't they?

[CreditGuy]

If they do, it isn't very active from what I see. I can count on one hand the number of times we've paid them off and they are typically small positions.
