Overview
Spectrum maintains numerous relationships with institutional investors, including venture
capital and investment funds, foreign investors seeking equity investments in the U.S.,
regional and money-center commercial banks, insurance companies, pension funds, and
companies seeking joint ventures. These sources provide capital ranging from equity and
equity-linked instruments, to subordinated and senior debt, to lease financing and other
forms of financing.

Spectrum is an expert in raising capital for clients from our network of institutional
investors seeking investments in middle market companies. Our experience with these
firms and understanding of their investment objectives, areas of interest and transaction
processes often enable Spectrum to quickly deliver multiple financing alternatives to its
clients on highly attractive terms.

Strategic investors often represent attractive sources of capital. Frequently, large
