AI 繁中摘要

申報類型：8-K

Gladstone Investment Corporation（納斯達克：GAIN）公佈，其投資組合公司 SFEG Holdings Inc. 已同意將旗下 Specialized Fabrication Equipment Group LLC（SFEG）出售予 Enerpac Tool Group Corp.。這是 Gladstone Investment 買斷策略的又一次成功變現，預計將全額收回債務投資，並從股權中實現可觀的資本收益。SFEG 專門設計及銷售一系列品牌專用設備，服務於製造及焊接行業；Enerpac 則為全球工業工具及服務供應商，是次收購將進一步擴充其專業工業解決方案組合。

Gladstone Investment 執行副總裁 Christopher Lee 表示，公司自投資 SFEG 以來，支持其完成了六項收購，擴大了產品線、客戶覆蓋及市場地位，並祝願管理團隊在 Enerpac 旗下繼續取得成功。總裁兼行政總裁 David Dullum 指出，這項交易將是 Gladstone Investment 自成立以來第 31 次成功退出管理層支持的買斷投資，反映其與管理團隊合作、打造可擴展的中低端市場企業，同時為股東創造經常性收入及長期資本增值的策略。

對投資者而言，本次退出不僅印證 Gladstone Investment 的投資能力，亦有望為股東帶來額外資本回報。公司作為公開交易的商業發展公司（BDC），專注於美國中低端市場的股權及擔保債務投資。前瞻性陳述提醒實際結果可能與預期有差異，相關風險見於 SEC 文件。

 Gladstone Investment Corporation Portfolio Company SFEG Holdings Inc. Has 

Agreed to the Sale of Specialized Fabrication Equipment Group LLC 

 
 

MCLEAN, VA, July 07, 2026: Gladstone Investment Corporation (Nasdaq: GAIN) (“Gladstone Investment”) portfolio company SFEG Holdings Inc. announced
today that it has agreed to the sale of Specialized Fabrication Equipment Group LLC (“SFEG” or the “Company”) to Enerpac Tool Group Corp., marking another successful realization for Gladstone Investment’s buyout
strategy. Gladstone Investment is expected to receive full repayment of its debt investment and realize a significant capital gain on its equity interest. 

SFEG designs and sells a suite of branded, specialty equipment for the fabrication and welding industries. Enerpac is a global provider of industrial tools
and services, and the acquisition further expands its portfolio of specialty industrial solutions. 
 “Gladstone Investment is proud to have supported
SFEG across six separate acquisitions that expanded the Company’s product offering, customer reach, and market position within the fabrication and welding equipment industry,” said Christopher Lee, Executive Vice President of Gladstone
Investment. “CEO Vinay Varma, President Aidan Tagliaferro, and the entire SFEG management team successfully scaled the business through organic growth and acquisitions while broadening SFEG’s portfolio of branded specialty equipment
solutions and we wish them continued success as they further expand under Enerpac.” 
 “The successful sale of SFEG will represent Gladstone
Investment’s 31st realized exit from a management-supported buyout investment since inception,” said David Dullum, Chief Executive Officer and President of Gladstone Investment. “This outcome reflects our strategy of partnering
with management teams to build scalable lower middle market businesses while generating current income and long-term capital appreciation for shareholders.”

businesses in the United States in connection with acquisitions, changes in control and recapitalizations. Additional information on the transaction can be found at www.gladstoneinvestment.com.
