Park Resorts completes debt and equity refinance

Clearwater International’s debt advisory and real estate team has advised holiday caravan park operator Park Resorts on its recent debt and equity refinance of the company.

Park Resorts operates 39 UK coastal holiday parks across England, Scotland and Wales, incorporating both a holiday sales business as well as a highly successful and profitable caravan sales business. With headquarters in Hemel Hempstead, it employs over 2,500 staff during the peak holiday season.

Clearwater International led the refinancing negotiations for the company with the banks and equity investors. The refinancing of the existing debt facilities will reduce the company's senior debt from £353m to £316m and extend its maturity to December 2017. The refinancing will also allow £60m of capital to be made available for investment to improve facilities in existing holiday parks.

Electra Partners and management become the majority shareholders of the company, with existing equity house GI Partners remaining as a significant minority shareholder. Along with the refinancing, Park Resorts has also announced the appointment of David Boden as CEO. David replaces founder David Vaughan who, following 12 years as CEO, becomes Chairman.
