Altenburg Advisory (“Altenburg”) is delighted to have advised Argenta Global (“Argenta”), a KKR portfolio company and a leading animal health Contract Development, Research and Manufacturing Organisation (CDRMO) in securing a $50m multi-jurisdictional asset-backed lending (ABL) facility, and an uncommitted accordion facility of up to $25m, subject to further approval.
The debt facility is provided by Macquarie Group’s Specialised and Asset Finance division, a part of its Commodities and Global Markets business (Macquarie). The funding provided for Argenta will refinance existing debt, support ongoing working capital requirements, and fund the group’s CAPEX programme.
The facility was structured as a multi-jurisdictional, multi-asset ABL facility, secured against receivables, inventory, plant and machinery, and real estate across the USA, UK and New Zealand. The structure provided Argenta with a single lender funding solution.
Commenting on the new debt facilities, Alastair Hay, CFO of Argenta, said: “This was a highly complex financing process, and we are grateful for the expertise and support of Altenburg. Their deep understanding of asset-based lending and hands on approach ensured the efficient execution of the transaction within target timescales. The facility will provide the flexibility and scalability to support our continued growth.”

Ross Clarke, Director at Altenburg Advisory, said: “It was a pleasure to work with Argenta on this transaction, ensuring the jurisdictional complexities and valuation workstreams were managed smoothly. We are proud to have played a role in achieving a successful outcome.”
Jamie Sanchez, Senior Vice President in Macquarie’s Specialised and Asset Finance division commented: “Utilising our global expertise and collaborating across teams in the UK, APAC, and the USA, we are proud to deliver this complex, multi-jurisdictional lending and provide Argenta with financing to support their continued growth. It was a pleasure working with Argenta and Altenburg whose deep expertise in asset-backed lending ensured a smooth and well-aligned process from start to finish.”
