GROWTH CAPITAL PARTNERS RAISES GROWTH CAPITAL FOR FREIGHTWATCH INTERNATIONAL

Below is a link to an article in the Austin American Statesman about Growth Capital Partners' most recent closing.

FreightWatch International (FWG) is another example of GCP's "relationship" banking approach. In addition to the recently closed private placement, GCP first made a $6 million investment in FWG, through its captive mezzanine fund (Southwest Mezzanine Investments) in 2008. A partner of GCP serves on FWG board of directors and GCP has an equity position in the company.

The growth capital transaction described below is the 4th transaction GCP has closed in the last six weeks, clearly demonstrating that transactions in the middle-market can be completed in this uncertain economic environment.

We hope you have a good summer and please don't hesitate to contact GCP if we can help in any way.
