Golub Capital Acts as Joint Bookrunner and Syndication Agent in Support of Thoma Bravo’s Recapitalization of Entrust, Inc.

NEW YORK, March 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Golub Capital announced today that it acted as Joint Bookrunner and Syndication Agent on a senior credit facility used to support the recapitalization of Entrust Inc. ("Entrust" or the "Company") by Thoma Bravo, LLC ("TB"), a leading middle market equity investment firm. Golub Capital worked closely with Wells Fargo Capital Finance ("WFCF"), part of Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE: WFC), who served as Joint Bookrunner and Administrative Agent, to close the transaction.

Headquartered in Dallas, TX, Entrust provides affordable, trusted solutions that secure digital identities and information for consumers, enterprises and governments in more than 4,000 organizations spanning 60 countries. Since 1994, Entrust software and associated services have enabled businesses and governments around the world to conduct high-value, highly sensitive transactions, over wired and wireless networks in compliance with today's regulatory guidelines.

"With the number of phishing and malware attacks growing rapidly each year and costing consumers and corporations billions of dollars, the need for security solutions has never been stronger. Entrust is a proven leader in PKI technology, a universally accepted industry standard for securing online communications. In addition, the Company is rapidly emerging as a leader in the web fraud detection and risk based authentication markets," stated Spyro Alexopoulos, a Golub Capital Principal.

"We are excited to partner with TB and believe their established software industry expertise enables the Company to successfully achieve its growth objectives," Alexopoulos continued.

"As we considered the financing needs of the Company, we knew we needed partners who could offer a quick read and would reliably close on those terms. The software team from Golub demonstrated a thorough understanding of the security landscape, provided a quick read and delivered. In conjunction with WFCF, Golub provided the flexibility and efficiency that we were looking for," said Seth Boro, a Partner at TB.
