Oxford Finance LLC, a specialty finance firm that provides senior debt to healthcare services and life sciences companies worldwide, today announced the closing of a $55 million senior credit facility and revolving line of credit to SpendMend, a portfolio company of Sheridan Capital Partners.
The proceeds were used to refinance existing debt, fund the acquisition of Turnkey Pharmacy Solutions ("Turnkey") and Elevate340B ("Elevate"), and provide ongoing working capital. Oxford Finance is the sole lead arranger and administrative agent in this transaction.

"SpendMend is a recognized leader in cost cycle management," said Tracy S. Maziek, head of healthcare services at Oxford Finance.

The continued growth of these businesses, in spite of the global impacts of COVID, strengthened our conviction and validated the compelling value propositions of these businesses. Oxford is happy to be working with the Sheridan team once again and to now be supporting SpendMend."
"The acquisition of Turnkey and Elevate broadens our suite of offerings providing compliance, optimization and growth services for the complex and critical 340B programs at health systems," stated Dan Geehoed, CEO of SpendMend.
