Great Elm Capital Group, Inc. (“Great Elm”) is a publicly-traded holding company. Great Elm is seeking to create long-term shareholder value by building a business across three verticals: investment management, real estate and operating companies.

INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT
The Great Elm Capital Management (“GECM”) investment team has deep experience investing in leveraged middle market companies. The GECM team has deployed more than $17 billion into credit investments in more than 550 issuers across 20+ jurisdictions during its prior and current experience together. Led by Chief Investment Officer Peter A. Reed, GECM’s investment team has more than 100 years of experience in the aggregate financing and investing in leveraged middle market companies.

REAL ESTATE

Great Elm seeks to build a diversified portfolio of high-quality, income-producing real estate assets that are leased to credit-worthy tenants. Great Elm intends to finance the acquisition of such assets through relatively limited equity contributions and high financial leverage that is non-recourse to Great Elm. Through such acquisitions, Great Elm strives to create long-term value via debt amortization and appreciation in underlying property values.

OPERATING COMPANIES
Building on our team’s experience in long-term investing, Great Elm intends to leverage its core competencies in M&A and leveraged finance to buy, grow and hold high-quality businesses in attractive industries. Great Elm intends to build a portfolio of control investments with a view toward owning these companies for the long-term. Great Elm will then seek to grow these portfolio companies both organically and through M&A.
