Enhanced Capital Group and Crossroads to focus relationship on credit investments in Climate Finance, Impact Real Estate, and Small Business Lending to Underserved Communities

Increased scale sets stage to evaluate eventual up-listing

DALLAS, July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Crossroads Impact Corp (OTCQX: CRSS), the parent company of leading Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) and Certified B Corp, Capital Plus Financial, has announced the expansion of its strategic relationship with Enhanced Capital Group LLC ("ECG"), the Impact investment solution of P10, Inc. (NYSE: PX), and a new strategic investment from Conversant Capital LLC ("Conversant").

Investment funds managed by P10 and managed by Conversant are investing a combined $180 million of equity capital in Crossroads at $10.76 per share, with the ability to commit up to an additional $310 million of total equity capital at the same price within the next 120 days. This expanded relationship will increase the scope of capital deployment, previously established by an advisory agreement in late 2021, for Enhanced Capital to issue loans on behalf of Crossroads that positively impact communities across the U.S. by enriching their economic vitality. Specifically, Crossroads plans to increase its capital allocation to ECG's core verticals of climate finance, impact real estate, and small business lending to underserved businesses.

Crossroads is finalizing a new $150 million debt facility led by Texas Capital Bank ("Texas Capital"), which is attractively priced at BSBY + 300bps. This facility builds upon the existing relationship with Texas Capital, a bank dedicated to providing capital to underserved areas.

Thanks to the combination of fresh equity and attractively priced debt capital, Crossroads believes it is well positioned to pursue its ample pipeline of ECG impact loans, which is already approaching $500 million, and is expected to deliver shareholders with an attractive return on equity. Moreover, the additional scale will better position Crossroads to explore an up-listing onto a national exchange, where the Company believes its proven track record of positive impact and strong credit performance would present a differentiated and appealing value proposition to ESG-conscious investors.

"Prioritizing underserved communities and disadvantaged populations is core to what we do," said Eric Donnelly, CEO of Crossroads Impact Corp. "Crossroads is grateful to have incredible partners like P10, Enhanced, and Conversant who have brought transformative capital, and a proven track record of impact to a platform that will positively affect the lives of thousands of people."

"We are thrilled to grow our partnership with Crossroads to provide access to much needed capital for underserved communities to catalyze growth and positive impact," said Michael Korengold, President, and CEO of Enhanced Capital Group. "Our shared mission to inspire community development is the core driver of this program and has been foundational to Enhanced Capital since our inception. Enhanced Capital looks forward to creating additional economic vitality and strengthening community development across the country with Crossroads at an even larger scale."

Michael Simanovsky, founder and managing partner of Conversant, said, "In the current market environment, impact-focused specialty finance companies with deep experience in the sector, proven business models and scalability, such as Crossroads, have an incredible opportunity ahead of them to deploy capital into large, underserved markets with attractive financial and credit characteristics. We're proud to partner with Crossroads and Enhanced to seize that opportunity and build the leading impact-focused specialty finance company in the U.S., which we are confident will deliver value for our investors, Crossroads and P10 stockholders, and underserved communities across the country."

"This partnership offers compelling benefits to all stakeholders by providing additional capital for Crossroads to deploy into socially beneficial, financially attractive investments and accelerate its growth into a fully scaled impact-focused specialty finance platform," said Clark Webb, co-CEO of P10. "Importantly, this also represents a new permanent capital vehicle for P10, and we are grateful investors have entrusted us to deploy capital on behalf of a unique, socially and environmentally beneficial firm."
