Three Keys Capital Advisors entered a new agreement with Mitsubishi HC Capital America, a non-bank, non-captive finance provider in North America, to source and advise on commercial finance transactions, as well as those in sustainable development and capital raising. Together, Three Keys and Mitsubishi HC Capital America will offer private credit and structured finance solutions to sponsor-backed and other companies across various industries in the United States and Canada.

“The principals at Three Keys have worked alongside Mitsubishi HC Capital America and its team for many years,” Chris Pagano, senior vice president and head of structured finance and leasing for Mitsubishi HC Capital America, said. “We have a track record of success in developing strategic markets, identifying new relationships and delivering customized financing solutions to our clients. We look forward to closing many more successful transactions in structured finance in the years to come.”

“As we focus on clean technology solutions, we value the opportunity to continue the work with Three Keys to assist companies with financing and advisory solutions,” Stéphane Arsenault, senior vice president, sustainable development for Mitsubishi HC Capital America, said.

“To further align with the strategic direction of companies such as Mitsubishi HC Capital America, we are dedicating additional resources through a newly established business unit at Three Keys,” David Kanter, managing member of Three Keys, said. “Collaborating with Mitsubishi HC Capital America allows us to create unique structures to meet our clients’ financing needs while bringing fresh and innovative ideas and expertise that adds additional value. Recently, we closed a transaction in the transportation industry, with us serving as the arranger and them as the administrative agent and lead lender. Our relationship proved to be extremely valuable for the client as we advise them on an electrification transition strategy while supporting their current corporate financing needs.”

The new business unit at Three Keys will be led by David Kanter. He has over 30 years of investment banking experience in debt and equity financing, M&A and restructuring advisory. Kanter most recently was a senior managing director of Sunrise Securities and was managing director and head of leveraged finance and high yield, North America for ABN AMRO, where he worked with clients worldwide on cross-border leveraged acquisition financings. Prior to joining ABN AMRO, he held various positions with Lazard Frères, including executing debt and equity financings for companies in multiple sectors. Kanter graduated magna cum laude from Harvard College.
