Cypress Creek Consulting, LLC (“Cypress Creek”), a consulting and advisory firm specializing in debt capital markets transactions, announced that it was engaged by Charter Communications, Inc. (“Charter”) to help launch a senior secured revolving credit facility to finance the purchase of mobile equipment installment plan receivables with a number of financial institutions.

In its second quarter earnings release, Charter announced that in June 2024, a bankruptcy remote special purpose vehicle and consolidated subsidiary of the Company, CCO EIP Financing, LLC, (the “SPV Borrower”) entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility to finance the purchase of equipment installment plan receivables (“EIP Receivables”) with a number of financial institutions (the “EIP Financing Facility”).
