Pine Brook typically finances its businesses with equity rather than debt, primarily using a Line of Equity™ funding structure. The Line of Equity™ funding structure recognizes that building businesses is a multi-year process and therefore requires equity investments over time. Under the Line of Equity™ funding structure, Pine Brook and management agree on an amount of equity sufficient to build a business. The terms and valuations of the Line of Equity™ funding structure are agreed to at the time of the initial agreement and equity is available as the business evolves.
