DALLAS, TX – June 24th, 2013 – Strait Lane Capital Partners, LLC (“SLCP”) is pleased to announce the closing of Strait Lane Capital Partners Opportunity Fund II, LLC. The fund is externally managed and is focused on credit for lower middle-market energy companies. It is a milestone as the fund represents an expansion into new product areas. While SLCP remains focused on investing in important industries that it believes have excellent growth prospects, it will also from time to time deploy capital in specialized markets.

Richard Diamond, one of SLCP’s founding partners notes: “It is gratifying as we approach the fourth anniversary of our founding that we have grown by treating people fairly, doing something smart when possible, and the right thing the first time. SLCP’s investments span leveraged recapitalizations of entrepreneurially owned businesses, acquisitions of publicly traded and privately held companies, the purchase of individual divisions from multinationals, and now the creation of an externally-managed credit fund.”
