Under the terms of the agreement, GEM will provide Craven with the funds through a structured stock subscription agreement with the Global Yield Fund.
Craven said the facility is designed to provide equity capital on an as-needed basis to support future transactions and provide additional capital to existing portfolio companies.
Chairman Mark Pajak said: “Having fresh capital available will speed the rate at which Craven House can continue to build value for shareholders over the long term.
“We now have a strong financing partner in GEM. We look forward to working with them in seeking transformational acquisitions for the company and are currently evaluating a number of opportunities; there are no guarantees that any of these will be completed, but further announcements will be made as appropriate."
