PONTE VEDRA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Treace Medical Concepts, Inc., a medical device company focused on advancing the standard of care for hallux valgus (bunion) surgery, announced that it closed on a $50 million non-dilutive term loan agreement with CR Group L.P., a healthcare focused investment firm. The Company also announced that it now has up to $10 million available under its revolving line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank.

Under the term loan with CRG, Treace received $30 million at closing and will have access to an additional $20 million in two tranches upon achieving certain milestones. The Company used approximately $21.1 million of these proceeds to retire its existing term debt. The remaining proceeds will be used to accelerate Treace's sales and marketing reach and to continue to fund product development and clinical programs.

“We are pleased to have the confidence and backing of CRG, a premier partner known for its strategic investments to support rapidly growing healthcare companies,” said John T. Treace, Founder and CEO of Treace. “CRG has provided the non-dilutive, long-term capital that will enable us to expand our sales and marketing efforts while fully funding our operating plans through to positive cash flow.”

Luke Düster, Partner of CRG, stated, "This transaction demonstrates our confidence in Treace’s ability to continue to rapidly convert traditional bunion surgeries that typically only treat bunion symptoms to its innovative Lapiplasty® Procedure based on its superior outcomes and patient satisfaction." Kevin Reilly, Vice President of CRG added, “This financing will provide Treace with additional growth capital to support the commercialization of its Lapiplasty® System, the first and market-leading procedure that specifically corrects all three dimensions of bunion deformity creating durable results for patients through a reproducible procedure for physicians.”

Treace also announced the expansion of available funds under its existing revolving line of credit with SVB to up to $10 million. In addition to the line of credit, Treace will continue to partner with SVB for its commercial banking needs.
