YA II PN

What they do

Founded in 2001 by Mark Angelo, Yorkville Advisors addresses a market segment frequently ignored by traditional financing sources: undercapitalized, smaller public companies. The firm is best known for pioneering and utilizing Standby Equity Purchase Agreements (SEPAs), convertible debentures, and pre-paid advances. Through its flagship offshore fund, YA II PN, Ltd., Yorkville provides rapid liquidity to companies without the need for traditional roadshows. While they are a prolific source of capital-having executed over 700 transactions worth more than $4 billion-their structured finance mechanisms are often highly dilutive to retail shareholders, as Yorkville typically secures shares at a discount to market price and sells them into the public markets.

What they look for

Yorkville's thesis centers on providing customized, flexible financing solutions to businesses worldwide. They aim to partner with companies to support strategic objectives, growth, and acquisitions by offering structured debt and equity that traditional banks or venture funds will not provide. They look for public companies with sufficient daily trading volume to absorb their stock sales, as their exit strategy relies on liquidating converted shares into the public market.
