HOUSTON, Sept. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Third Coast Bank (the "Bank," "Third Coast," "we," "us," or "our"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Third Coast Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: TCBX), is pleased to announce today the successful completion of a New Syndicated Senior Credit Facility led by the Bank's Corporate Banking team.
Surpassing the initial $50 million fundraising goal, strong interest from potential lenders led to oversubscription, increasing the senior credit facility to $60 million for Syntrio Solutions LLC. Syntrio specializes in delivering exceptional high-speed internet and advanced technology services to underserved communities and new markets across North Texas and Southern Oklahoma.
Kirk Petty, CEO of Syntrio Solutions, conveyed his appreciation for the deal, remarking, "We are grateful for Third Coast Bank's trust in our vision. This funding will empower us to implement our plans and create a tangible impact on individuals and businesses. We look forward to a successful collaboration and the positive impact it will bring."
The partnership marks a significant milestone for both Third Coast and Syntrio, as they aim to bridge the digital divide in underserved regions. The allocated funds will support Syntrio's fiber deployment, ensuring high-speed internet access to communities that have long been overlooked by major service providers.
"We are thrilled to support Syntrio Solutions in their mission to deliver fast and reliable internet services to rural areas," said Elizabeth Falco, Executive Vice President of Corporate Banking at Third Coast Bank. "This investment not only aligns with our commitment to community development but also spurs economic growth and opportunities for the businesses and residents in the surrounding areas by bringing them essential services reliant on high-speed internet," Falco concluded.
Third Coast remains committed to investing in digital infrastructure that enhances communities by facilitating global market access, boosting business efficiency, providing educational resources, linking to healthcare services, expanding job prospects, and delivering real-time information in critical situations.
