(“Tygris”), a commercial finance company, today announced its formation and funding with over $1.75 billion in equity commitments – the largest initial capital raise ever in the U.S. commercial finance sector. Tygris has assembled a team of commercial finance industry executives with significant experience leading large commercial finance businesses. Frederick E. “Rick” Wolfert, formerly Vice Chairman of Commercial Finance of the CIT Group and President of Heller Financial Inc., is the Company’s CEO. Tygris will initially have offices in Chicago, Stamford, CT and Parsippany, NJ. Tygris was founded by Aquiline Capital Partners LLC (“Aquiline”), a New York based private equity firm specializing in financial services, with New Mountain Capital, L.L.C. and TPG Capital joining as lead investors.

Tygris has established significant relationships with financial institutions including Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse, SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Barclays, Wachovia and Wells Fargo Foothill. Tygris was created to provide liquidity and growth capital to middle market companies throughout North America in response to the current credit market dislocation that has constrained the availability of such capital.
