The advisors on wefox’s restructuring program
Wefox has secured funding of EUR 151 m, consisting of a EUR 76 m capital raise primarily from Chrysalis and other existing investors and a refinancing of an existing credit facility with EUR 75 m from Searchlight Capital Partners’ credit fund, Searchlight Opportunities Fund II.
