LONDON, Jan. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Sculptor Capital Management, Inc. ("Sculptor") today announced the closing of Sculptor European CLO XII (SCULE 12), a €410.1 million European collateralized loan obligation (CLO).

SCULE 12 marks the second CLO transaction and first new issuance transaction closed by Sculptor in 2025. A controlling equity position was pre-placed with Sculptor Loan Financing Partners, the firm's captive CLO equity platform.

Adeel Shafiqullah, Head of European CLO Management at Sculptor, said, "We are pleased to have successfully closed SCULE 12 and further expand our European CLO platform. We are grateful for the support we received from both new and existing investors as we continue to broaden our investor base."

SCULE 12 was arranged by BNP Paribas and features a two-year non-call period and five-year reinvestment period.

Sculptor has a long track record of managing CLOs through multiple credit cycles, and with the closing of SCULE 12, has issued 45 CLOs & CBOs across the US and Europe since 2012. Sculptor's CLO business benefits from its extensive experience and track record across asset classes, and embedded partnership with its global credit investing platform.
