“We are excited to expand our longstanding relationship with the principals at Metalmark, a leading middle market sponsor with whom Lexington has been an investor for nearly 20 years,” said Brent Nicklas, Managing Partner of Lexington Partners. “We are pleased to increase our commitment to MCP II and support the ongoing investment activities of the Metalmark team.”
“We are pleased to build upon our relationship with Lexington Partners, a longstanding Metalmark investor and a leading private equity investor with global institutional sponsorship,” said Howard Hoffen, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Metalmark Capital. “Metalmark looks forward to delivering additional value for all MCP II investors over the next several years.

These investments exhibit Metalmark’s strategy of building long-term value through active and supportive partnerships with the companies and management teams in which it invests.
