MCLEAN, VA / ACCESS Newswire / July 7, 2026 / Gladstone Investment Corporation (Nasdaq:GAIN) ("Gladstone Investment") portfolio company SFEG Holdings Inc. announced today that it has agreed to the sale of Specialized Fabrication Equipment Group LLC ("SFEG" or the "Company") to Enerpac Tool Group Corp., marking another successful realization for Gladstone Investment's buyout strategy. Gladstone Investment is expected to receive full repayment of its debt investment and realize a significant capital gain on its equity interest.

"Gladstone Investment is proud to have supported SFEG across six separate acquisitions that expanded the Company's product offering, customer reach, and market position within the fabrication and welding equipment industry," said Christopher Lee, Executive Vice President of Gladstone Investment. "CEO Vinay Varma, President Aidan Tagliaferro, and the entire SFEG management team successfully scaled the business through organic growth and acquisitions while broadening SFEG's portfolio of branded specialty equipment solutions and we wish them continued success as they further expand under Enerpac." "The successful sale of SFEG will represent Gladstone Investment's 31st realized exit from a management-supported buyout investment since inception," said David Dullum, Chief Executive Officer and President of Gladstone Investment. "This outcome reflects our strategy of partnering with management teams to build scalable lower middle market businesses while generating current income and long-term capital appreciation for shareholders."
