The credit facility will pay off an existing Heartland Bank loan while allowing expansion of FFG activities. The Company is the successor of Stevens Financial Group, Inc., which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in March, 2001 and emerged as a public corporation in January 2003. FalconBridge Capital Markets, LLC of Dallas Texas, advised FFG in connection with this transaction and acted as placement agent for the credit facility.
