Loot Crate, the leading subscription commerce platform for passionate fans of entertainment and sports franchises, announced today that it has secured new financing in order to fully refinance its outstanding debt facilities and to provide incremental operating capital for the business.

This financing, led by Atalaya Capital Management LP ("Atalaya") and supported by several new investors (including longstanding commercial partners, NECA and Bioworld Merchandising), will enable Loot Crate to bolster its existing subscription lines and improve the overall customer experience, while also enabling new product launches, growth in new product lines and the establishment of new distribution channels.

"Over the past 6 years, Loot Crate has grown and evolved from a single subscription to offering multiple subscriptions spanning the best of pop culture, sports and gaming, thanks to the continued support of our loyal Looter community, investors and partners," said co-founder and CEO of Loot Crate, Chris Davis. "We provide a unique opportunity for fans to connect with their passions. With this new investment, and these new partnerships, we can focus on what made Loot Crate great and deliver on our vision."

Matthew Spiro, Managing Director at Atalaya, added that: "Loot Crate delivers a unique, curated and high-value experience to pop culture fans around the globe. We are excited to anchor this significant investment in order to accelerate the company's profitable operations and position it for growth. We look forward to working with Chris and his team to better serve Loot Crate's loyal customers, bring them new offerings and build upon the tremendous community the company has built."

"Loot Crate has always been an important partner of ours, and we are pleased to expand our relationship with them," noted Joel Weinshanker, Chief Executive Officer of National Entertainment Collectibles Association (NECA). "Our new joint manufacturing agreement builds upon NECA's position as a leading provider of licensed collectibles and Loot Crate's presence serving the fandom community. This arrangement allows for important economies of scale, improved quality and expanded choices, the benefits of which can be passed on to our valued customers. Additionally, NECA and Loot Crate will be evaluating novel crate offerings to be drawn from NECA's deep stable of intellectual property assets."

"After years of working hand-in-hand with Loot Crate, we are excited to expand our relationship into new retail distribution opportunities, joint marketing efforts and new crate launches," said Raj Malik, Chief Executive Officer of Bioworld Merchandising. "Bioworld has one of the broadest license portfolios in the industry. We pride ourselves on innovation and on creating the right products for fans.
