On June 1, 2011, due to the recent passing of the Dodd-Frank financial legislation, the investment and finance teams at Key Principal Partners (KPP) resigned to form Cyprium Partners, a new, independent entity. The Cyprium team, many of whom have been working together for over a decade, will continue our focus on making primarily non-control investments in privately owned businesses based in the U.S. and Canada. Cyprium Partners (Cyprium) is a private investment firm that provides mezzanine and equity capital to profitable, middle-market companies. We differentiate ourselves as a flexible investor that can provide any combination of subordinated debt, preferred equity and/or common equity in either non-control (minority ownership) or control (majority ownership) positions.
