Our experience working with Peapack-Gladstone Bank was fantastic. As a Private Equity Investor, we typically bring in our own lending relationships when acquiring a new platform and have a very high bar for maintaining the incumbent lender. However, as soon as we met the PGB team, we knew we had a great potential lending partner, eager to continue working with a business they had supported for years. Not only did the Bank offer a creative and competitive financing proposal, but the team's intimate knowledge of Primetac's business and deep relationship with the selling shareholders facilitated a smooth transaction and post-closing transition process. We appreciate PGB's continued support of Primetac and look forward to working with them on other transactions at Akoya. Pat Riley, Akoya Capital
