Monroe Capital announced on February 25, 2026 that it will serve as the lead left and administrative agent on a senior credit facility to support First Reserve’s acquisition of WGI, Inc., a multidisciplinary consulting firm headquartered in West Palm Beach, FL.
First Reserve disclosed its intent to acquire WGI on January 29, 2026, and the transaction closed on February 9, 2026. The credit facility provides the debt financing needed for the purchase, allowing First Reserve to complete the deal and expand WGI’s technical capabilities. Monroe Capital’s involvement signals its expanding role in large‑value acquisition financing and adds a significant credit line to its portfolio.
The facility reinforces Monroe Capital’s strategy to support private‑equity sponsors in acquisition deals. For First Reserve, the financing enables the expansion of WGI’s services across transportation design, environmental and water solutions, geospatial and surveying, and subsurface utility engineering, positioning the company to pursue additional strategic acquisitions. The transaction underscores First Reserve’s broader investment focus beyond energy, into engineering and infrastructure services.
Monroe Capital has recently closed a $6.1 billion fund and manages approximately $23 billion in assets under management as of December 1, 2025, indicating its capacity to provide sizable credit facilities. The deal demonstrates Monroe Capital’s continued growth in the private credit market and its ability to support complex, multi‑segment acquisitions.
