Mavenir completed a major recapitalization that removes more than $1.3 billion in debt and secures $300 million in new senior financing, significantly strengthening its balance sheet and positioning the company for growth. The transaction, supported by existing lenders, also includes a smaller subordinated facility provided by Siris and participating lenders.
The restructuring reduces net leverage and improves liquidity, giving Mavenir greater financial stability as it pursues its cloud-native and AI-enabled network strategy. Siris remains the controlling shareholder and will continue to play an active role in guiding the company’s next phase of expansion.
Mavenir, headquartered in Richardson, Texas, supplies cloud-native network infrastructure to service providers globally, with a portfolio spanning 5G core, Open RAN, and AI-driven automation. The company said the recapitalization will allow it to accelerate innovation and sustain long-term success in the increasingly software-defined telecom landscape.
