Private credit just crossed a line. A lender group led by Blackstone refused to extend another lifeline to Medallia, forcing a breaking point for one of the biggest pandemic-era software buyouts.
This is the shift:
• PIK “fake income” is gone
• Debt costs are exploding
• Cash flow can’t support the structure
The company’s debt service is now approaching $300 million annually — against roughly $200 million in earnings. That’s failure.
Now lenders including Blackstone, Apollo, and KKR are preparing to:
• Push the loan into non-accrual status
• Force a debt-for-equity takeover
• Or demand fresh capital
Blackstone already marked the loan down over 30%. Other lenders have it near 69 cents on the dollar
This is happening across:
• ARR-based lending
• Software rollups
• Private credit portfolios inside pensions and BDCs
