Canadian private equity firm Mosaic Capital Corp has amended an agreement with the corporate financial services branch of ATB Financial to increase its credit facility from $35 million to $50 million. Mosaic CEO Mark Gardhouse said the additional credit availability will allow the firm to make more mid-market acquisitions. The Calgary-based investor earlier this year acquired a majority stake in Cedar Infrastructure Products Inc, a Vaughan, Ontario distributor of specialty materials used in construction.
