Tacoma, Wash., May 18 – Comstock Growth Fund, LC received subscriptions for $16.18 million of membership interests in a private placement, according to an 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Comstock Growth Fund offered up to $25 million of membership interests. Proceeds will be used to make a three-year loan to Comstock Holding Cos., Inc. at Libor plus 975 basis points with a 10% floor. Comstock Holding will in turn use the loan proceeds to refinance all or a portion of its prior private placements and project mezzanine loans, to capitalize its expansion plans and for general corporate purposes.

The issuance by Comstock Holding of the shares to the purchasers is in lieu of Comstock Growth Fund exercising Comstock Holding’s option to repurchase shares of class A common stock and class B common Stock from the company’s former chief operating officer.
