WINTER PARK, FL--(Marketwired - October 12, 2016) - Triloma EIG Global Energy Fund and Triloma EIG Global Energy Term Fund I (the "Funds") announced that they have participated alongside certain other EIG-managed private funds and accounts in a $50 million senior secured notes issuance by Crown Oil Partners V, LP ("Crown"). The transaction was originated, negotiated and structured by EIG Global Energy Partners, on behalf of its managed investment vehicles and as sub-advisor to the Funds.

Crown is a privately held company located in Midland, Texas, that is focused on acquiring and developing oil and natural gas exploration properties primarily in the northern Delaware Basin region, which is the western part of the larger Permian Basin. The notes, which mature in 2019, are floating rate and secured by a first lien security interest in substantially all of the assets of Crown.

Previously, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission granted the Funds an order for exemptive relief, allowing them to co-invest in portfolio companies with each other and with affiliated investment funds. The Crown investment is the first time the Funds have participated in a directly originated investment transaction alongside EIG's private funds.

"The investment in Crown is a great example of how we will leverage EIG's global sourcing and origination platform to directly access opportunities that are not generally available to the broader market," said Deryck Harmer, president and CEO of the Funds.

A full holdings report of the Funds' respective portfolios will be disclosed in their next quarterly N-Q filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The prospectuses and their supplements, which contain important information about the Funds, can be obtained upon request and without charge by writing to the Funds at 201 N. New York Ave., Suite 250, Winter Park, FL 32789, or by calling the Funds collect at 407-636-7115. Prospective investors should read the prospectuses and their supplements carefully before investing. Investors are advised to consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Fund carefully before investing. The prospectuses contain this and other information about the Funds.

The Funds' investments in various types of debt securities and instruments may be secured, unsecured, rated and unrated, are subject to non-payment risk, and may be speculative in nature. Investments in senior secured debt present additional risks, including that there is a higher risk of default than with investment-grade bonds. Generally, investments in debt securities with longer-term maturities are subject to greater volatility than investments in shorter-term obligations. The Funds' investments in energy companies expose the Funds to risks associated with adverse economic, environmental or regulatory occurrences affecting the energy sector, a higher volatility of the market and a downturn in the energy sector could have a larger impact on the Funds than on funds that are broadly diversified across many sectors and industries.
