Notice is hereby given that Trumpet SBIC Partners, L.P., 110 East 59th Street, Suite 2100, New York, NY, 10022, a Federal Licensee under the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended (“the Act”), in connection with the financing of a small concern, has sought an exemption under Section 312 of the Act and Section 107.730, Financings which Constitute Conflicts of Interest of the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Rules and Regulations (13 CFR 107.730). Trumpet SBIC Partners, L.P. proposes to provide debt financing to SOI Holdings, Inc., 5260 Parkway Plaza Boulevard, Suite 2100, Charlotte, NC 28217.

Therefore, this transaction is considered a financing of an Associate requiring an exemption. Notice is hereby given that any interested person may submit written comments on the transaction within fifteen days of the date of this publication to Associate Administrator for Investment, U.S. Small Business Administration, 409 Third Street, SW., Washington, DC 20416.
