The facility

When a transaction has several parties, several kinds of risk or several sources of repayment, the structure matters more than the rate. We design the vehicle, the waterfall and the tranches so that each party’s position is written down and each risk sits where it is best held.

What it is for

  • Acquisition and project structures
  • Mezzanine and subordinated capital
  • Securitisation-style pools
  • Hybrid and convertible instruments

What stands behind it

  • Ring-fenced vehicles and waterfalls
  • Project and contract cash flows
  • Layered security packages

What we ask for

  • The transaction structure and parties
  • Cash-flow model and sources of repayment
  • Legal opinion on the vehicle
  • Security package and intercreditor terms
  • Corporate documents and KYC
