Main focus:

Project finance

is based on future cash flows from a financed project as the source of loan repayment. As a rule, the loan recipient is a project company (special purpose vehicle, or SPV).

A parent company shares in the owners’ equity of the project company in a pre‑agreed ratio of debt to equity. Moreover, the parent company’s responsibility and guarantees for successful project implementation are defined and limited in advance.

A typical feature of project financing structures is the maximum possible diversification of risks among parties involved in the transaction.

Acquisition finance

involves financial structures enabling the acquisition of a target company by an investor who does not have enough of its own sources to finance the entire transaction.

As a rule, the borrower is a project company (special purpose vehicle) funded partly by equity from the investor and the remaining amount is provided through a bank loan.

The acquisition loan is repaid from the cash flow of the acquired company.

Structured finance

is based on the existing activities of a company or group of companies and on their financial flows. Structured finance uses a combination of different types of credit lines and products in order to achieve an optimal structure for financing the company, including subsidiaries within the consolidated groups.

Syndicated loans and club loans

are large loans provided by two and more banks under one common facility agreement.

Companies benefit from the advantages of a single credit contract and margin, as well as unified and uncomplicated administration. Furthermore, the financial structures permit the participation of various banks with coordination by the agent bank and equal sharing of the security among the participating banks (club and syndicated loans and borrowings).
