Interpath’s Leveraged Finance team work closely with management teams and private equity investors to help them implement their optimal capital structure. We provide our clients with strategic advice, access to liquidity across a variety of markets (including senior bank debt, unitranche, FOLO, mezzanine debt) and high-quality execution support for a range of scenarios:
Acquisition Financing
We support private equity sponsors on raising acquisition financing, tailored to the needs of the target and the fund’s investment thesis whilst meeting their transaction timelines. We work closely with the sponsor’s deal team to understand their investment objectives so we can structure the best deal the market is capable of delivering.
Refinancing / Dividend Re-capitalisation
We help private equity sponsors achieve early realisation through dividend recapitalisations and refinancing of existing debt facilities. We can provide our latest insights on the debt markets and the potential funding options available across a range of product markets.
Exit
We can support an exit process by delivering a comprehensive staple financing process. Through extensive sell-side and buy-side debt advisory experience we know what bidders require from a lender education process to drive the best possible valuation and timetable.
Underperformance / Distress
We provide expert support for underperforming portfolio companies without the need to formally engage a restructuring team:
• Managing discussions and communication with incumbent lenders;
• Re-negotiating covenant levels and securing covenant holidays;
• Challenging/stressed refinancing processes.
