Common Questions
FAQ
What is the difference between a term loan and a revolving facility?
A term loan is drawn once (or in defined tranches) and amortizes on a set schedule. A revolving facility can be drawn, repaid, and redrawn up to a commitment cap — useful for working-capital needs. Many credit packages combine both.
What is an intercreditor agreement?
When a borrower has more than one layer of debt, an intercreditor agreement sets the rules among the lenders — payment priority, lien subordination, standstill periods, and rights in a default or bankruptcy. It is essential whenever senior and mezzanine or junior debt sit in the same capital structure.
What does "funds certain" mean in acquisition financing?
In an acquisition financed with debt, sellers want assurance the buyer can actually fund at closing. "Funds-certain" provisions limit the conditions to the lender’s funding obligation so the financing tracks the certainty of the purchase agreement.
