What more can you tell us about the $200m revolving loan facility for the Callidus Capital Corporation affiliate?
It is a complicated, cross-border lending facility provided by a European credit institution. Due to the complex and changing regulatory environment
facing bank
lenders, this transaction faced significant legal challenges.
It was structured to meet
European risk retention requirements and also satisfy the lender’s requirements for Volcker compliance.
The facility is secured
by loan assets originated by Callidus and the accounts into which the related cash flows are deposited. The borrower is a single purpose vehicle set up solely for the purpose of holding loans and acting as borrower.
Lending
under the facility can be made in US Dollars and Canadian Dollars, and the advances are tranched into A and B advances.
