Subordinated Debt and Mezzanine Financing

Normally these transactions allow our clients to bridge the gap between equity and senior debt financing to seek out acquisitions and different opportunities. With our assistance, lenders can secure the control and return they require whilst borrowers are allowed to acquire the resources they need for growth. As we negotiate the priorities and subordination agreements among the various classes of creditors, we can structure the financing package for the debentures or notes to involve convertible preferred shares, equity shares, and sale-leaseback arrangements.
