Rising purchase price multiples and ROE concerns drove acquirers to seek ways to expand their debt capacity. Some of the most common techniques are:

Adjusted (Increased) EBITDA- Operating improvements- Normalization

Asset Sales- Bridges to asset sales- Liquidity is key in case bridge cannot be taken out

Innovative Securities- Defer interest- Push out amortization- Increase flexibility

Example:-◦ Target company de-merged into ‘PropCo’, which owns the real estate

assets, and ‘OpCo’, the operating company.◦ Banks finance ‘PropCo’ acquisition of properties at agreed Loan to

Value ratio.◦ ‘PropCo’ leases the real estate assets to ‘OpCo’.◦ ‘PropCo’ debt refinanced by traditional Property Lenders or via

Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities (CMBS) market. ◦ ‘OpCo’ required to service the acquisition debt not assumed by

‘PropCo’.

By structuring the financing of a pool of assets with a credit quality stronger than the

corporate credit as a whole, ‘OpCo’ \ ‘PropCo’ financing can provide a cost effective source of

(acquisition) financing.
