Syndicated loan

• Special type of loan that is particularly suitable for financing of mergers and acquisitions, corporate expansion, refinancing of existing liabilities and project financing
• It is characterized by substantial loan amounts that are usually provided by a group of lenders – in terms of the lenders’ strategy and client’s position
• In case of a syndicated loan, a client authorises an arranger (or group of arrangers) to form a group of lenders – offers of individual arrangers are presented to the client, who then selects a specific, highly customised solution
• Optimisation of liabilities and mitigation of risk for investors
• Achieve optimal market price at the lowest risk – with the best offer principle – and get a benchmark to facilitate pricing of future syndications
• One of the arranging banks usually acts as a syndicated loan administrator (agent), selected after the syndicate formation
• Solutions are highly customised
