Negotiating Issues & Trends in Senior Syndicated Leveraged Loans
Redcliffe Training Associates Ltd
London
Course Overview:
This programme is aimed at professionals involved in syndicated high-yield (leveraged) loans used by both Sponsored and Corporate borrowers.
Historically, bonds were structured mainly as junior debt in the European high yield market whereas the recent trend has seen them used increasingly used as senior debt together with senior loans and/or super-senior RCFs in bifurcated pari Loan / Bond structures.
These developments have intensified pressure on syndicated lenders to adopt a more borrower-friendly approach than is advocated by the relevant Loan Market Association precedents. Borrowers have become increasingly frustrated by the conflicts between the flexibility offered by incurrence-based bond covenants and the more restrictive maintenance-based loan covenants. This conflict is driving convergence between these products and has accelerated the migration of terms from bonds to loans and vice versa.
Well known examples of the former include cov-lite loans and debt buy backs but more recent areas include covenant release/loosening on I-Grade rating and greater flexibility in the use of the various permitted baskets (including reclassification and splitting).
The recent Orange deal introduced a more alarming (and little noticed) innovation which, if adopted in loans, could allow Midco permitted payments to service debt.
This programme will look at the current trends and developments in syndicated loans and will draw on data and analysis from DebtXplained’s Representative Loan Terms Database (debtxplained.com).
The database is a unique tool that has already changed the way that sell-side practitioners pitch for mandates and keep abreast of market trends. It tracks over 400 terms of loan documentation on a non-confidential basis allowing the users to precisely understand what is “market” for all significant negotiating points of a deal at any given time.
This information has never been available to the market before and gives borrowers, bankers, lawyers and advisors unprecedented knowledge of the current trends and practices in the Loans Market and Loan Terms.

Wealth Investment Skills
Investment Education
London
BACKGROUND
Those who have money often make the error of thinking that outside Financial Advisers, Private Bankers and Wealth Managers always act for their benefit and have all-encompassing knowledge. As numerous cases have shown this may be incorrect. Incentives, adviser ignorance and lack of time or experience can have a bad effect.
The best person to decide upon the suitability of any investment is often the owner, if he or she has investment knowledge. Sadly, in many cases, this is not the case. People lack knowledge to discuss, question or challenge what is put to them. Many feel intimidated by the jargon used, the opulent offices and claimed skills of their Private Bankers and Financial Advisers. UBS, previously the largest Private Wealth Manager in the world and supposedly an expert in investment, generated possibly the largest investment loss of any European bank and one of the largest of any investment institution in the world. Where were the investment skills? Where was Risk Control? Appearances can be deceiving.
This is unnecessary. Investment is an art or skill that can be developed in anyone who is interested and will make an effort to learn and question. It is not even hard - Investment is fascinating; it combines an appreciation of the world, common sense and psychology and opportunism. The results can be evident and very satisfying.
