Flawed financing system
“The European snacks and crisps maker allocated its EUR 185.5m term loan B at 99.5 and Euribor +425bps. The facility was initially guided at 99.5, paying E+375-400bps before being flexed to 99-99.5 paying E+425bps.”
“Pricing has settled at 94 OID and E+600bps and arrangers have switched the deal to a club financing. […] The deal structure remains the same, […] a EUR 275M TLB brought to market on 22 November 2018 guided at E+425-500bps and 99 OID.”
“[…] is calling off the sale after negotiations collapsed in recent days.” “Faced strong headwinds when refinancing in 2018.” “The issuer ultimately went down the club route, turning to direct lenders and other non-traditional buysiders to get the deal done.”

Flexed terms, failed refinancing and dividend recap processes, inflexible documentation putting a strain on the borrower’s operations and failed/delayed M&A processes.
Rosedge’s differentiated proposition
“Cognita has executed a EUR 255m second-lien facility.” “Sponsor Jacobs Holding opted for a second-lien loan to add a subordinated debt tranche […] after the withdrawal of a planned EUR 255.3M unsecured bond.” “E+750 on the margin, which compared favorably with the bonds (which had been heard in an 8.5% area).”
“Jacobs Holding said on 31 January that it had sold minority stakes in Cognita, the UK-headquartered global schools group, to two PE firms – Chicago, Illinois-based BDT Capital Partners and Belgium-based Sofina SA.”
