William G. Rothschild
April 28, 2010


Sutherland Partner William G. Rothschild is speaking on an ABA eCLE program entitled "Mezzanine Financing:  Bridging the Gap in Loan Refinancings," April 28, 2010.  Permanent lenders are financing now at lower loan-to-value ratios than previously, and mezzanine financing is a key tool to bridging the equity gap.

Topics to be discussed include:

  • How are mezzanine loans typically structured?
  • What are the differences between perfecting security interests under Article 8 vs. Article 9 of the UCC?
  • How is a mezzanine loan different from a B-Note?
  • What are the typical provisions contained in the Intercreditor Agreement between the Mezzanine Lender and the Senior Lender?
  • What have some of the unexpected issues been for Mezzanine Lenders handling troubled deals, and how can those issues be minimized in the future?
  • What surprises have Senior Lenders faced when working out loans on transactions which include a mezzanine loan?
  • How does the securitization of the senior loan affect the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the workout of a troubled senior and mezzanine loan?
  • What if there are multiple layers of mezzanine or senior debt?
