Monetization Financing FAQ

Monetization Financing:The conversion of current and future payment obligations from investment
grade entities into cash that can be used for any business purpose.

Frequently Asked Questions

Two significant requirements are needed for a client to utilize Monetization Financing:

An absolute and unconditional promise to pay from an investment-grade rated Obligor;
Date-certain and sum-certain payment obligations.

An investment-grade Obligor is typically rated by S&P and/or Moodys with an acceptable rating. If a company is not rated, there are alternate procedures to qualify the Obligor. An Obligor is an entity which has contractually agreed to make absolute and unconditional payments to the client for a term of between 1 – 20 years.

What is the interest rate?

Interest rate is determined by a combination of the credit worthiness of the Obligor, where treasuries are trading at the time we circle (lock) a rate and the length of repayment term. These are institutional rates, which guarantees an extremely competitive rate; based over treasury and fixed for the entire repayment term.

What are the minimum and maximum repayment terms?

Three to twenty years.

What is the time frame from initial application to settlement?

If all the stars are aligned we can close within two weeks however, typical turn around is four weeks. Our in-house counsel reviews the documents provided to determine if the obligation is absolute and unconditional. Any needed modifications to those documents are provided by us in writing. Depending on how quickly the respective legal counsel can turn the documents around will ultimately determine the time frame to settlement.

When does the entity receiving proceeds in the transaction get their funds?

All proceeds are paid in entirety at time of settlement in the form of a wire transfer.

What transaction sizes are eligible for this program?

Transactions can range from $5 million and up.

Who are your finance sources?

We have a number of institutional investors (major insurance companies and pensions) acting as our finance sources. We have been able to develop excellent relationships over the past 25 years which allows this excellent program to be offered. Depending on who the rated entity is, industry type and other deal variables will determine which finance source is used for a particular transaction. All parties involved will know who the source is prior to settlement at the time we have a loan commitment and a non-circumvention agreement in place.

How are these obligations secured?

The payments are secured by the absolute and unconditional obligations of an investment-grade rated entity and we file UCC’s against the repayment obligations
