medium · Corporate Credit Analysis cap-structure

An analyst is evaluating a 'Double-Dip' debt structure. What is the primary benefit to the new lenders in this complex legal arrangement?

  1. They can bypass the 'Change of Control' covenant to take over the company without paying a premium to other bondholders.
  2. They obtain a claim at both the HoldCo (as direct creditors) and the OpCo (via an intercompany loan pledged as collateral).
  3. They receive a higher interest rate in exchange for ranking junior to all existing creditors.
  4. They are granted an automatic equity conversion right if the company's stock price falls below a certain level.
