medium · Corporate Credit Analysis credit-metrics

An issuer has a 'J.Crew' style covenant carve-out that allows for the transfer of 'Unrestricted Intellectual Property' to a subsidiary.

How does this structural feature typically impact existing senior secured bondholders?

  1. It improves recovery by diversifying the collateral asset base across new legal entities
  2. It restricts the sponsor from paying any dividends until the transferred IP is returned to the parent
  3. It allows the company to move valuable assets out of the collateral pool to secure new senior debt
  4. It provides bondholders with an additional downstream guarantee from the newly created unrestricted subsidiary
