medium · Corporate Credit Analysis
A 'double-dip' transaction provides a new creditor with two distinct claims on the borrower's enterprise value.
How is the first of these claims (the 'first dip') typically established?
- Through an intercompany loan from the borrowing entity to an operating subsidiary, which is then pledged as collateral.
- Through the issuance of a hybrid instrument that ranks as debt at the subsidiary and equity at the parent.
- By utilizing a springing lien that attaches to inventory only upon a decline in the fixed charge coverage ratio.
- By obtaining a joint and several guarantee from the parent and all restricted subsidiaries.
