What is the relationship between the 'bridge' and the 'permanent' Term Loan B (TLB) in many LBO structures?

  1. The bridge is for the senior management, while the TLB is for the junior employees.
  2. The bridge and the TLB are the exact same instrument with different names.
  3. The bridge is a temporary commitment that is often replaced or 'taken out' by the permanent TLB shortly after closing.
  4. The bridge is unsecured, while the TLB is always backed by government guarantees.
