A 100.0 million unitranche facility is structured with a 70.0 million 'first-out' tranche priced at SOFR + 500 bps and a 30.0 million 'last-out' tranche priced at SOFR + 1000 bps.
If the borrower sees a single blended rate of 11.5% and SOFR is currently 5.0%, which of the following represents the correct mechanical analysis of the pricing?
- The blended rate is 12.5% because the last-out tranche receives a 1000 bps premium.
- The blended rate is 10.0% because SOFR floors usually bind at 5.0%.
- The blended rate is 650 bps over SOFR, totaling 11.5%.
- The blended rate is 7.5% over SOFR, accounting for an illiquidity premium.
