What is the 'compounding frequency' of a PIK loan, and why does it matter?

  1. It is the speed at which the lender can sell the loan in the secondary market.
  2. It is the timing (e.g., quarterly) at which interest is added to the principal; more frequent compounding results in a higher total debt balance.
  3. It refers to how many different lenders are part of the loan syndicate.
  4. It is the number of times a borrower is allowed to skip a cash payment before defaulting.
