hard · Private Equity accounting-flow

A sponsor models a 15% PIK junior note to maximize leverage.

How does this affect the 'Equity Plug' s and Uses table at entry?

  1. It reduces the required sponsor equity check by providing more debt proceeds at close.
  2. It increases the sponsor equity check because PIK is viewed as 'equity-like' by senior lenders.
  3. It increases the required equity due to higher financing fees.
  4. It has no effect because PIK interest is non-cash at entry.
