An investor identifies a 'Fulcrum Security' in a distressed company's capital structure.
What does this indicate?
- It is a specialized insurance policy or guarantee contract that ensures full debt repayment in the event of a company default.
- It is the senior-most debt tranche in the capital structure that holds the power to unilaterally block any proposed restructuring plan.
- It is the class of debt most likely to be converted into equity during a reorganization because the company's value ends at that layer.
- It is the common equity tranche, which retains all remaining upside potential once the outstanding debt is fully refinanced.
